Questions With 100% Correct Answers
**True or False: The acetabular labrum extends around the entirety of the hip socket
False
It's a horseshoe shape
**Which ligament is connected to the femoral head and aids in stabilizing the hip socket?
Ligamentum Teres
**True or False: Most FAI contains mixed pincer/cam lesions
True
True or False: FAI can be defined as the repetitive abutment between the femoral neck and
acetabular rim that occurs within ranges of motions which can cause symptoms
True
Cam impingement can be defined as
An aspherical femoral head, usually anterosuperior "aspherical extension"
All of the following are functions of the acetabular labrum, EXCEPT:
1. Provides a suction seal to the hip
2. Adds stability to the hip by deepening the socket
3. Acts as a shock absorber, with its most thick portion superiorly
4. Serves as an attachment for the ligamentum teres
Answer = 4
The ligamentum teres is NOT an attachment site

Central
Peripheral
Peri trochanteric
Peripheral
True or False: The articular cartilage of the acetabulum has a horseshoe shape
True
True or False: A CAM deformity is a bony overgrowth of the femoral neck and is associated with
chondral defects o n the acetabular transitional zone cartilage, while a pincer deformity is an
overgrowth of the acetabulum and is associated with 'pinching' of the labrum and labral tears
True
True or False: The MPFL is the main passive stabilizer against lateral patellar displacement
True
True or False: The MPFL is tightest in knee flexion

White-white zone
What does blumensaats line refer to?
- Known as the intercondylar line
