Pulmonary embolism after hip surgery is a blood clot that travels to the lungs after a hip operation. It can partially or completely block blood flow in the lung arteries. Clinicians use this term when evaluating new shortness of breath, chest symptoms, or low oxygen after hip procedures. It is most often discussed in hospital and early recovery settings because surgery can temporarily increase clot risk.
Pubis is the front portion of the pelvic bone. It helps form the pelvic ring and supports load transfer during standing and walking. Clinicians commonly mention Pubis when discussing groin pain, pelvic fractures, or the pubic symphysis. It is also used as an anatomical landmark in imaging and physical examination.
The Pubofemoral ligament is a strong band of connective tissue in the hip joint capsule. It helps stabilize the hip by limiting certain movements, especially when the hip opens outward. It sits at the front-lower (anterior-inferior) part of the hip joint, near the pubic bone. Clinicians most often discuss it in hip exams, imaging interpretation, and surgical planning for hip stability.
Pubic symphysis is the front joint of the pelvis where the left and right pubic bones meet. It is a strong, slightly movable connection made of cartilage and ligaments. Clinicians discuss Pubic symphysis in pelvic pain, groin pain, sports injuries, pregnancy-related symptoms, and pelvic fractures. It is also a key landmark in orthopedic imaging and pelvic ring stability.
Pubic ramus is a bony strut that forms part of the pubic bone in the front of the pelvis. It helps complete the pelvic ring and supports normal load transfer between the trunk and legs. Clinicians commonly refer to it in pelvic anatomy, imaging reports, and fracture descriptions. It is also relevant in sports medicine, orthopedics, and physical therapy when evaluating groin or pelvic pain.
A Pubic ramus fracture is a break in one of the bony “arms” (rami) of the pubic bone at the front of the pelvis. It is a type of pelvic fracture that can range from small, stable cracks to injuries associated with pelvic ring disruption. It is commonly discussed in emergency care after falls or accidents and in orthopedics when evaluating hip or groin pain. It is also used in sports medicine and osteoporosis care when stress or insufficiency fractures are suspected.
Pubic ramus insufficiency fracture is a type of pelvic fracture that happens when weakened bone cracks under everyday forces. It most often involves the superior or inferior pubic ramus, which are parts of the pelvis near the groin. It is commonly discussed in orthopedics, emergency care, geriatrics, and physical therapy when evaluating hip or groin pain. It is different from a high-energy traumatic fracture because the stress can be normal, but the bone quality is reduced.
Pubic body is the central, thick portion of the pubic bone at the front of the pelvis. Pubic body helps form the pubic symphysis, the joint where the left and right sides of the pelvis meet. Pubic body is a common reference point in imaging, physical exams, and pelvic surgery discussions. Pubic body is often mentioned when evaluating groin pain, pelvic ring injuries, and sports-related pubic symptoms.
Proximal hamstring tendinopathy is a tendon condition near the sit bone at the back of the hip. It involves pain and reduced tolerance to load where the hamstring tendons attach to the pelvis. It is commonly discussed in sports medicine, orthopedics, and physical therapy settings. It is often considered when people report deep buttock pain that worsens with sitting or running.
A Proximal hamstring tear is an injury to the hamstring tendons where they attach high on the pelvis. It usually involves the tendon origin at the ischial tuberosity, the “sit bone.” It can range from a small partial tear to a complete tendon avulsion (pull-off). The term is commonly used in orthopedics, sports medicine, and physical therapy when evaluating buttock or upper-thigh pain after injury.
