8] Adv. Hip Diagnosis And Treatment Flashcards
What’s more common in men
Leg calve perthes disease
SCFE
What’s more common in women
Hip dislocation
Congenital dysplasia of the hip cause
Unknown
Increased incidence of congenital dysplasia
First born females, breech
Sign for Cong dysplasia
+ ortoloni’s/Barlow
What is + ortoloni/Barlow
Hip is ADD then depressed/dislocated then ABD and you hear a clunk
Treatment for congenital dysplasia 1st 4-6 months
Pavlik harness
Treatment if more than 6 months
Closed reduction
Spica cast
Treatment is more than 1 year
Open reduction
Cast
Characteristics of congenital dysplasia of hip
Less femoral head coverage Decreased surface area Coxa valgus (more than 125 deg) Femoral anterversion Associated with labral tears and early OA
Patho of LCP disease
Osteonecrosis of femoral head
Who does LCP happen to and which side?
3-10 year old boys and usually uni
LCP clinical findings
Restricted in IR stiff Spasm of ADD, limiting ABD atrophy Short Leg length discrepancy “Frog leg”
Treatment for LCP
Early stage: abduction braces
Later: surgery
SCFE patho
Displacement of epiphysis off femoral head
Who does SCFE happen to
Pre-pubescent overweighted
Or tall, thing athletic boys
What’s usually the only Sx fo SCFE
Medial knee pain
May include a history of trauma or abnormal/excessive exertion
SCFE
Clinical findings of SCFE
Decreased IR and flex Weak IR Rolls into ER when supine Antalgic gait \+ trendelenburg
Treatment for SCFE
Pinning
PWB
Amb with AD for 4-6 weeks or until callus
Labral tears often occur inw hat direction
Anterior or anterosuperior
MOI for labral tears
Trauma: ER with hyperext
Receptive microtrauma: pivoting and twisting
Flexion, ABD, ER followed by ext, ADD, IR
Anterior labrum
