Adult Hip Problems Flashcards
What is the VITAMIN acronym for what conditions can cause
V-vascular I-infective/inflammatory T-traumatic A-autoimmune M-metabolic I-iatrogenic/idiopathic N-neoplastic
you can make new hyaline cartilage true/false
false
can only make new fibrocartilage
what is femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAI)
altered morphology of femoral neck and/or acetabular
causes abutment of the femoral neck on the edge of the acetabulum during movement
what are the two types of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome
CAM -femoral deformity,
Pincer -acetabular deformity
who gets CAM
young athletic males
what does a CAM FAI look like
asymmetric femoral head with decreased neck:head ratio
what does a pincer FAI look like
acetabular overhang
who gets pincer FAIs
females
what do FAIs cause
damage to labrum and tears
damage to cartilage
osteoarthritis in later life
What do patients with FAI present with
actively related pain in groin particularly in flexion and rotation
difficulty sitting
FADIR provocation test positive
what do u use to diagnose FAI
radiographs
CT
MRI
Management for CAM FAI
arthroscopic scan or open surgery to remove CAM/debride labral tears
Management for pincer FAI
peri-acetabular osteotomy/debride labral tears in pincer impingement
arthroplasty in older patients with secondary OA
What is avascular necrosis
failure of blood supply to the femoral head
Pathophysiology of idiopathic avascular necrosis
coagulation of intraosseous microcirculation > venous thrombus causing retrograde arterial occlusion> intreaosseous hypertension>decreased blood flow to femoral head>chondral fracture and collapse
pathophysiology of AVN associated with trauma
due to injury of femoral head blood supply (medial femoral circumflex)
risk factors for AVN
males 35-50 irradiation trauma hematologic diseases dysbaric disorders alcoholism steroid use most idiopathic
