18
Q

what is cam type impingement?

A

there is a femoral head deformity (head not round)

19
Q

who is cam type impingement more common in?

A

men

20
Q

what is pincer-type impingement

A

acetabular overhang

21
Q

who is pincer-type impingement more common in?

A

females

22
Q

what are complications of FAI?

A

damage to labrum
damage to cartilage
leads to OA

23
Q

presentation of FAI

A

activity related pain in groin (particularly flexion and rotation)
difficulty sitting
C positive sign (grasping hip)
FADIR test positive

24
Q

diagnosis of FAI

A

MRI for visualising labrum

25
Q

management of FAI

A

observe in asymptomatic patients

surgery

26
Q

surgical options in FAI

A

debride labral tears
peri-acetabular osteotomy
THR in OA

27
Q

what is avascular necrosis of the hip?

A

failure of blood supply to the femoral head

28
Q

what is the blood supply to the femoral head?

A

medial femoral circumflex

29
Q

causes of AVN of the hip

A
idiopathic
alcohol
steroids
hyperlipidaemia
thrombophilia
30
Q

presentation of AVN of the hip

A

insidious onset

pain exacerbated by stairs or impact

31
Q

diagnosis of AVN of the hip

A

XR normal

MRI shows sclerosis/ lytic zones with hanging rope sign

32
Q

management of reversible AVN of the hip

A
bisphosphonates
core decompression +/- graft
curettage and bone grafting
vascularised fibular bone graft
rotational osteotomy
33

thin cortices
but preserved joint space

39
Q

management of ITOH

A

self-limiting (6-9 months)
analgesia
protected weight bearing

40
Q

what is another name for trochanteric bursitis?

A
