Adult Hip Problems Flashcards
where can hip pain originate from in the adult?
groin
can radiate to the knee (obturator nerve supplies both)
how long does a THR last?
10-15 years
what is the most common hip replacement materials?
metal-on-polyethene
what is the most common direction of a hip dislocation?
posterior
what can occur with a hip dislocation?
acetabular wall fracture
femur fracture
presentation of hip dislocation
flexed
internally rotated
adducted knee
risks in hip dislocation
sciatic nerve palsy
AVN of femoral head
OA
management of hip dislocation
reduction
stabilisation
risk factors for proximal femur fractures
OP
smoking
malnutrition
two types of proximal femur fractures
- intra-capsular
2. extra-capsular
what does intra-capsular proximal femur fracture risk?
AVN
non-union
three types of extra-capsular proximal femur fractures
- basicervical
- intertrochanteric
- subtrochanteric
risks in extra-capsular proximal femur fractures
non-union
mal-union
diagnosis of proximal femur fracture
XR (Shenton’s line)
MRI
management of extracapsular proximal femur fracture
intertrochnateric DHS
IM nail
management of intracapsular proximal femur fracture
good function= hemiarthroplasty or THR
poor function= hemiarthroplasty
two types of femoroacetabular impingement syndromes (FAI)
- cam type impingement
2. pincer type impingement
