Q
  1. Does RA effect men or women more?
A

a. women 3:1

17
Q
  1. How do OA and RA compare
A

a. pathology
i. OA- reactive changes in the margins of the joint and subchondral bone
ii. RA- inflammatory process proliferation of synovial tissue and granulation of articular surface membrane
b. etiology
i. OA age, obesity, repetitive stress, genetics
ii. RA unknown, with possible genetic contributions
c. clinical manifestations
i. OA localized, slow onset of joint pain, stiffness (short duration)
ii. RA remission/exacerbation, long duration pain swelling fever, malaise, more common in women
d. common sites
i. OA- weight bearing joints
ii. RA- hands, wrist, knee, foot shoudler, hip, elbow, aankle, TMJ, SC, cervical spine
e. systemic manifestations
i. OA- none
ii. RA- pleuritis of heart and lungs, Sicca (dry mucous membranes)

18
Q
  1. What is Coxa valga?
A

a. femoral neck shaft angle greater than 125 degrees

19
Q
  1. How does coxa valga effect hip strength?
A

a. Decreases hip strength do to a smaller lever arm

20
Q
  1. What is coxa vara?
A

a. femoral neck/shaft angle less than 115 degrees

21
Q
  1. How does coxa vara impact the biomechanical chain?
A

a. decreased hip abduction due to early impact of the greater trochanter into the ilium

22
Q
  1. What is femoral anteversion?
A

a. angle of retrotorsion greater than 20 degrees

23
Q
  1. How does femoral anteversion impact the biomechanical chain?
A

a. toe-in gait
b. increased Q-angle
c. increased lordosis

24
Q
  1. What is femoral retroversion?
A

a. angle of retrotorsion less than 12 degrees

25
Q
  1. How does femoral retroversion impact the biomechanical chain?
A

a. femoral ER
b. supinated foot
c. decreased Q angle

26
Q
  1. How many pathologies does the OGI ciriculum list as potential causes of hip AVN?
A

a. 31 with direct trauma and vascular impairments off various sorts toping the list

27
Q
  1. What is Legg-Calve-Perth disease?
A

a. coxa plana or a flatening of the femoral head due to AVN

28
Q
  1. Why is the hip susceptible to avascular necrosis?
A

nn

29
Q
  1. What is the typical patient population for Legg-Calve- Perth disease
A

a. children 3-12 with boys > girls

30
Q
  1. What is slipped capital femoral epiphysis?
A

a. During adolescence the femoral head slips inferiorly at the epiphyseal plate

31
Q
  1. What is the typical patient population for slipped capital femoral epiphysis?
A

a. 10-15 years boys twice as more than girls

32
Q
  1. How does congenital hip dislocations occur?
A

a. hormonal
b. genetic laxity with shallow acetabulum
c. breechdelivery
d. envirnemental
e. often anteverted

33

A

a. Women 6:1 piriformis and 5:1 dysplasia

34
Q
  1. What causes trochanteric bursitis?
A

a. repetitive adduction or leg length discrepancy with muscular imbalance
b. increased Q-angle

35
Q
  1. What are the bursa of the greater trochanter?
A
