Pt Reported Outcomes
Harris Hip Function Scale
- popular
- Good for pre/post op comparisons
- Emphasizes Pain and Function
Minimal ROM req’s for Basic Function:
Gait, Sitting, Bed mobility, stairs
- 90deg FLEX
- Normal==120
- 20deg ABD
- Normal==45
- 0deg IR
- Normal==45
- 20deg ER
- Normal==45-60
Problem Solve:
- Pt recently had hip spica cast removed as he was recovering from a femoral fx. Current ROM:
- Flexion=105
- ABD= 20
- IR and ER= 5
*
- When performing PROM ex’s, which motion should be emphasized for your pt if the goal is to facilitate basic function???
- ER
- As long as FLEX reamins limtd to 105, what functional acts will be difficult?
- compensation w/ trunk flexion
Unloading of Hip using ADs
- Walker OR 2 Ax Crutches—-WB restrictions!!!
- unloads up to 100% BW
- GOOD/THE choice for NWB, TTWB, PWB up to 50% BW
- One crutch unloads up to 50% of BW
- GOOD choice for PWB IF cleared for 50% or more BW
- Cane unloads up to 40% BW
- GOOD choice for PWB if cleared for 60% or more BW

Hip Fx and Rule of Thirds
1/3 Recover
1/3 Recover BUT reduced mobility
1/3 Die
Hip Fx is one of leading causes of death in older adults.
Why?
- Fx results in comorbid condition that results in Death.
-
Cycle:
- Hip Fx–> Immob. & INC sedentary time–> PNA (or other med. comps)–> Death
Hip Fxs– Prox. Femur
Risk Factors for Falls in Elderly:
- Slower walking speed (modifiable)
- Hx of falls
- Sarcopenia
- Poor balance (modifiable)
- Cognitive decline
- Poor vision
- Osteoporosis
- Household obstacles such as rugs, power cords, clutter (modifiable)
Hip Fxs – Prox. Femur
Hip Hemiarthroplasty (1/2)
Indications:
- Acute displaced INTRAcapsular prox. femur fx
- frail elderly
- Failed int. fixation of INTRAcapsular fx’s
- osteonecrosis of femoral head
- ALSO used for SEVERE DJD of femoral head w/ healthy acetabulum
Hip Fx’s – Prox. Femur
Hip Hemiarthroplasty
uni vs bipolar, Sx approach, Rehab
-
Unipolar
- stem/head is 1 piece
-
Bipolar
- SOME mvmt b/w stem and head components
-
Sx Approach
-
POSTEROLATERAL == MOST COMMON!!!
- Cemented OR Non-cemented
-
POSTEROLATERAL == MOST COMMON!!!
-
Rehab???
- mimics rehab for THA
Hip Fx’s – Prox Femur
ORIF
Indications???
- Displaced OR non-displaced INTRAcapsular fem. neck fx
- Fx w/ disloc’s of femoral head
- INTERtrochanteric fx’s
- SUBtrochanteric fx’s
Hip Fxs—Prox Femur
ORIF
Traction procedure
- Pin THRU distal femur + traction system IN hospital bed to provide traction to leg to help w/ reduction of fx
- typ followed by sx
Hip Fx’s—Prox Femur
ORIF
In Situ Fixation
- Percutaneous nail thru skin from greater troch to femoral head—- NO cutting thru mm or capsule
- Non-displaced fx’s
- Impacted femoral neck fx’s
- ***Fewer precautions vs. THA or Hemi-arthro
Hip Fx’s —Prox Femur
ORIF
Dynamic (MVMT) extramedullary fixation w/ a sliding (compression) hip screw and lateral compression plate
- allows for sliding b/w plate and screw—> creates compression across fx w/ WB
- mainly for stable intertrochanteric fx’s
- MAY be combo’d w/ an osteotomy for comminuted fx’s
Hip Fxs–Prox Femur
ORIF
Static (NO MVMT) interlocking intramedullary nail fixation OR sliding hip screw coupled w/ an intramedullary nail
For SUBtrochanteric fx *******
Hip Fx’s –Prox Femur
ORIF
Bone force and healing
- NO bone force
- UNLIKELY to heal
- Bone req’s FORCE to HEAL !!!
Hip Fx–Prox Femur
ORIF
Rehabilitation:
- EARLY mob. possible due to stability of fixation
- Fx healing typ takes 10-16wks
Hip Fxs–Prox Femur
ORIF
WB status
ALWAYS det’d by surgeon
Hip Fx’s –Prox Femur
ORIF
Procedures that usually allow for WBAT:
- Non-displaced, rigidly fixed, OR impacted femoral neck fx’s w/ in-situ fixation
- Stable (uncomminuted) INTERtrochanteric fx’s w/ dynamic hip screw and lateral side plate fixation
- Stable SUBtrochanteric fx’s w/ interlocking intramedullary nailing and bone-bone fixation
NOTE: notice “non-displaced, stable, stable”
Hip Fx–Prox Femur
ORIF
Factors in determining WB status:
- age
- bone quality
- density
- fx loc.
- fx displacement
- fixation proc’s
- post-op stability
GOAL of ORIF====>
- Restore mobility ASAP to MINIMIZE negative local and systemic results of immobilization
Hip Fx’s —Prox femur
ORIF
Special considerations for exercise and gait
- Soft tissue healing takes @ least 6 wks; BOTH injury (fx) AND sx procedure can impact local musculature
- TRAUMA from Fx
- INCISION from Sx
- TFL usually cut during Sx and has to heal***
- Return of ABD strength is BIG ISSUE—-slower if glute med cut during sx
- IF glute med NOT cut—–start ABD ex’s sooner
- INTRAcap Fx’s req. incision INTO capsule during sx—-pt MIGHT have post-op ROM PRECAUTIONS in order to AVOID DISLOCATION
Hip Fx–Prox Femur
ORIF Rehab
MAX PROTECTION PHASE
- 90deg HIP FLEX ROM by 2-4wks
- EASY ankle + knee ROM ex’s
- UE ex.
- LOW intensity mm performance ex:
- submax iso’s (guide by pain)
- progress to AAROM
- NO bridging or SLR w/ involved side early on
- Be careful NOT to violate WB precautions!!!
Hip Fx–Prox Femur
ORIF
MODERATE–>MINIMAL PROTECTION PHASES
- Progress to PWB; eventually FWB
- Stretch any Tight mm’s
- Expand ADL training
- Aerobic ex.
- Add resistance for hip ex’s
- Add balance ex’s

Hip OA
Condition characteristics
- GLOBAL cart. loss and loss of jt space
- wide-spread loss of normal jt structure and related loss of function
- often cumulative result of an earlier injury pattern progressing over time:
- Prev injury
- Acetabular labral tear
- Dysplasia (early onset OA)
- Avascular Necrosis

DJD (OA) Hip
Non-Op Tx
Primary Goal——
RESOLVE IMPAIRMENTS!!!
DJD (OA) HIP—
Non-Op Tx
2 things to do:
- GET THEM MOVING!
* Stretch tight mm’s
* Jt Mobs—-if limtd mob.- LOW grade===pain relief
- HIGH grade + MWM (mob w/ mvmt)=== INC ROM
- GET THEM MOVING!
- Strengthening
* LOW impact TE- aquatics, swimming, stationary bike/recumbent
- PROGRESS to GREATER closed chain WB as tolerated
- Begin w/ LOW RESISTANCE & HIGH REPS
- Strengthening
DJD (OA) HIP
NON-OP Tx
MUST PROGRESS TO HIGHER LOADS
(assuming does NOT inc symptoms)
- do NOT stick w/ easy things
- more benefits in pushing them
- Overcome inhibition== INC strength
- Strengthening INCs capacity== raises ceiling
- Stronger you are==LESS effort needed for basic tasks
DJD (OA) Hip
Non-Op Tx
- PRIMARY GOAL:
- Resolve impairments
-
Biomech. Interventions:
- Unloading (single pt cane)
- Heel lift OR orthotic if LLD
- Elevated seats IF flex limtd + painful
- Improve aerobic capacity
- Balance ex’s
2 most often situations for THA
- when guys can no longer play golf
- Women

-
DISADVANTAGES:
-
protected WB initially*
- historically up to 6 wks TTWB, recently more of a trend for faster progression of WB
- LONGER course of rehab
- slower bc waiting for bone to grow into prosthetic
-
protected WB initially*
- ADVANTAGES:

DJD (OA) HIP
THA
Posterolateral Approach
- ROM:
-
No FLEX >90deg, No IR beyond neutral, No ADD beyond midline
- DO NOT CROSS LEGS
-
No FLEX >90deg, No IR beyond neutral, No ADD beyond midline
- ADLs
- Transfers: lead w/ UNINVOLVED side
- bed–> chair or chair–> bed
- keep knees LOWER than hips when sitting
- RAISE toilet seat, bed, chair
- <90deg hip flex
- Avoid bending trunk over legs when rising or lowering to chair or dressing
- shower chair
- Stairs
- UP w/ GOOD, DOWN w/ BAD
- Pivot on sound extremity w/ walker, turn AWAY from involved side when pivoting
- Avoid IR toward INVOLVED extremity when standing
- Sleep Supine w/ ABD pillow
- Transfers: lead w/ UNINVOLVED side
DJD (OA) HIP
THA
Anterior Approach
- ROM: Avoid Hip EXT, ADD, ER past neutral
- also avoid combo of ER w/ Flex and ABD
- avoid excess. FLEX
- IF glute med disrupted OR trochanteric osteotomy done—-> do NOT perform anti-gravity hip ABD for 6-8 wks OR until approved by surgeon
- ADLs
- Do NOT cross legs when sitting
- avoid ADD, avoid ER
- Early ambulation: step-to rather than step-thru op’d side
- Avoid rotating AWAY from op’d side when standing
- ex. turn TOWARD op’d side so as to avoid ER of op’d side
- Do NOT cross legs when sitting
