Q

pelvic fracture treatment

A

can be treated non-surgically

24
Q

fracture of the proximal femur

A

common in elderly individuals
generally involve femoral neck, intertrochanteric region

25
Q

femur fracture risk factors

A

advanced age, smoking, white women, dizziness, alcoholism, osteoporosis

26
Q

femur fracture presentation

A

history of fall, pain in groin, inability to bear weight.
thigh pain, knee pain!!

27
Q

femur fracture PE

A

externally rotated, abducted
limb shortened if displaced
pain with log roll test
unable to straight leg raise

28
Q

femur fracture imaging

A

AP of pelvis, cross table lateral view of hip.
avoid frog lateral d/t pain

29
Q

femur fracture treatment

A

ortho referral, surgery within 48 hrs d/t high risk for thromboembolic events, evaluate for osteopororis

30
Q

osteonecrosis

A

death of varying amounts of bone in femoral head
steroids? (prednisone)

31
Q

stages of osteonecrosis

A

cellular, fragment collapse, surface collapse, arthritis development

32
Q

osteonecrosis presentation

A

dull ache or throbbing pain in groin/thigh, hip or buttock
limited ROM, progressive limp

33
Q

osteonecrosis PE

A

pain with attempted straight leg raise and ROM of hip

34
Q

osteonecrosis imaging

A

AP of pelvis, frog lateral view, MRI if needed

35
Q

osteonecrosis ddx

A

fracture of femoral neck, lumbar disc disease, muscle sprain, osteoarthritis, SA

36
Q

osteonecrosis treatment

A

surgical intervention

37
Q

hip impingement aka femoral acetabular impingement etiology

A

occurs when ossesous deformities occur on acetabular rim, femoral head-neck junction or both

38
Q

femoral acetabular impingement presentation

A

C sign
worse with prolonged sitting, stairs, getting into/out of car
pain over greater trochanter

39
Q

femoral acetabular impingement PE

A

pain and limited internal rotation
decreased hip flexion and internal rotation
positive impingement sign

40
Q

femoral acetabular impingement treatment

A

acetaminophen, NSAIDs, activity modification, deep tissue massage
for refractory cases - surgery

41
Q

lateral femoral cutaneous nerve syndrome (meralgia paresthetica) etiology

A

compression or entrapment of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve
tight clothing/belt, trauma, obesity

42
Q

lateral femoral cutaneous nerve syndrome presentation

A

pain, burning, hypoesthesia

43
Q

lateral femoral cutaneous nerve syndrome treatment

A

remove cause, pain medication if needed

44
Q

snapping hip etiology

A

snapping or popping sensation due to tendons around the hip moving over bony prominences
IT band snapping over greater trochanter most common

45
Q

snapping hip presentation

A

iliotibial - occurs with walking or rotation of hip. localized to trochanteric area
iliopsoas - felt in groin as hip extends (rising from chair)

46
Q

snapping hip treatment

A

reassurance, avoid proactive maneuvers, exercise to stretch
if pain - NSAIDs

47
Q

hip and thigh strains etiology

A

injuries to the muscle-tendon units around the joints

48
Q

hip and thigh strains presentation

A

pain over injured muscles that is exacerbated when they are continuously used

49
Q

stress fractures of the femoral neck (hip) etiology

A

result from dynamic, continuing process
occurs most commonly in athletes, advanced age, military

50
Q

stress fractures of the femoral neck presentation

A

groin and thigh pain associated with weight bearing
usually subsides after cessation of activity
pain with extreme ROM of hip

51
Q

stress fractures of the femoral neck imaging

A

may be missed on plain imaging
bone scans can detect stress factors
maybe MRI

52
Q

stress fractures of the femoral neck treatment

A

cessation of activity
non-weight bearing
surgical emergency if young patient

53
Q

trochanteric bursitis etiology

A

lateral hip pain.
inflammation and hypertrophy of greater trochanteric bursa

54
Q

trochanteric bursitis presentation

A

pain and tenderness over the greater trochanter area
may radiate to knee or ankle or buttock
worse when first rising from sitting
unable to lie on affected side

55
Q

trochanteric bursitis treatment

A

injection of local anesthetic and corticosteroids, NSAIDs, activity mod, IT band stretching, cane usage
