disorders of the hip Flashcards
hip joint pain causes
osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis, inflammatory conditions (RA, SA), fractures of femur or pelvis, dislocation
hip joint pain location
groin, anterior proximal thigh, buttock, lateral thigh
s/s of hip joint
decreased ROM, limp, inability to bear weight, inability to perform straight leg raise
soft tissue pain around hip on lateral aspect of proximal thigh can be ..
trochanteric bursitis, lateral cutaneous nerve impingement, snapping hip syndrome
pelvic differences between females and males
female pelvic is more oval or round, smaller compared to male
other causes of hip and groin pain
SI joint pain, malignancy, infections, hernias, GI disorder
hip dislocation etiology
when femoral head is displaced from acetabulum
high energy trauma
hip dislocation presentation
severe pain, unable to move lower extremity
hip dislocation PE
posterior dislocation - shortened affected limb, hip fixed in flexion, adduction and internal rotation, sciatic nerve palsy
anterior - hips fixed in mild flexion, abduction and external rotation
hip dislocation secondary survey
femur or acetabulum fracture
abrasions
knee ligament injury
hip dislocation imaging
AP of pelvis, AP and lateral views of the femur including knee
hip dislocation treatment
reduction ASAP
hip dislocation adverse outcome
avascular necrosis
fracture of the femoral shaft etiology
usually caused by high energy trauma
fracture of the femoral shaft presentation
severe pain in the thigh, deformity, unable to move or bear weight
fracture of the femoral shaft imaging
AP and lateral of femur (looking for femur fx)
hip, knee, and pelvis xray
fracture of the femoral shaft treatment
traction, surgery
fracture of the femoral shaft adverse outcomes
fat embolism, multisystem organ failure, complications of open fractures
traumatic fracture of the pelvis etiology
fx of pelvic ring or acetabulum
always two fracturs
traumatic fracture of the pelvis presentation
may be associated with massive blood loss
signs of hypovolemic shock
groin pain, lateral hip or buttock area
traumatic fracture of the pelvis PE
push on ASIS with patient supine
traumatic fracture of the pelvis treatment
surgery
