ROM restoration
Relief symptoms
- Complications AVN Chondrolysis Long term DJD Limb length discrepancy
- To test draw klein’s line along the superior border of the femoral neck
Normal - should cross at least a portion of the femoral epiphysis
SCFE if line does not touch the femoral head
Describe Hip OA/DJD
- Primary OA - no cause wear down with age
- Secondary - predisposing factors
Sequelae - joint pain, stiffness, functional impairments
- Risk factors Family history Obesity Joint capsule mobility impairments Biomechanical insults
ROM/Flexibility loss IR flexion
prolonged morning stiffness
Describe total hip arthroplasty and considerations for the various approaches
indications - severe joint damage, arthritis, displaced fractures, necrosis
- THA precautions
- Any anterior, posterior or lateral approach
Avoid hip flexion >90, adduction past neutral - Posterior or posterolateral approach
Avoid hip IR past neutral and combination of flexion/add/IR - anterior / anterior lateral or direct lateral approach
Avoid hip EXT, ER past neutral and combination of FLEX/ABD/ER
Describe acetabular labral tear
- Causes Impingement Trauma Sports Twisting/torsional movements Insidious
- Location
anterior / superior/ posterior - Etiology
Degenerative, traumatic, idiopathic
Describe femoral acetabular impingement
Abnormal contact between femoral neck and acetabular rim
- Types
cam - femoral head
pincer - acetabular rim
mixed - both
Describe Acetabular labral tear
Could be caused by Femoral acetabular impingement
Imaging to confirm
Anterior, Anterior superior, posterior superior, posterior
Describe Chondral lesions
Acetabular labrum or cartilage tear
Acute or traumatic
Signs of impingement
Could become hip OA
What are some common types of hip tendinopathy
glutes, Adductors, iliopsoas, hamstrings, rectus femoris
Describe trochanteric bursitis
Lateral hip pain
Common in females 40-60 years of age
Caused by friction or direct trauma
- Common bursa
Subgluteus medius
Subgluteus maximus
Describe femoral neck fractures
Intracapsular
geriatric populations
Displaced and nondisplaced
- Complications
Avascular necrosis
Non-union
DJD
Describe a posterior fracture
- MOI - MVA/Dashboard injury/fall
More common than anterior dislocations
Accompanied by acetabular fractures - presentation
Groin pain, lateral hip pain
Leg shortness, flexed adducted IR
- Medical emergency/ complications Blood vessel damage to femoral head Sciatic nerve damage Post traumatic DJD Labral tears Acetabular fractures
- Interventions
Closed reduction
Describe an anterior fracture
Anterior fracture
MOI - Forced abduction
- Presentation
Groin pain/ tenderness
Superior/ anterior - leg held in extension, ER
Inferior - anterior leg held in flexion, abduction, ER - Complications
Nerve damage-Femoral
Post traumatic DJD
Labral tears
Describe femoral anteversion and retroversion
Anteversion
Normal 8-15 of IR
If excessive more IR and lack of full ER
Normal cartilage end feel
Retroversion Relative retroversion 0-8 IR on craig Absolute retroversion - less than 0 or any amount of ER More ER lack of full internal rotation Normal cartilage end feel with IR Out-toeing gait pattern
Describe angle of inclination
Angle between the femoral neck and shaft of femur - 120-135
Coxa valga >135
Coxa Vara < 120
Coxa plana - flat femoral head
Describe synovitis and hemarthrosis
- Synovitis
excessive synovial fluid accumulation in the capsule due to synovial irritation
Gradual effusion 6-12 hours
dull/ achy pain
Swelling end feel, may be empty in severe cases
Rest/PRICE
- Hemarthrosis Blood in joint capsule due to severe trauma, blood needs to be removed immediately Sudden effusion Very painful, hot/inflamed Very painful - no end feel Aspiration of blood, rest/PRICE
Describe Osgood-Schlatter disease
osteochondrosis /apophysitis of tibial tubercle
Results in bigger tibial tuberosity
May result in avulsion fracture
What are some common tendinopathies of the knee
Patellar
Pes anserine
Popliteus
Semimembranosus
Describe patellar tendinopathy
Jumper’ knee - common in people who eccentrically load the patellar tendon
May be similar to osteochondrosis of the tibial tubercle
- Presentation Pain on to the inferior pole of the patella Load related pain that increases with the demand of the knee extensors Pain palpating patellar insertion Pain with loading Dose dependent pain No pain when resting Pain improves with warm up Pain after energy storage exercise
Describe pes anserine tendinopathy
Proximal medial knee pain
All have different actions at the hip
Describe popliteus tendinopathy
Attaches to posterior capsule and lateral meniscus
IR of tibia flexes and unlocks the knee
Should be able to differentiate from semimembranosus due to location and actions that produce pain
Lateral side pain
Describe semimembranosus tendinopathy
Pain with hip extension
Medial side pain
Describe Iliotibial band friction syndrome
Not a TSI
Friction as the TFL passes over the lateral femoral condyle
Could be caused by TFJ or PFJ capsular issues, muscle imbalances, TFL tightness
Reduce stress, heat, ice, strengthen hip abductors, stretch ITB
Describe patello femoral pain syndrome
Most common injury of the LE
Anterior knee pain
Patellar mal alignment
Not TSI
With PFPS patella tracks laterally
Closed chain femoral ADD and IR overpower femoral ABD and ER, causing excessive IR and ADD of the femur
Lateral tracking is due to the femur rotating internally and adducting
Treat weak glutes, or hypertonic IR and ADD
What are some contributing factors to PFPS
Anatomic structure Gender Q angle Subtalar joint position Muscle imbalances Landing pattern Altered core/ LE kinematics Soft tissue restrictions
What are some interventions for PFPS
NSAIDs Minimize PFJ loading Stretch lateral structures Correct muscle imbalances Tapping Activity modification
Describe chondromalacia patella
May cause anterior or retro patella knee pain
Softening or wearing of posterior patellar articular cartilage cartilage
- Types
Age dependent - symptomatic
Trauma dependent - symptomatic
Describe TKR
- Indications Pain and physical/functional limitations due to OA Rheumatoid arthritis Ligamentous instability Infection Avascular necrosis
The goal is to prevent these whenever we can
Treat OA before it gets to this point
3 parts of the replacement
Metal femur, metal tibia, plastic cap for patella
What are some TKR complications
Embolism Poor healing Infection Fractures Neurological/ Vascular injuries Extensor mechanism disruption Restricted ROM
What variable predicts post operative knee ROM
