Hip Flashcards
acetabulum composed of?
ilium, pubis, ischium; fused with triradiate cartilage
insertion site at greater/lesser trochanter apophyses
greater: gluteus medius, minimus, obturator internus/externus and piriformus
lesser: iliopsoas
classification system for acetabular fracture
Judet Letournel
intracapsular femoral fractures? extracapsular?
intracapasular: femoral head and neck fractures
extracapsular: intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric
complication of intracapsular fracture? blood supply
osteonecrosis due to injury to medial circumflex femoral arteries at femoral head; little blood supply from ligamentum teres
classification for femoral head fractures
Pipkin
association with femoral head fractures
posterior hip dislocations , AVN, post traumatic arthritis
categories of femoral neck fractures
subcapital, transcervical, basicervical
subcapital femoral neck fracture classification system
Garden classification
Garden classification
I: incomplete/impacted fracture; valgus
II: complete, nondisplaced; varus ~160
III: complete, partially displaced; varus < 160
IV: complete, displaced; head/neck/acetabulum aligned
intertrochanteric extracapsular fracture classification?
Boyd-Griffin and Evans classification for intertrochanteric fractures by orthopedics
subtrochanteric extracapsular fracture classification?
Fielding or Seinsheimer classifications by orthopedics; inferior/lesser trochanter
optimizing hip MRI with hardware
- low field strength, fast spin echo sequences (not GRE)
- increased receiver bandwidth (increase number of aquisitions/NEX, since noise increases)
- direct artifacts in superior/inferior plane so region medial/lateral to implant will not be obscured
- decrease voxel size (decrease slice thickness, increase matrix)
hip fracture on MRI
T1/2 hypointense; hyperintense edema on T2
Stress fracture types
fatigue: abnormal stress, normal bone
insufficiency: normal stress, demineralized/abnormal bone
Stress fracture imaging appearance (XR, MRI)
XR:band of sclerosis
MR: hypointense fracture line with hyperintense T2 bone marrow edema
