Hip Flashcards
hip disorders 0-2 yo
- developmental dysplasia of the hip
- septic arthritis
hip disorders 2-12 yo
- acute transient synovitis
- leg- calve-perthes
hip disorders 8-17 yo
SCFE
hip disorders 5-30 yo
osteoid osteoma (femoral neck)
normal torsion
- 8-15
- 40 degrees at birth
- normal at 16 years old
anteversion
torsion >15
in-toeing, excessive IR
retroversion
torsion <8
toe out, excessive ER
craigs test
- tests verison of hip
- prone, knee in 90 flex
- rotation hip IR and ER, find greater troch at parallel to table, measure ankle of leg
developmental dysplasia
- 1/100 births
- 6:1 girls:boys
- 80% unilateral, 20% bilateral
- mechanical: position in the womb
- physiological: estrogen and relaxin in utero
- environmental: cultural positioning of infants
- limited and asymmetric abduction
- asymmetric thigh folds
- positive galeazzi sign (unequal knee height in supine hips to 90)
- positive ortolani sign(relocating dislocated hip)
- telescoping
developmental dysplasia treatment
birth to 9 months
- abduction diapers
- pavlik harness
9 months or older
- abduction orthosis (double diaper)
- surgical intervention
septic arthritis
- acute, rapidly progressing infection
- <2 years old
- pyogenic bacteria
- irritability
- hip held in open packed position
- fever, sweating, chills, tachycardia
- loss of appetite
treatment
- aspiration, IV antibiotics
acute transient synovitis
- inflammation of synovial lining
- self limiting
- often preceded by upper respiratory infection
- up to 5% later develop AVN
- unknown cause
Features:
- hip pain, limp, refuse to walk
- decreased hip ROM >IR
- fever possible (<101)
- radiographs will be normal
Management
- relative rest
- PWB crutches
- radiographs
Legg-calve Perthes
- AVN of femoral head
- 3-12 most common (9-12)
- males >females
- whites > blacks
- 95% unilateral
legg-calve perthes presention
- hip and knee pain at night
- ROM decreased abduction and ER; flexion contracture common
- abnormal growth patterns: forearm and hands short, feet short
- psoatic limp: worse late in day
- often very active
- correlated with ADD
legg- calve perthes treatment
- reduce hip irritability
- restore and maintain hip mobility
- regain a spherical femoral head
- prevent ball from extruding or collapsing
SCFE
- posterior and inferior displacement of femoral head
- 2:1 boys:girls
- 10-16 yo most common
- 50% are bilateral
- obese
- black > white
SCFE presentation
- gradual hip pain and limp
- medial sided knee pain
- hip extension and IR limited
- passive flexion presents with abd/ER
- 3-12 months before diagnosis
treatment is ORIF
OA subjectively
- older patient >60
- groin pain, postero/lateral hip, anterior thigh pain
- commonly refers pain to the knee
- high frequency associated with Lspine DJD
