Q

Open packed position of the hip

A

FABER
One of the only joints where openpacked position is optimal articular contact, not the closed packed position.
Flexion and external rotation tend to uncoil the ligaments and make them slack

Q

How do you distinguish Synovitis from septic arthritis

A

Septic arthritis:
Will present with fever, malaise and decreased appetite. Young: two years old, Hip held an open pack position to due to pain
Tx: Aspiration, IV and antibiotics.

Synovitis
inflammation of synovial lining
Not medical emergency like septic arthritis. Usually has upper respiratory infection. Can lead to AVN. Decreased hip IR due to pain, fever LESS than 101
Tx: managed with partial weight-bearing now and imaging needed due to soft tissue origin

A

*Moderate anterior or lateral hip pain with weight bearing activities
*Morning stiffness >60 minutes
Decreased IR and Flexion by >15° difference from CL side, or <25 IR ROM
*Painful IR
* > 50 years

Decreased IR is most Sp, but any ROM loss could be due to OA

Q

Diagnosis of Labral tear anterior vs posterior. Which is more common?

A

Rule out labral tears using FABER, if (-) than tear isnt there. FABER is a intra-articular sign. Clicking is a good way to rule in, moderate association

Resisted SLR tests the posterior labrum. Test position is in ER and ABD

Femoral impingement test: will test the anterior and superior labrum, position of IR and ADD for test.

32
Q

What is the FAI progression

A

FAI can be associated with labral tears.
Impingement and related tears can lead to joint arthritis

Labral tears are due to bony issue or abnormality and can lead to FAI or developmental dysplasia

32
Q

What are types of hip impingement

A

CAM - “Fat neck” aspherical femoral head with bony prominence at antero-lateral head and neck junction
impinges on rim. Lleads to superior OA. Seen in young athletic males
FADIR causes pain and is better test than FABER.

PINCER- over coverage of head by acetabulum, which pinches neck.
Can lead to posterior-inferior or central OA. Middle aged females
Ext and ER cause pain

33
Q

What is the imaging gold standard for FAI

A

MRA because MRI can miss bony cysts

Lateral hip: also known as greater trochanteric pain syndrome
Anterior hip also known as Coxa sultans. Illopsoas tendon snaps over anterior capsule.

Locations of snapping: Iliopsoas over the femoral head,
proximal lesser trochanter,
iliopectineal eminence
Gluteus maximus over the greater trochanter

60
Q

How to distinguish ishiofemoral impingement from hamstring injury

A

distinguish impingement from hamstring using active and passive range of motion of knee flexed and extended. Hamstring MMT shouldn’t recreate symptoms in impingement.

61
Q

What are differential diagnosis for greater trochanteric pain syndrome and how to distinguish

A

Bursitis, external snapping hip, Glute minimus/medius tendon apathy or can be distinguished from one another with palpation.
GTPS will have aggravating factors of pain with active adduction, hip weakness, pain with direct pressure such as laying on the side prolonged activities of walking

62
Q

What is the underlying cause of GTPS

A

Tissue compression over GT due to overuse, leads that TFL hypertrophy and/or weak ABductors ,tissue compression and poor frontal plane control (Trendelenburg). This leads to impairments such as TFL hypertrophy and pain cycle.

63
Q

Patient profile GTPS and differential diagnosis

A

Females in 40s to 50s and athletes. Rule out hip OA.
Related to muscular impairments
excess IR and ADD may cause TFL adn IT issues
aggravation with laying on side and prolonged activities

64
Q

How to distinguish gluteal tendinopathy versus gluteal tendon tear

A

Gluteal tendinopathy will present in middle/older woman with weak abductors and external rotators. Trendelenberg sign will be present pain, single leg stance with less than 30 seconds positive the rotation test

Glute tear: Will present with more severe weakness with the potential for severe pain and Echymosis if a cute. To be treated with irritability level based interventions

65
Q

What is return to sport criteria for hip flexion and abduction injuries

A

Adductots strength greater than 80% of hip abductors

66
Q

What are the short term, intermediate and long-term goals for hip hamstring injury rehab progressions

A

Acute: symmetrical ROM, normalized gait, no pain with submaximal isometrics

Subacute: symmetrical hamstring strength, adequate control, eccentric exercises OK, symptom free jogging

Late RTS goals: strong and pain-free all ROM, no apprehension with H - test, plyos high velocity and perturbation training

<4/10 pain during tx for optimal strength gains

68
Q

Characteristics of femoral nerve neuropathy versus saphrenous nerve neuropathy

A

Femoral nerve neuropathy: quad weakness, entrapment is at the hip flexor if hip flexor weakness is present. hip flexion is spared if the entrapment is under the inguinal ligament. Decreases patella DTR and sensation in thigh and saphrenous pattern (medial knee, lower leg, medial foot, first MTP)

Saphenous nerve neuropathy sensation only in saphenous nerve pattern

69

Obturator nerve neuropathy
will affect adductors and sensation at the medial thigh. Entrapment at adductors. Expect aggravation with hip extension and adductor stretch

LFCN
No weakness sensation loss ONLY over lateral thigh
Aggravated with tight belts/clothing.
+ tinel test at ASIS or just medial to it.
Also known as meralgia persthetica

Hip flexion

72
Q

What are aggravating factors for GT syndrome

A

Adduction, direct pane over area, pressure
