Hip Flashcards
Prevalence in osteoporosis vs osteopenia
both W>M over 50. Especially osteoporosis
Osteoporosis recommendations
-Screening for rfs >50
-BMD testing for females >65, males >70 (younger post-menopausal women w/ 1 major or 2 minor rfs)
Hip fx stats, progs
-Mostly sustained by people >65
-Survivors have shortened life expectancy
+ prog: sx in 48hrs
- prog: males, >86, >2 comorbs, anemia, mini mental test <6/10
Femur fx prognosis and categories
Prog: displaced vs non, comminution, vascular integrity, reduction, fixation.
-high risk thrombosis/embolism
-intertrochanteric: between trochanters
-subtrochanteric: below trochanters
monitor for AVN and non-union
compression fx more stable than tension fx
Hx with hip fx
-older adult
-trauma vs spont.
sxs hip fx
where pain is
severe groin and anterior thigh pain (more likely than lateral pain)
Hip fx examination
-shortening of LE
-limited/painful squat
-painful/limited AROM/PROM all directions
-pain/weakness with strength testing
+fulcrum and PPT
Hip fx surgical procedures
arthroplasty
external fixation (rare, temp.)
ORIF- full WB 8-12 wks postop
intramedullary fixation
AVN of the femoral head
basically what it is
-Progressive ischemia w/ secondary bone cell death
-Collapsing of bone, leads to degenerative arthropathy
-managed surgically
Hx AVN
30-50s
Rfs: trauma, corticosteroid use, alcys, coagulation disorders, HLD, smoking, autoimmune disease, etc
AVN pain location
deep groin, buttock, and knee pain
AVN examination
-Limited squat
-limited/painful AROM and PROM (IR especially)
-pain/weakness w/ resistive testing
AVN prognostic indicators
Extent of lesion
Location
Bone marrow edema presence
Osteoarthopathy stats
> 65 w/ hip or knee OA
radiography: joint space loss, osteophytes, sclerosis
-symp. vs asymp.
Osteoarthropathy hx
-insidious
-hx of trauma
-family hx
-obesity
-hypermobility
-joint shape abnormality
-physical activity levels
->50yo
Osteoarthropathy sxs
-dull and achy most, but sharp buttock, groin, thigh, and knee pain when aggravated
-C-sign
-hip stiffness (sitting/inactivity)
-difficulty donning pants, socks, shoes
-Stair ambulation issues
Osteoarthropathy examination
-limited hip AROM/PROM, painful at end range (especially IR, flexion, ABD)
-+Scower
+/- weakness/pain w/ resistive testing (bc we avoid end range with MMT)
joint hypomobility
CPR for hip OA
- report squatting as an aggravating activity
- lateral pain w/ active hip flexion
- passive hip IR <=25
- pain with active hip ext
- +scower w/ ADD
(having >=4 is best predictor)
Labral tear correlated with
degenerative oa
developmental hip dysplasia
aspherical femoral head
slipped capital epiphysis
legg-calve-perthes disease
hip trauma
athletics with repetitive pivoting/flexion
FAI
Most common sxs of labral tear
-insidious onset
-groin pain mostly
-activity related pain
-night pain
-locking, pain in walking and pivoting
-limping slight
-requires banister with stairs
FAI 2 types
Cam: increased size of femoral head, irregular junction with neck
-leads to anteriosuperior labral and cartilage damage
Pincer: increased protrusion of acetabular rim
most common is a mixture
FAI hx
hockey players, golfers, dancers, football and soccer players
FAI sxs
sharp, deep anterior pain
pain/limit with deep squat (deep flexion motions)
cutting, lateral movements
hip IR/ ABD motions
-may have painful ER motions with extensive lesions
FAI examination
Cam especially
Cam: hip flex/ABD/IR ROM painful/limited (may have bony end feel)
+ FABER and FADDIR
MRA/MRI to measure angle and identify lesions
Loose bodies - what is it? Characteristics?
-free floating body (cartilage/bone) within joint
-vary in size
-secondary to degen. changes in hip
- may cause muscle inhibition (weak, discoordination)
Hx loose bodies
-chronic hip pain
-advances OA
-prior traumatic hip dislocation
-Prior AVN
Loose bodies sxs
-anterior hip/groin pain
-catching, locking, clicking, giving way LE (mechanical issue)
-sudden pain w/ WB activities
Loose bodies examination
limited AROM/PROM with catching/grinding
springey end-feel w/PROM
Loose Bodies implications
identify, refer, managed with arthroscopy
Snapping hip 3 categories
Intra-articular
Internal
External
Intra-articular SHS
synovial chondramatosis (tumor)
loose bodies
labral tears
long head biceps over ischium and iliofemoral lig over femoral head
Internal SHS
iliopsoas over femoral head, lesser trochanter, pectineus, iliopectineal eminence
fibrosis/tenosynovitis of iliopsoas tendon
snapping/ painful anterior hip (especially extending from flexed position)
pain/snap with movement from FABER position to ext, ADD, IR
