Hip Flashcards
degrees of freedom of hip joint
3, 6 osteokinematic directions
capsular pattern
joint specific pattern of restriction of passive movement
hip capsular pattern
flexion>IR>abduction limitations
open packed capsular restriction
flexion and ER
How does hip joint congruency differ from other joints?
Very congruent, meaning less accessory movement so mobilizations are less effective
increased stability with mobility
femoral head vascularity
ligamentum teres - 1/3
circumflex
superior/inferior gluteal arteries
4 major ligaments of the hip
iliofemoral: anterior, Y
pubofemoral: anterior
ischiofemoral: posterior
ligamentum teres: blood supply and stabilize at 90 flexion
stabilizer muscles of the hip
psoas, hip rotaters
hip clock orientations
felt around greater trochanter
12: glut med
1-2: glut min
3: glut max
4-5: vastus lateralis
6-7: quadratus femoris
8-10: conjoint tendon
10-11: piriformis

functional mobility at hip
shoe tying: 120 flexion
sitting: 112 flexion
squatting: 115 flexion/ 20 abduction/20 IR
up stairs: 67 flexion
down stairs: 36 flexion
put on pants: 90 flexion
normal angle between head of femur and neck
125 degrees
How does the angle at the femoral neck change the hip?
increased angle: coxa valga
decreased angle: coxa vara
coxa valga
creates increased stress across joint surfaces
shortens hip abduction moment arm to be disadvantageous
increased LE length
creates varus at knee, stress to medial side
more likely to get FAI
coxa vara
more horizontal femoral neck
increased downward shear force
decreased angle of pull for hip abduction
creates valgus at knee, stresses lateral side
more prone to fx due to increased torsional/shear force
femoral anteversion
neck is oriented anterior, smaller angle of head and neck in transverse plane
results in hip IR and in toeing
femoral retroversion
increased angle of femoral neck and head in transverse plane
results in hip ER and out toeing
avascular necrosis of femoral head
dead bone/bone marrow into subchondral plate cause by lack of blood flow to femoral head
PT treatment of avascular necrosis
the aftermath, we can catch condition but primary treatment is surgery
subjective findings of avascuar necrosis
groin pain radiating to lat hip, knee, buttock
deep throbbing
intermittent gradual onset
antalgic shift
risk factors for avascular necrosis
corticosteroid high cumulative dose
alc use
systemic lupus
sickel cell
trauma
cancer
objective findings of avascular necrosis
painful ROM esp IR OP
pain w SLR
antalgic gait
complications of avascular necrosis
incomplete Fx
superimposed degenerative arthritis
Legg Calve Perthes Disease
osteonecrosis of femoral head in kids 4-10
malformed bone due to less blood supply
unilateral
4x more in boys
disorder of epiphyseal cartilage
subjective findings of Legg Calve Perthes DIsease
vague groin ache radiating medial thigh to inner knee
muscle spasm
objective findings of Legg Calve Perthes DIsease
limp/leg drag
thigh muscle atrophy
child small for age
positive trendelenberg
out toeing involved side
decreased abduction/IR
hip flexion contracture
Legg Calve Perthes DIsease treatment
monitoring by physician if mild/mod
severe: operative
slipped capital femoral epiphysis
displacement of femoral head from epiphysis/growth plate during growth spurt
anterior displacement of femoral neck
common in adolescents
