Q

What is the capsular pattern of the hip?

A

IR > FXN > ABD

17
Q

What types of surgery are available for hip OA?

A
Arthroplasty
Osteotomy (usually varus)
-wedge from medial femoral shaft to change weight bearing surface

Arthrodesis (fusion)

18
Q

Anterolateral approach to THR dissects the gluteus medius. What is the restrictions?

A

Limit extension, ADD, ER

19
Q

A trans-trocahnteric approach osteomizes the greater troch. What are it’s restrictions?

A

Ext/add/IR

20
Q

What are some complications post THR?

A

Infection
DVT
Dislocaiton
Loosening of cement

21
Q

In what position is a hip usually fused for arthrodesis?

A

Neutral ABD
ER = 0-30
FXN = 20-25

Orientation minimizes lumbar motion.

22
Q

What typically causes osteonecrosis?

A

Subchondral bone death.

23
Q

Which artery supplies the femoral head?

A

Medial circumflex.

24
Q

What is the crescent sign of AVN?

A

1st area of hyperluscency in fem head around articular surface. Bone later dies and collapses down.

25
Q

Why is it important to catch AVN early?

A

It can revascularize with change in WB.

26
Q

A posterior hip dislocation is most commonly associate with what trauma?

A

Acetabluar fracture.

-femur is ADD/IR on impact

27
Q

What’s the difference between a capital fx and femoral neck fx?

A

Both are intercapsular

Captial = head

  • 2* to osteoporosis
  • shortened LE
28
Q

Is an intertrochanteric fx intercapsular?

A

No, extracapsular

  • <1% AVN
  • most are comminuted
29
Q

What are some signs of an acetabular tear?

A
  • Pain with fxn

- Catching, clicking or locking

30
Q

Where is the iliopectineal bursa?

A

Between psoas and anterior hip joint.
