Q

What is best treatment for Groin Pulls?

A
  • Active Strengthening of the Adductors

- Should be 80% of the strength of the ABductors to avoid reinjury

Q

What is Osteitis Pubis?

A
  • Chronic inflammation of the Pubic Symphysis
  • Caused by repetitive stress of the muscels that attach to Pubic Symphysis
  • X rays show widening of the symphysis and can appear “moth eaten” in chronic cases

A
  • Fitzgeralds Labral Test, Impingment Test

- Treated with Reduced Weight Bearing and Crutches x 4 weeks, if no change, may require surgery

Q

What is Hamstring Syndrome?

A
  • Entrapment of the Sciatic Nerve by Adhesions in the Hamstrings
  • Caused by Repetitive Hamstring Strain
17
Q

How does Superior Gluteal Nerve Become Entrapped?

A
  • As it passes through Greater Sciatic Notch and Piriformis

- Pain in Gluteal Area and Tenderness to Palpation just lateral to Greater Sciatic Notch

18
Q

What is a Malgaigne Fracture?

A
  • Double Vertical Fractur of the Pelvis
  • Usually Superior and Inferior Pubic Ramus and ipsilateral SIJ dysfunction
  • Makes Pelvis Unstable
19
Q

What are the Total Hip Precautions?

A
  • Hip Flex > 90
  • Internal Rotation
  • Adduction past midline
20
Q

What are the outcome differences between Anterolateral and Posterior Approach for THA?

A
  • Anterolateral has less risk of Dislocation but requires more time to full weight bearing because of Glut Med Integrity
  • Posterior approach at higher risk for dislocation but faster recovery times
21
Q

What are some Contraindications for Posterior Approach THA?

A
  • Dementia, Mental Retardation, etc.

- Times when patient unable to follow precautions well

22
Q

What is Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip?

A
  • Developmental Abnormality resulting in possible Subluxation and Dislocation of the hips in infants
  • Tested with Barlow, Ortolani, and Galeazzi Special Tests
  • Treated with Pavlik Harness or Surgical Reduction if needed
23
Q

What is Legg Calve Perthes?

A
  • Idiopathic avascular necrosis of the proximal femoral epiphysis in children
  • Most Common between the ages of 4 and 8
  • Children over Age 6 has worse prognosis than <6
  • When Lateral Pillar of the femur has decreased height or there is a loss or ROM, worse prognosis as well
24
Q

What is Treatment for Legg Calve Perthes?

A
  • observation alone, activity restriction, partial weight bearing, traction, and physical therapy
  • Maintain ROM
  • Surgical Procedures include osteotomy and are typically performed on children with poor prognosis for conservative treatment
25
Q

What is Typical Presentation of Legg Calve Perthes?

A
  • Painless Limp
  • Groin, Hip, Thigh Pain
  • Loss of Internal Rotation and Abduction
26
Q

What is Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis?

A
  • Disorder of the proximal femoral physis that leads to slippage of the epiphysis relative to the femoral neck
  • Occurs most often in obese males
  • Usually treated with Percutaneous Pinning
27
Q

What is the typical presentation of Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis?

A
  • Groin, Thigh, and Knee Pain
  • Externally Rotated Hip in Gait
  • Loss of Internal Rotation, Abduction and Flexion
28
Q

What is Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency?

A
  • Congenital Defect of the proximal femur
  • Results in possible Absent Hip, Absent Femur, or shortened Femur
  • Severe Shortening of one or both legs, percentage of shortening remains constant with growth
  • Can be treated with observation (in bilateral cases) or with surgical lengthening or ampuation depending on severity
29
Q

Describe Genu Varum Progression in Children

A
  • Genu varum (bowed legs) is normal in children less than 2 years
  • Genu varum migrates to a neutral at ~ 14 months
  • Peak genu valgum (knocked knees) at ~ 3 years of age
  • Genu valgum then migrates back to normal physiologic valgus at ~ 4 years of age
30
Q

What are Infantile and Adolescent Blounts Disease?

A
  • Progressive pathologic genu varum centered at the tibia
  • Infantile < 3
  • Adolescent > 10
  • Treated with bracing with KAFO in children < 3 and Osteotomy Children > 3
31
Q

What Degree of Hip Flexion do you test the adductors in to differentiate specific muscle (groin) strain?

A
  • 0 Deg - Gracilis
  • 45 Deg - Adductor Longus and Brevis
  • 90 Deg- Pectineus
