HIP Flashcards
MSK: hip
traumatic hip arhritis
trauma can damage the cartilage and/or the bone, changing the mechanics of the joint and making it wear out more quickly. The wearing-out process is accelerated by continued injury and excess body weight.
- Subtrochanteric Fx
- Young or middle aged
- If ORIF fails (non-union), then it is repeated with bone grafting
MSK: hip
Acetabular fracture MOI
trauma
femoral head is driven into pelvis
MSK: hip
Complaints of morning stiffness, stiffness after sitting, and hip pain with weight-bearing are suggestive of joint involvement, such as
- OA
- RA
- avascular necrosis
MSK: hip
Advantages of THR anterior approach surgery
- reduced risk of dislocation since no damage to to short external rotators muscles.
- Barelly any precautions:
- soft tissue precautions
MSK: hip
Meralgia paresthetica:
- Is pain or an irritating sensation felt over the anterior or anterolateral aspect of the thigh due to injury, compression, or disease of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve.
MSK: hip
Which THR approach is technically easier, takes less OR time, less blood loss, less impact on abductor function?
Posterior Approach
- “This is the classic approach that many older surgeons refuse to give up” (Dr. M).
MSK: hip
The piriformis is an___________of the hip at less than 60 degrees of hip flexion. At 90 degrees of hip flexion, the piriformis reverses its muscle action, becoming an ___________ of the hip
- external rotator
- internal rotator and abductor
MSK: hip
Disadvantages of THR lateral approach approach surgery
abductor weakness
MSK: hip
OUTPATIENT HIGH PRIORITY CHECKLIST for THR
- Hip IR/extension ROM
- Neuromuscular control of gluteal muscles
- Lumbopelvic control
- Balance and proprioception
- Gait training
MSK: hip
HIP ARTHRITIS:
- Capsular pattern limitation (IR, FLX)
- Groin or anterior thigh pain
- Nontraumatic or traumatic.
MSK: hip
Acetabular fracture will require what type of examination?
Neurological examination (sciatic nerve)
MSK: hip
MOI of femoral shaft Fx:
trauma
MSK: hip
Mobilization to increase IR
- supine
- flx & add, posterior glide
MSK: hip
THR, greatest factors associated with adverse outcomes:
- Advanced age (>70)
- Medical co-morbidities: CHF, CRF, DM
MSK: hip
Which THR approach has the highest rate of hip dislocations?
posterior approach
MSK: hip
Walking on heels test which dermatome?
L4, dorsiflexion
dermatome: medial leg, medial foot
MSK: hip
displacement of femoral neck fracture will disrupt the blood supply and cause and may cause:
avascular necrosis
MSK: hip
During a resisted testing (prone), a manual isometric resistance given for hip extension.
What muscle istested if the test is performed with the knee in flexion?
What muscle istested if the test is performed with the knee in extension?
- Hip extension, knee flexion: glut maximus
- Hip extension, knee extension: hamstrings
MSK: hip
A post menopausal woman with osteoporosis steps out of the shower, then falls. What type of Fx is most likely to occur in this situation?
Fx of the femoral neck
MSK: hip
Special test Straight Leg Raise results:
- (+) bet 50-70 deg = discs
- >70 deg = hamstring muscle lenght
MSK: hip
Traction to increase hip extension:
- prone:
- indirect: ext limit + ADD/ER
-
direct mob:
- with knee flx ((towel under ISIS), PA mobs
- FABER
MSK: hip
Legg–Calvé–Perthes disease (LCPD) AKA
Ischemic necrosis of the femoral head
MSK: hip
which THR has the lowes rate for dislocation?
anterior approach
MSK: hip
Precaution after surgery is not becasue surgeans are concerned about the prothesis not being able to handle the compressive forces. Surgean are concern about…
the soft tissue disection had no had a chance to heal
MSK: hip
Normal gait speed:
- Normal 1.2 - 1.4m/s
- < 1.0m/s require rehab
- < 0.6m/s increase fall risk
MSK: hip
predictors that increase the likelihood of OA:
- Self-reported squatting as an aggravating factor
- Active hip flexion causing lateral hip pain
- Scour test with adduction causing lateral hip or groin pain
- Active hip extension causing pain
- Passive IR ≤ 25°
- 4/5 present +LR 24.5
MSK: hip
Treatment of avulsion fractures:
- 4-6 wk pain control
- rest
- gradual return to activity
MSK: hip
Causes of dislocation with posterior approach:
- Bending forward while putting on shoes
- Twisting the trunk sit/standing with feet planted
- Rising from a low toilet with hip in ADD/IR position
MSK: hip
how does the leg presents in a femoral neck fracture?
shorter and externally rotated
MSK: hip
Advantages of THR lateral approach approach surgery
- good exposure of acetabulum
- reduced risk of dislocation (no damage to short ER)
- reduced injury to sciatic nerve
MSK: hip
disanvantages of THR posterior approach:
- Dettachment of ER muscles:
- Fascia lata is incised, fibers glut max are split
- Detachment of short ER, incise posterior capsule
