Hip Flashcards
who is most likely to get a cam impingement
20-30yom
what does the iliofemoral ligament do?
it limits extension, adduction, and ER
describe coxa valga (3)
- angle >135
- less shock absorption
- accelerated degeneration
what is synovial chondromatosis?
multiple bone or cartilage loose bodies that shows up as “popcorn” on imaging
what are the six non arthritic sources of hip joint pain?
- FAI
- structural instability
- acetabular labral tears
- osteochondral lesions
- loose bodies
- ligamentum teres injury
what is the general definition of FAI
abnormal contact between the femur and acetabulum resulting in labral and chondral damage
what type of cartilage is on the head of the femur?
hyaline
what is the neural supply to the anterior hip joint and where does the pain refer?
femoral nerve L2-L4 lends to groin and anterior medial thigh pain
obturator nerve L3-L4 lends to medial thigh pain (no groin)
describe OA pain
deep aching poorly localized and presents gradually over years; severe has episodes of sharp pain
what is grade A evidence for flexibility and strength training?
1-5x/wk for 6-12 wks for mild-mod hip OA
hip flexors and ER stretching
hip extensor, abductor, and ER strength
what 3 things cause OA
- abnormal anatomy
- excessive load
- combination of both
describe coxa vara (3)
- angle <120
- less arthrosis
- high risk of stress fracture
what is the grade C weak evidence to dx FAI?
- anterior hip/groin pain or lateral hip/trochanter pain
- aching or sharp pain
- agg by sitting
- pain reproduced by hip flexion adduction, and IR (FADIR)
- hip IR <20 with hip flexed to 90
is the femur anteverted or retroverted?
normal physiologic anteversion
how does excessive anteversion present? (3) who is impacted?
- in toeing
- patellar squint
- excessive IR, decreased ER
boys 2:1
what are the treatment grades for hip problems and why is it important
manual - F education - F stretching - F strengthening - F cardiopulm endurance - F NMR - F
treat. what. you. find.
how does excessive femoral retroversion present? (2)
- excessive ER, decreased IR
2. out toeing
