Hip Flashcards
What is the center edge angle in the hip?(3)
- The angle between the acetabulum and femoral head in the frontal plane
- Normal angle 30°
- A angle greater than 30° signifies dysplastic changes
What is normal angle of inclination of the hip?
What is increased and decreased angle of inclination called.
1.120-130 Degrees
- Increased angle coxa valga <130deg
- Decreased angle coxa vara >120deg
What does coxa vara cause?
What does coxa valga cause?
- Coxa vara Potential sharing forces that can damage epiphyseal plate of femoral head
2.Coxa Valga
-more erect head
—Altered muscle activity and intraarticular forces in the CFJ
—-Altered Cartlidge response
What are potential pain generators of the
buttock region? (10)
Sciatic nerve, piriformis syndrome Sciatic nerve, hamstring syndrome Ischial bursitis Coxafemoral joint Labral affliction Trochanteric, gluteal bursitis Lumbar disk radiculopathy Lumbar zygapophyseal joint Sacroiliac joint Sacrococcygeal joint
What are hip issues related to age? (6)
- Age 4 -10 highest incidence- transient synovitis, Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, (LCPD), and juvenile RA
- Females 11-13 and males 13-15-Epiphysiolysis
- 15-25 -Articular osteochondritis dissecans(OCD) is most common
- 35-50-ischemic femoral necrosis and synovial osteochondromatosis
- 18-40 Labral lesions
- Greater than 40-labral cysts, sacral pathologies, and stress fracture of the femur and/or pelvis
Which patient typically present with a capsular pattern of limitations?(2)
- Hip arthritis
2. Hip arthrosis
What is traumatic arthritis of the hip?(2)
- Consequence of forceful or repetitive hyperextension, rotation, or combination of movements
- <20 y.o.
Signs and symptoms of traumatic arthritis of the hip?(3)
- Groin and anterior tight pain
- Pain with functional activities like: Sitting walking and then ascending stairs
- Internal rotation ROM most limited compared to others
What factors increase the likelihood of hip OA?(5)
- Self reported squatting has a aggravating factors
- Active hip flexion causing lateral hip pain
- Scour test with adduction causing lateral hip or groin pain
- Active hip extension causing pain
- Passive internal rotation less than or equal to 25°
What early treatment is recommended for micro traumatic and macrotraumatic synovitis(arthritis)?
- Early mobilization
2. Joint specific low velocity mobilization manipulation applied with traction
What mobilization and positions can help restore hip flexion?(4)
- Preposition hip in flexion to limit
- Can add, submaximal abduction and ER
- Stimulate the position of landing in gait
- Or submaximal abduction and IR to increase stretch to the capsule
What mobilization and positions can help restore hip extension?(4)
1.Preposition hip in extension to limit, submaximal adduction & submaximal external rotation
When our joint specific mobilization/manipulations contraindicated for hip?(3)
Systematic disorders?(5)
- Joint instabilities with synovitis
- Degenerative bone disorders
- Anticoagulant therapy
Systematic disorders
- RA
- Gout
- Reiter disease
- Paoriasis
- Ankylosing spondylitis
What can cause a nontraumatic capsular pattern of the hip?(4)
- Transient and/or septic synovitis
- Most common male patients ages 4 to 10
- Cause viral or autoimmune response
- Increased risk for LCPD
What does Iliofemoral Ligament restrict? (3)
AKA?
1.Restricts hyperextension,
▪ Superior Portion: Taut with adduction
▪ Inferior Portion: Taut with abduction
2.Inverted Y
What does Pubofemoral Ligament restrict? (2)
1.Hyperextension and abduction
What does Ischiofemoral Ligament restrict? (2)
1.Hyperextension and internal rotation
What are special tests for hip intra-articular pathology?(3)
- FABER Test (Patrick’s Test), (+: pain or decreased ROM)
- Scour (quadrant) Test, (+: pain, apprehension, catching or clicking)
- Resisted Straight Leg Raise (Stinchfield), (+: pain)
What does FABER test for?(3)
- May indicate anterior hip/groin pain
- Posterior hip pain
- Iliopsoas/capsular pathology
