Hip and Pelvis MSK Flashcards
iliofemoral ligament limits what
strongest lig in body, limits external rotation (with hip in flexion), extension and abduction
femoral neck fx Garden staging
stage 1: incomplete fx line, non displaced
stage 2: complete fx line, non displaced
stage 3: complete fx line and partially displaced
stage 4: complete and fully displaced (capsule completely torn)
Most common hip fx
intertrochanteric hip fx, extracapsular
compression side fx
more common and satble along inferior femoral neck, can be rehabbed, NWB and gradually increase activity
Tension side fx
less stable, NEED SURGERY
Grade 2 SCFE
33-50%
Risk fx for SCFE
GH deficiency, thyroid disease, clasically in obese males
femoral head is displaced posteriorly and inferiorly.
knuckle of bone coming off of femoral head
CAM lesion
acetabulum extends too far and pincers the femoral head / neck on ROM
Pincer lesion
Femoroacetabular impingement
Pincer and CAM lesions, labral tears occur due to this
iliopsoas bursitis and tendonitis
active flexion against resistance recreates pain
internal snapping hip syndrome
iliopsoas tendon snapping over iliopectineal eminence
external snapping hip
TFL snapping over greater trochanter, lateral thigh pain, log roll hip and you can sense their lateral thigh snapping
greater trochanteric bursitis AKA
subluteus maximus bursitis
hip flexor strain/iliopsoas strain
attempting to flex hip while it is being forcefully extended (soccer, kicking)
Hamstring strain
proximal hams, due to eccentric stretching of the muscle against a stronger hip flexion and knee extension forces ; classic example water skiing, posterior thigh bruising, need to r/o ischial tuberosity avulsion fracture
The myotendinous junction is the most common area of hamstring injury.
adductor strain
eccentric injury (trying to adduct thigh) while it is being (most commonly adductor longus)
piriformis syndrome on physical exam
pain & numbness/ tingling down the leg with FAIR testing…. . Piriformis syndrome would cause lateral buttock pain closer towards the greater trochanter.
