Hip and Shoulder Flashcards
Quadriceps contusions
Cause: constant exposed to traumatic blows
Signs: pain, loss of function, bleeding in affected muscles
Care: RICE, NSAIDS, crutches for severe cases, isometric quad contractions as soon as tolerated
Myositis Ossifications
Cause: formation of ectopic bone following repeated blunt force trauma
Signs: x-rays show calcium deposis; pain, weakness, swelling, decreased ROM, tissue tention and point tenderness
Care: conservative treatment, surgery if too painful and restricting of ROM
Quadriceps muscle strain
Cause: sudden stretch when falling on bent knee or sudden contraction; associated w/ weakend or over constricted muscle
Signs: peripheral tear causes fewer symptoms than deeper tear; pain, point tenderness, spasm, loss of function, discoloration
Care: fit for crutches; rest, ice, compression; determine extent of injury early; neoprene sleeve to provide support
Hamstring muscle strains
Cause: hamstring/quad contract together; change in role from hip extender to knee flexor; fatigue, posture, leg length discrepancy, lack of flexibility, strength imbalances
Signs: muscle belly or point of attatchmet pain; capillary hemorrhage, pain, loss of function, discoloration
Grade 1: soreness during movement and point tenderness
Grade 2: partial tear, identified by snap or tear, severe pain, loss of function
Grade 3: rupturing of tendinous or muscular tissure
Care: RICE, restrict activity, avoid ballistic stretching/explosive sprinting initially; fit for crutches
Groin strain
Cause: difficult to diagnose; early in season due to poor strength/flexibility; from running, jumping, twisting w/ hip external rotation or sever
Signs: sudden twinge or tearing during active movement, produce pain, weakness, and internal hemorrhaging
Care: RICE, NSAID, determine muscle(s) involved, rest, refer out if extreme, fit for crutches if necessary
Hip Joint sprains
Cause: result of violent twist due to forceful contact, force form opponent/object or trunk forced over planted foot in opposite direction
Signs: inability to circumduct hip, pain in hip region, w/ hip rotation increasing pain
Care: x-rays/MRI should be ruled out, RICE, NSAIDS and anlgesics, crutches based on severity,
Piriformis Syndrome
Cause: compression of sciatic nerve; irritation due to tightness/spasm of muscle; may mimic sciatica
Signs: pain, numbness and tingling in butt- may extend below knee into foot; pain increases following periods of sitting, climbing stairs, walking, or running
Care: stretching, massae, NSAIDS, cessation of aggrivating activities, corticosteroid injections, surgery (possibly)
Legg Calve’-Perthes Disease
Cause: avascular necrosis of the femoral head in children 4-10; articular cartilage becomes necrotic and flattens
Signs: pain in groin referred to abdomen/knee; limping; varying onsets and exhibited limited ROM
Care: bed rest to reduce chronic condition, brace to avoid weight bearing, early treatment may reossify and revascularize
Complication: if not treated, will result in ill-shaping and osteoarthritis in later life
Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis
Cause: may be growth hormone related, 25% of cases seen in both hips, epiphysis slips from femoral head in backwards direction due to weakened growth plate, may occure during elevated growth
Signs: pain in groin, hip and knee pain during passive and active motion, limitations of abduction, flexion, medial rotation, and a limp
Management: w/ minor slippage, rest and non-weight bearing may prevent further slippage, major displacement requires surgery, if undetected or surgery fails- severe problems result
Iliac Crest Contusion (hip pointer)
Cause: contusion of iliac crest or abdominal musculature; result of direct blow
Signs: pain, spasm, & transitory paralysis of soft structures; decreased rotation of trunk or thigh/hip flexion due to pain
Care: RICE for at least 48 hrs, NSAIDS; bed rest 1-2 days; refer out for x-rays, padding work to minimize chance of added injury
Avulsion Fractures
Cause: avulsions seen in sports w/ sudden accelerations/decelerations; pulling of tendon away and off bony insertion; common sites include ASIS (sartorius) AIIS (rectus femoris attachment) ishical tuberosity (hamstring)
Signs: sudden localized pain w/ limited movement; pain, swelling, point tenderness
Care: rest, limited activity and graduated exercise
Sternoclavicular Joint (SC Joint)
between sternum and clavicle
allows for rotation during shrugs and reaching above the head
Supported by 4 Ligaments: anterior and posterior SC ligament, costoclavicular ligament, interclavicular ligament
Acromioclavicular Joint (AC Joint)
between acromion process and clavicle
limited motion
supported Primarily by AC ligament
Secondarily by coracoacromial and coracoclavicular ligaments
Glenohumeral Joint (GH Joint)
“true” shoulder joint
Glenoid Fossa of the scapula -VERY shallow
head of the humerus (3-4 x larger than glenoid)
Lacking in boney stability
deepened by miniscus structure - Glenoid Labrum: adds stability to joint
Stabilized by two types of stabilizers:
1) Static: joint capsule and several GH ligaments
2) Dynamic: supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis
Bursa of the shoulder
subacronial (clinically most important)
Nerve supply of the shoulder
Brachial Plexus (c5-t1)
Blood supply of shoulder
subclavian and axillary artery
Shoulder Flexion
Anterior Deltoid and Pectoralis Major
Shoulder Extension
Posterior Deltoid
Shoulder Abduction
Supraspinatus and Middle Deltoid
Shoulder Adduction
Pectoralis Major and Latissimus Dorsi
Shoulder Internal Rotation
Anterior Deltoid and Subscapularis
Shoulder External Rotation
Infraspinatus and Teres Minor
Shoulder Horizontal Adduction/Flexion
Anterior Deltoid
