Hip Assessment Flashcards
Sacrum is always opposite to
L/S
Normal position of pelvis and L/S
Anterior tilt
slight extension
Hip pain is most common in the population
over 60 years
Why is it challenging to give a differential diagnosis
can be pelvis, SIJ, L/S, referred pain
most common hip conditions in young and middle aged active adults
Femoral acetabular impingement
Acetabular dysplasia
hip instability
labral/chondral or ligamentous teres tears
what is an overlooked cause of hip pain
myofascial pain
most common hip pathology
musculotendinous groin and hamstring injuries
extra articular hip pathologies(4)
snapping hip
muscle injuries
stress fractures
ITB restriction
Snapping hip
external: IT over greater trochanter
Internal: Iliopsoas over pelvic rim
Intra-articular: symptoms of other pathologies
Intra articular hip injuries
Femoral acetabular impingement
Acetabular labral tear
chondral injuries
Synovitis
Intra articular patho radiate where
anterior and medial hip due to structures being innervated by femoral and obturator nerve
Posterior hip pain
under recognized manifestation of fermoroacetabular joint disease
referral to L/S and SIJ
Lateral hip pain
tendinosis of glute medius and minimus, thickening of IT band, trochanteric bursitis
Labral tear may refer laterally
Anterior hip pain
C-sign anterior medial thigh
OA primary consideration with older individual
labral tears
FAI, iliopsoas impingement, internal snapping hip, stress fx
limited ROM with OA
All but more hip flexion and internal rot.
Physical examination to diagnosis
30%
Pediatric patients condition and age
Legg-Calves-Perthes disease (3-11)
Slipped femoral epiphysis (12-15)
Labral tear (adolescents-adults)
OA and osteoporotic fx (older adults)
When and why should a patient be screened for infections and cancer
hip close to reproductive system and GI tract
in cases of systemic symptoms
alarming symptoms
fever
malaise
night sweats
weight loss
history of drug abuse
past or present cancer
being immunocompromised
