1
Q

What is the angle of inclination and what are the clinical manifestations of Coxa Vara and Coxa Valga

A

The angle of shaft, to the neck of the femur

Q

What is the angle of torsion and what are the clinical manifestations of excessive anteversion and retroversion?

A

The rotation the head of femur must do to fit into the capsule
Excessive anteversion = >15 degrees, medial rotates the tibia causing toe in gate
Retroversion = <15 degrees, toe out gate and lateral rotation of tibia

Q

What are some objective signs of hip OA?

A

Q

What is femoroacetabular impingement?

A

Cam impingement = excessive bone on anterior neck of femur

Pincer impingement = acetabular has extended part like a pincer and it affects rotation

17
Q

What FAI predicts OA?

A

Cam deformative

18
Q

What three things need to be done to confirm an FAI?

A
  • Current signs
  • Clinical signs
  • Imaging confirmation
19
Q

What are subjective signs of an FAI?

A
  • Pain in anterior hip and groin especially in deep hip flexion
  • Clicking, catching, locking, stiffness, loss of ROM
  • Reduced hip flexion and internal rotation
20
Q

What percentage of athletes with groin pain have labral tears?

A

22%

21
Q

What percentage of people with hip pain have labrum tears?

A

55%

22
Q

What is lateral hip pain?

A

Underdeveloped gluteus muscles that cause the leg to adduct - placing more compressive load

23
Q

What are signs of lateral hip pain?

A

-Painful when lying on affected side, pain when sleeping on opposite side without support in legs, pain when sitting in a low chair, pain with running, pain and stiffness in the morning, positive trendelenburg, painful Obers or FADIR and FABER

24
Q

What rehab should you target in patients with lateral hip pain?

A

Glute muscles, TFL

25
Q

What percentage of hamstring injuries are biceps femoris long head?

A

80%

26
Q

What are the two types of hamstring injury mechanisms?

A

Dancers (type II) = over stretch

Sprinters (type I) = high force

27
Q

If Jim suffered a hamstring strain 2 days ago and he can walk fine now pain free. How long would he expect to miss out before returning to play?

A

2 weeks

28
Q

True or false. The more proximal the hamstring injury, the shorter sit out time?

A

False. The more proximal, the more tendon there is and less vasculature for recovery

29
Q

Where is the most common site of quadricep strain?

A

Distal musculotendinous junction of the rectus femoris

30
Q

True or false. Proximal rectus femoris injuries are straightforward rehab?

A

False, distal is.

31
Q

What is the difference between a tendinopathy and an enthesopathy?

A

A tendinopathy relates to the tendon of a muscle and an enthesopathy relates to the tendon joint part which connects to the bone

32
Q

What are typical signs of an adductor strain?

A

Gradual onset of pain which worsens with loading, pain with running or kicking, pain and weakness with groin squeeze test, reduced hip abduction flexibility, pain on palpation and during a sit-up
