hip conditions Flashcards
what are the s&s of AVN in the hip?
deep, dull hip pain
limp/waddling gait
decreased ROM (particularly internal rotation)
what are the possible causes of AVN?
Pancreatitis/pregnancy
Lupus (SLE)
Alcoholism/atherosclerosis
Steroids
Trauma (eg. femoral neck fracture)
Infections/idiopathic (legg-calve perthes’ disease)
Collagen vascular disease
RA/ radiation therapy
Amyloid(osis)
Gout
Sicke cell disease
what are s&s of trochanteric bursitis?
aching lateral hip pain (may radiate to groin and lateral thigh)
what are the findings in the physical exam for trochanteric bursitis
weak hip flexors
tight ITB
PROM: abduction and external rotation painful
RROM: abduction painful
+ve fabere’s test
what are aggravating factors for trochanteric hip bursitis?
prolonged standing
lying on affected side
climbing stairs
running
what are possible treatment options for trochanteric bursitis?
trigger points of affected muscles
Ober’s PIR
hamstring PIR
US or electrical stimulation options
what are s&s of ischial bursitis?
unilateral pain while seated
pain around ischial tuberosity
what are treatment options for ischial bursitis?
trigger point therapy to ischial tuberosity
hamstring PIR
US or electrical stimulation options
what are the s&s of iliopsoas bursitis?
anterior hip and/or groin pain
worse with leg extension
better with flexion-external rotation (fabere position)
what is hip capsulitis?
adhesion within the hip capsule and surrounding structures
what are s&s of hip capsulitis?
insidious, rapid onset of pain and stiffness
pain worse with activity
decreased ROM (flexion-adduction, rotation+hyperextension the earliest loss)
pain settles over several months but stiffness improves more slowly
what is a disordered hip complex?
complex signs and symptoms of myofascial origin causing anterior hip pain and anterior impingement
what are possible causes of disordered hip complex?
prolonged hip flexion (sitting)
adductor or psoas strain
repetitive hip flexion during gait
what are s&s of disordered hip complex?
pain in groin/buttock
weak hip flexors (difficulty climbing stairs)
what are the most common muscles involved in a disordered hip complex?
iliopsoas
adductors
what is femoral-acetabular impingement?
impingement of the psoas or rectus femoris tendons between the femur and acetabulum
what is type 1 or cam impingement?
change in femoral head shape (bony bumps on superior aspect)
MC in young athletes
may abrese the acetbular cartilage –> riks of labral tear
what is type 2 or pincer impingement?
abnormally deep acetabulum or osteophyte formation
slow onset, intermittent groin pain
decreased and painful hip extension
+ve flexion-adduction test
+ve FAIR test
what is the female athlete triad?
amenorrhea (absence of menstruation)
eating disorder
osteoporosis
what are s&s of a stress fracture of the hip?
pain progressing with activity
focal area of tenderness, erythema, swelling and warmth
which special test can indicate a hip stress fracture?
single leg hop test
what is the imaging of choice for a stress fracture?
x-ray
if normal, bone scan (+ve within 48-72 hours after injury)
who is most at risk for pubic ramus stress fracture?
long distance runners
what are s&s of pubic ramus fracture?
pain in inguinal/perianal/adductor region
cannot bear weight on affected side
antalgic gait
normal hip ROM
very tender around pubic ramus
who is most at risk for a femoral neck stress fracture?
long distance runners
female athletes (female athlete triad)
