Q

what is the clinical significance of the femur head blood supply ?

A

the primary supply enters via capsule
in fractures the intracapsular supply is disrupted
extra capsular supply is maintained

35-50
80% bilateral
3% multifocal

17
Q

what are traumatic risk factors for avascular necrosis ?

A

irradiation
fracture
dislocation
iatrogenic

18
Q

what are systemic risk factors for avascular necrosis ?

A
idiopathic
hypercoaguable states
steroids
haematological - sickle cell, lymphoma, leukaemia
Caisson's disease
alcoholism
19
Q

what are symptoms of avascular necrosis ?

A

insidious onset of groin pain

pain with stairs, walking uphill, impact activities

20
Q

what is seen on exam of avascular necrosis ?

A

largely normal

may replicate early arthritis - reduced ROM, stiff joint

21
Q

how is avascular necrosis investigated ?

A

Xray

MRI

22
Q

what is the non-operative treatment of avascular necrosis ?

A
reduce weight bearing
NSAIDs
bisphosphonates
anticoagulants
physio - keep moving
23
Q

what is the surgical treatment of avascular necrosis ?

A

restore blood supply - core decompression, vascularised graft
move lesion away from weight bearing are
total hip replacement

24
Q

what is femoroacetabular impingement FAI

A

impingement of femoral neck against anterior edge of acetabulum
younger patients, can develop secondary arthritis

25
Q

what are the different types of FAI ?

A

cam lesion - young athletic males, excess bone on head of femur
pincer - young females, abnormal acetabulum overhangs

26
Q

what are associated injuries with FAI ?

A

labral degeneration and tears
cartilage damage and flap tears
secondary OA

27
Q

what is the presentation of FAI ?

A

groin pain - worse with flexion

mechanical symptoms - block to movement, pain with certain movements squatting lunging etc

28
Q

what is seen on exam of FAI ?

A

reduced flexion and internal rotation

positive FADIR - flexion adduction and internal rotation

29
Q

what are the examinations for FAI ?

A

Xray

MRI

30
Q

what is the non-operative treatment for FAI ?

A

activity modulation
NSAIDs
physio

31
Q

what is the operative treatment for FAI ?

A

arthroscopy - shave down defect, deal with tears

open - resection, periacetabular osteotomy, hip arthroplasty (replacement)

32
Q

diagnostic injection

38
Q

how do you treat labral tears ?

A

non-op - NSAIDs, rest, physio, steroid injection
