Hip Lecture Flashcards
what are some potential causes of hip pain?
articular cartilage
childhood disorders (dysplasia, LCP, epiphysis)
inflammation (bursitis, tendonitis, synovitis)
infection

what are MRIs used for?
best choice for injuries to acetabular labrum and articular cartilage
femoroacetabular impingment
avascular necrosis of femoral head
what are CTs used for?
to distinguish fx in the acetabulum
localizing position of fx fragments

primary choice to detect DDH in neonatal hips
guide aspiration procedure
what are current s/s of hip pathology?
tasks that are challenging
snapping, catching, locking
magnitude of pain
location of pain (C-sign)
referral patterns
t/f: leg length discrepancies always have a great impact on the treatment and pathology
false
what is the clinical presentation of pediatric hip pathology?
assymetry of the thighs or gluteal folds
limitation of hip abd
unequal femoral length
abnormal gait pattern
(+) Ortolani test
(+) Barlow test
what are abnormal gait patterns that may be seen in pediatric hip pathologies?
toe walking
in-toeing gait
out-toeing gait
t/f: the success of the Pavlik harness decreased in pts older than 4 months
true
what does a Pavlik harness do?
holds the hip at 90-100 degrees of flexion
what are some long term effects of DDH?
gait dysfxn
hip pain
DJD of hip
early onset THA
what is avascular necrosis (Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease)?
damage to vascular supply that may occur at birth
trauma resulting in ischemia
what % of avascular necrosis progresses to lead to collapse of the femoral head?
70-80%
what population is avascular necrosis most common in?
boys aged 3-13 yo (average 5-7 yo)
what are the s/s of avascular necrosis (Legg-Calve-Perthes disease)?
pain in the groin, buttock, proximal thigh
pain exacerbated by weight bearing
decreased ROM
antalgic gait
what are some interventions for avascular necrosis (Legg-Calve-Perthes disease)?
emphasis on containment of the femoral head and avoiding collapse
Scottish Rite brace to hold the femur in abd w/the ability to flex
surgical intervention (hip resurfacing vs THA)
what is slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE)?
the femoral head slips down and back off the femoral neck
