hip lecture Flashcards
coxa valga
- angle of the femoral head larger then 140
- leads to knee varus
- decrease the moment of the movement arm into ABD
- increase stress along the joint surface
coxa vera
- angle of the femoral head less then 106
- lead to knee valgus
- more likely to fx
- increase downward shear forces of the femoral head
- increase moment of the movement arm into ABD
anteversion
anterior orientation of the femoral head leading to in toeing
retroversion
posterior orientation of the femoral head leading to out toeing
MOI of avascular necrosis of the femoral head
variable areas of dead trabecular done due to decreased blood flow
Subjective of avascular necrosis of the femoral head
- pain in the groin
- “throbbing and deep”
- intermittent and gradual onset
Objective of avascular necrosis of the femoral head
- lateral lean in gait
- painful ROM with IR
- pain with SLR
tx and px for avascular necrosis of the femoral head
- restore ROM
- more success in early stage (will need surgical intervention in later stage)
MOI for legg-clave-perthes disease
idiopathic osteonecrosis of the femoral head due to being developed with a lack of blood flow. More common in boys
subjective for legg-clave-perthes disease
- kids 4-10 years old
- vague ache in the groin that radiates medially
- muscle spasm
- usually unilateral
objective for legg-clave-perthes disease
- limp and dragging of the leg
- atrophy of the thigh
- positive transelenburg
- out-toeing
- decrease in abd and IR
- might have an hip flexion contracture
px and tx for legg-clave-perthes disease
conservative: try to manage and remodel tissue to restore ROM
MOI for Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE)
displacement of the femoral head through the physis that occurs during an adolescent growth spirt
subjective for slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE)
- increased pain with activity
- Hx of groin and medial thigh pain
- no Hx of trauma
- mild weakness in leg
what is the objective for slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE)
- limped gait (out toeing)
- decreased ROM with IR, ABD, and flexion
- passive flexion will often be accompanied by ER
- decreased IR in flexion
- involved limb is shorter
what is the tx and px of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE)
- symptom relief
- restore ROM
- surgical fixation
stress fx of the femoral neck MOI
- accelerated bone remodeling in response to repeated stress
- usually military recruits and athletes
- older people: superior fx (tension fx)
- younger people: inferior fx (compression fx)
subjective of a stress fx to the femoral neck
- onset of sudden hip pain
- pain in deep thigh
- increased with wt bearing
- night pain
objective of stress fx to the femoral neck
- usually negative physcial exam
- maybe empty end feel in PROM
- resisted SLR
- Auscultatory pateller pubic percussion
- fulcrum test
tx and px of stress fx to the femoral neck
- treated surgically
- once pain free begin to wt bear
hamstring strain MOI
strain or rupture of one or more of the hamstring muscles. usually tears during eccentric loading
hamstring strain Subjective
- immediate pain
- might hear a pop
- posterior thigh pain worsened with knee flexion
