Hip Pathology Flashcards
What is snapping hip syndrome also known as
coxa saltans - “dancers hip”
What is snapping hip syndrome
an audible clicking/popping sound heard with movement of the hip
What causes the sound in snapping hip syndrome
the hip tendon and/or muscle sliding across the bone and the tendons become inflamed
What are the three main types of snapping hip syndrome
internal
external
intra-articular
What is internal SHS
occurs when iliopsoas tendon slides over the pelvic bone at the front of the hip joint
also when the quad muscle goes over the ball portion of joint
What is external SHS
occurs when iliotibial band slides over the top of the femur (greater trochanter)
What is intra-articular
caused by articular cartilage injury, acetabular labral tear, broken bone fragments of loose tissue becoming trapped in the ball and socket joint
What type of SHS occurs suddenly from trauma and injury
intra-articular
What is a labral tear
just hit the blue
tear of the labrum (pulls away from socket)
Where is the labrum
ring of cartilage that lines the acetabulum
What can cause a labral tear?
trauma
repetitive motions
structural abnormalities
What are some examples of structural abnormalities that can cause a labral tear?
DDH (developmental dysplasia of hip)
osteoarthritis
rotated pelvis
Lots of images
Look at them
What will we see with ischial bursitis sonographicall
enlarged bursa
mixed echogenicity
hypervascularity in bursa wall
Where might a hamstring tear occur
body of the muscle of musculotendinous junction
