Hip/Thigh Flashcards
OA of hip
articular cartilage of the femoral head and acetabulum degenerates over time (PRIMARY) or secondarily from disorder of hip during childhood or trauma
hx OA of hip
progressive and gradual onset of anterior thigh or groin pain
typically only pain with activity, but progresses to all the time
PE OA of Hip
limp when walking
decreased AROM and PROM with internal rotation
diagnostic w.u of OA of Hip
loss of joint space and osteophytes on XR
if XR –> MRI
prevention of OA of hip
activity modification
hip girdle strengthening program
sx tx OA of hip
young: femoral head resurfacing with acetabular resurfacing (RSA)
older: total hip replacement or bipolar replacement
rx tx OA of hip
NSAID rx of choice
AVOID narcotic analgesics
hip impingement syndrome
abnormal wearing and contact b/t ball and socket of hip joint
result in increased friction during hip movement
CAM and PINCER lesions
cause of hip impingement syndrome
hip bones do not form normally during childhood yrs
athletic people may experience pain earlier but exercise DOES NOT cause FAI
crossover sign
radiographic finding associated with acetabular retroversion = pincer type FAI in pt with hip pain
arterial blood supply to hip
via obturator and medial and lateral circumflex femoral arteries
osteonecrosis of hip
compromised of arterial blood supply cause death to cells of femoral head
osteonecrosis of hip hx
trauma (dislocation or fracture) or inadequate blood Flow (I.e. sickle cells, alcohol abuse, steroid use, RA, SLE)
20s-40s
gradual onset of dull aching pain in groin, butt, hip
osteonecrosis of hip PE
antalgic gait
tenderness of groin
decreased AROM or PROM in IR of hip
osteonecrosis of hip dx studies
AP of pelvis and AP and Frog leg veins of hip
progressive patchy areas of sclerosis
crescent sign
change in shape of head that collapse of cortical bone
osteonecrosis of hip will look like ___ on XRAY (progression)
normal –> patchy sclerosis –> crescent sign –> change in shape of head and collapse of cortical bone
crescent sign
subchonral fracture of articulate surface
found in osteonecrosis of hip
prevention of osteonecrosis of hip
prior to collapse
avoid steroids, address EtOH use, control other dz
non rx tx osteonecrosis of hip
prior to head collapse: core decompression w/wo graft
after collapse: bipolar hemiarthroplasty (potential head resurfacing)
iliotibial band (ITB)
long tendon of tensor fascia late and gluteus Maximus
snapping hip
ITB band snaps over greater trochanter
what other tendons could cause snapping hip
iliopsoas tendon (snap over pectineal eminence)
labrum of femoral head (can tear and snap with motion)
hx of snapping hip ITB
pt points to greater trochanter area
MC occurs w/walking ration of hip
SNAP when affected side up, rotating leg
iliopsoas hx snapping hip
snap when risking from seated position
labral tears hx snapping hip
early warning side of OA
snap may be sudden when walking and cause patient to grab hold to keep from falling
snapping hip PE
ITB
INSPECT
motion of hip when recreate snap, should feel snap
