Femoro-acetabular Impingement (FAI)
Common Symptoms
(non arthritic hip joint pain)
- Most common cause of OA
- Athletic/middle aged/young
-Pincer Impingement = acetabular rim hits the head/neck of femur with full flexion - Cam impingement= abnormal femoral head alignment into acetabulum with flexion (pistol grip deformity)
- Groin pain with sports
Femoro-acetabular Impingement (FAI)
Exam Findings
- Aggravated with prolonged sitting/walking
- (+) F-AD-IR
- (+) Hip scour
Femoro-acetabular Impingement (FAI)
Interventions
- rest
- activity mod
- NSAIDs
- surgery if severe
CAM Impingement
Abnormal femoral head alignment into acetabulum with flexion
- pistol grip deformity
Pincer Impingement
Acetabular rim hits the head/neck of femur with full flexion
Labral tears
Common Symptoms
- Labral Detachment in 88% >30 yrs
- 86% anterior quadrant
- associated chondral lesion
- MOI: repetitive pivoting, twisting, trauma , extension + LR w/FH anterior
- Associated with FAI, capsular laxity, dysplasia trauma
Labral Tears Exam Findings
- Increased pain with flexion
- May have sharp and dull groin pain/anterior thigh
- CLICKING/CATCHING/GIVING WAY
- Restricted ROM
- (+) FADIR
Labral Tears Interventions
Arthroscopy
Trochanteric Bursitis
Common symptoms
- Lateral hip pain
- involved bursa (between greater trochanter and mm): sub glute max, sub glute med, sub glute min
- woman more common than men (ages 40-60 years)
- Increased risk with arthritis, fibromyalgia, leg length discrepancy
- Most common soft tissue pathology of hip
- MOI= Fall on lateral hip, friction of ITB over GT during flexion/extension, poor pelvic control
Trochanteric Bursitis
Exam Findings
- Aching pain
- tenderness over greater trochanter
1 of the following:
- pain at extreme of FABER
- Pain with resisted ABD
- Pseudo radiculopathy (lateral thigh)
Leg length
Trochanteric Bursitis
Interventions
- address causative factors
- Correct mm imbalance and deficiencies: eccentric mm strength, glutes, pelvic floor, abdominals
- Muscle length deficits: ITB and hip flexors
- positional faults or leg length discrepancy
- walking program
- manual therapy
- avoid aggravating factors
- NSAIDS/corticosteroid injections
Hip Tendinitis/osis
Common Symptoms
- Lateral pain
- tendinosis more common
MOI= overuse, collagen degeneration due to: - inadequate pelvic control
- increased load of SLS
- Chicken and egg with bursitis vs tendinosis
Iliopsoas:
- most common in runners
Hip Tendonitis/osis
Exam Findings
- Tenderness over Greater Trochanter
-(+) Trendelenburg - Trendelenburg gait /compensated
-(+) FABER - leg length - true leg length or weber Barstow
- Hip abduction weakness with pain
Iliopsoas:
- complains of snapping in hip
- Pain with eccentric loading from flexion into extension
- TTP at femoral triangle and psoas belly
Hip Tendinitis/osis
Interventions
- address causative factors
- Correct muscle imbalance and deficiencies: eccentric muscle strength, glutes, pelvic floor, abdominals
- Muscle length deficits: ITB and hip flexors
- Lumbopelvic stabilization (iliopsoas)
- positional faults or leg length discrepancy
- walking program
- manual therapy
- Avoid aggravating factors
- NSAIDS/corticosteroid injections
Iliotibial Band Syndrome
Common Symptoms
MOI= results from friction of ITB on sub gluteal medial bursa
- excessive femoral IR
- Leg length discrepancy
- Fall onto lateral hip
Iliotibial Band Syndrome
Exam Findings
- Similar to GT bursitis
- “Snapping” at hip into flexion from extension
- (+) Ober’s
- Also check: Thomas/ Ely test
Snapping Hip (Coxa Sultans)
Common symptoms
- Begin –> symptomatic in athletes
- Intra articular snapping–> loose bodies, labral tear
- Extra articular snapping–> imbalance
- internal- iliopsoas over pelvic rim
- external- ITB or glute max over GT
Snapping Hip ( coxa sultans)
Exam findings
Audible snap of hip with movement mainly extension
Snapping Hip ( coxa sultans)
Interventions
- NSAIDs and ice if symptomatic ( short term)
Long Term:
- correct malalignments
- Correct muscle imbalances
Release of iliopsoas and proximal ITB (surgery)
Hip Meralgia Paresthetica
Common symptoms
- irritation of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve
MOI= Direct trauma or compression at ASIS
Hip Meralgia Paresthetica
