Q

what are some good questions to ask on a subjective examine about the patients pain?

A

“How would you rate your pain on a scale of 1-10”

“Is it deep or superficial”

“Give me a discription of your pain, is it deep and achy or numb and tingling etc.”

What are two common sights in the hip the have internal snapping

What position causes this

iliofemoral ligament (connects ilium and femur)

Especially when going into extension from 45 degrees of flexion - espically w/ hip abduction and ER

NOTE: since the tendons run on the inside this position would essentially be tightening up these tendons/ligaments. Its going to be tight tight tight then snap

On the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) what is the MCID (minimal clinical important difference)

So if they said 6/10 is there pain oirginally and now its 4/10 its a statistically significant difference (because the MCID also works on questionaires)

NOTE: getting a statistically significant change could be a good goal to set

What are we listening for / diagnose

A

Pubic symphysis

tap on knee listen to pubic symphysis

Listening for a dullniss (not crisp) / side to side differences. Diagnosis hip fractures

72
Q

How is the resisted straight leg raise test set up?

What are we looking to find w/ this test. How do we know if we’ve found this?

Whats another possibility from this test

A

pt in long sitting on a table w/ arms behind them. They lift their leg up (keeping it staright utilizing hip flexors) while you push down.

Looking to find labral pain. We know if we’ve found this because their symptoms will be clicking or catching in the anterior hip. We are essnentially stressing the iliopsoas tendon which pulls on the labrum creating that clicking

This test can also yield pain in the lower quarter abdomin. We just want to know that we are thinking that it is something else

73
Q

A Resisted straight Leg Raise Test is a differential diagnose to find what two potential things

A

Labral issue (anterior / groin pain w/ clicking)

Some viserial lower quarter issue in the abdomin

positive = pain

KNOW: Corticosteroid use causes avascular necrosis

A
77
Q

Does avascular necrosis get better or worse w/ weight bearing?

A

1) Groin
2) Thigh
3) Medial knee

79
Q

What age group typically gets Legg-Calve-Perthes?

A

Pediatric (3-12)

80
Q

What motion does Legg-Calve-Perthes affect the most?

A

Internal rotation (I think because its where the femoral head has the most contact w/ the acetabulum)

81
Q

What motion is most affected by SCFE?

A

IR

82
Q

Patients w/ SCFE normally stand in what position when weight bearing?

A

ER (remember - IR is painful)

83
Q

A patient comes in with the inability to urinate and has sudden back pain. What are we thinking they have?

A

Cauda equina syndrome

84
Q

What is central spinal stenosis?

A

When the central canal shrinks and compresses the spinal cord

85
Q

What two non traumatic things typicall cause cauda equina syndrome?

What traumatic thing causes it

A

Central spinal stenosis / Prolapsed lumbar disc

Fall on butt could cause this

86
Q

Should we fix posture

A

If its not broke dont fix it

Posture does not always relate to pain

87
Q

Is posture always related to pain?

A

No

88
Q

What is genu valgum

A

Knees going into valgus (going in)

89
Q

Which sex typically has a wider pelvis

A
90
Q

Wide hips causes genu valgus which causes

A

Trochanteric bursitis (because the hip is essnetiallly being pulled at the head laterally –> pushing on the bursa which flares it up)

Notice how the hips push out onto the bursa at the hip

91
Q

A patient arrives at your clinic complaining of hip pain. You note excessive genu valgum. Where would you expect this pain to be and what is the most likely diagnosis?

A

Pain is expected on the lateral thigh due to troachanteric bursitis

92
Q

What side should the cane be on? (affected or non affected)

A

should be on the non affected side (opposite the affected)

93
Q

What is the leg length discrepency measurement?

A

ASIS –> medial malleolus

94
Q

NOTE: pattella facing in could indicate a femoral shaft rotation or genuvalgum

A
95
Q

What kind of arthritis is obesity related to?

A

OA

96
Q

What does the iliposas do (2)

A

Hip flexion (not weight bearing)

Trunk flexion (weight bearing)

97
Q

What motion might a tight ilipsoas make you do?

A

Diviation of spine to same side (look at a picture - if the muscle is tight its naturally going to make you devivate to that side)

98
Q

The patient has a naturally shorter right leg than left and you notice that leg is in some IR and adduction. You also notice a more prominent greater trochanter. What is are guess at what they have?

A

Traumatic posterior hip dislocation

99
Q

What are we thinking if the patient comes in with a limb shorted and is in external rotation?

A

Intertrochanteric fracture

100
Q

Do most individuals have some leg length discrepency?

If so, what is an abnormal one? (test)

A

Yes most people have some leg length discrepency - however its nor abnormal unless its greater than 1.5CM

101
Q

Why is it hard to detect swelling in the hip?

A

Because most people have significant adipose tissue / muscle there

102
Q

A patient comes in with a leg length discrepency. Which way is there pelvis dropped to

Does this cause genu valgum or varum?

A

Pelvis dropped toward affected side

Causes genu valgum (hip essentially collapses down causing knee to invert in)

Also causes flat foot

103
Q

KNOW: You can check for leg length discrepencys by having them hooklying in supine

A
104
Q

What is the angle of inclination?

A

Angle between the neck of the femur and the shaft of them femur
(Think of it like how much the head of the femur is inclined)

105
Q

What is coxa valga?

A

Think of it being at the level of the coccyx

ITs an increased angle of inclination (140+)

106
Q

Would cova valga or vara cause a shorter leg?

A

Vara = shorter leg because the angle of inclination is smaller

107
Q

What is a normal inclination angle?

A

125

108
Q

an angle of inclination less than ____ causes coxa vara

A

105

109
Q

An angle of inclination greater than ____ causes coxa valga

A

140 (subtract 15 to get normal then 15 less for vara)

110
Q

What is femoral anteversion?

A

Femoral head / neck being turned further with respect to the shaft. The head is essentially coming off the shaft in a more anterior position creating a larger angle with respect to the greater trochanter.

111
Q

Does antiversion or retroversion cause a decrease in ER

A

Antiversion

112
Q

What movement is limited by anti version? Why?

A

ER
Because that femoral head is essentially already put in some IR (because the litteraly head is shifted, the foot / leg isnt) - so when you try to do it you can’t get as far

113
Q

Why does antiversion cause a shorter leg

A

Because it starts you in internal rotation.

When you’re in internal rotation you knee naturally drips in creating that shorter leg

114
Q

Whats more common, antiversion or retroversion problems?

A

antiversion

115
Q

What does Craiges test measure?

A

Amount of avilable external for internal rotation (typically used to retro / antiversion patients)

116
Q

Why does retroversion give you a longer leg

A

because it naturally starts you in excessive external rotation

That external rotation puts your leg in varus which gives you the appearance of having a taller leg

117
Q

What creates a shorter leg. Anteversion or retroversion?

A

anteversion

118
Q

What is the comparable sign?

A

The pain that they came in with

119
Q

what is resisted provocation

A

Pre-curser to MMT

120
Q

What does the Thomas test do?

A

Lets you differenitiate between rec fem or iliposoas causing the issue

121
Q

What specific muscle is faulty if the patient has a trendelenburg sign?

A

Glute med
(abduction)

122
Q
A
123
Q

If the pain in the leg is further from the hamstring tendon what does that mean for the amount of time it takes them to get back?

A

Longer time

124
Q

If I compress your femoral head and it causes pain what are a few diagnosis I could be thinking

A

avascular necoris
RA

125
Q

what is the cross over sign associated w/

Associated w/ FAI
