Q

What muscle powers single leg bridging?

A
  • middle and posterior fibers of the glut med of the working hip
  • middle fibers offset the adduction of the adductor magnus
  • anterior fibers of glut med and offsetting ER potentioal of glut max and ER of gravity

Q

Where is pain with osteoarthritis of the hip?

A
  • groin, thigh, buttocks, knee
  • stapping and sharp OR dull ache
  • hio often stiff, esp after getting out of bed, or sitting for a long time
  • pain swelling, tenderness in the hip joint
  • a sound or feeling of bone against bone
  • inability to move the hip to perform routine activities

Q

What is a THA?

A
  • cementless THA in a patient with osteoarthritis
  • ceramic femoral head with a titanium stem and a polyethylene socket fixed into the pelvis by a screw
  • can be cement or biologic fixation via bone growth into implanted device

Q

What is hip resurfacing?

A
  • a surgeon trims damage from the natural bone ball at the top of the thighbone
  • resurfaced with a smooth metal covering
  • the surgeon also lines the natural bone socket of the hip with a metal lining or shell

Q

What are the two main causes of hip impingement (FAI)?

A
  • deformity of the ball at the top of the femur (cam impingement)
  • a deformity of the socket (pincer)

Q

What are key symptoms of impongement in the hip?

A
  • pain in the hip or groin and a sensation of catching or sharpness during movement
  • often consistent dull ache
  • prolonged sitting or exercise bothersome

Q

What happens with the acetabular labrum during injury?

A
  • compressive, tensile, and/or shearing forces vs labrum
  • poor healing
  • rotational, repetitive, near end-range motions
  • trauma
  • often insidious

Q

What is a common sign of a fx of the hip?

A
  • shortening and ER of the leg
17
Q

What should we know about usage of a cane and the forces?

A

counterclockwise forces (cane and hip abd) = clockwise forces (BW)

18
Q

What does the can do if it is in the opposite hand?

A

reduces compressive forces

19
Q

What does the cane also reduce? (aside from compressive forces)

A
  • JRF by reducing activation of the hip abductors @ 36%
20
Q

What is not idea with a compromised hip?

A

carry any ext loads

21
Q

What are the components of the distal femur?

A
  • Lateral and medial condyles
  • Lateral and medial epicondyles (ligament attachment sites)
  • Intercondylar notch (passageway for cruciate ligs)
  • Trochlear groove (condyles join) (PF joint – concave side to side, convex front to back)
  • Lateral – more pronounced/ proximal and anterior/steeper slope and medial facets (slopes of groove)
  • Lateral and medial grooves – in femoral cartilage (anterior edge of tibia aligned with these in full ext)
22
Q

What transfers the majority of load in the knee joint?

23
Q

What is special about the proximal end of the tibia?

A

larger, slightly concave

24
Q

What is special about the lateral end of the tibia?

A

flat to slightly convex

25
What are the elements of the patella?
- Largest sesamoid bone - Base – curved, superior - Apex – pointed – inferior, relaxed standing just proximal; to joint line - Anterior surface - convex - Posterior articular surface, 4-5mm articular cartilage, articulates with trochlear groove – PF joint - Vertical ridge - rounded - Lateral (larger matches lateral trochlear facet), medial, and “odd” facets
26
What are some alignment considerations of the femur?
slight medial slant due to angle of inclination
27
What is the normal knee angle in the frontal plane?
170-175 degrees in frontal plane – normal = genu valgum
28
What is genu valgum?
< 170 excessive genu valgum “knock-knee”
29
What is genu varum?
>180 genu varum “bow-leg”
