Non- arthritic hip joint pain Flashcards
What are the best diagnostic criteria to rule in/ out a specific hip condition?
Combo of imaging and clinical fundings- no consensus on diagnostic criteria
What is the normal angle of inclination?
120-125
What is normal anteversion of the demur?
14-18
Name the ligaments supporting the hip, as well as other passive structures that help provide its stability
Iliofemoral, ischiofemoral, pubofemoral
Labrum and joint capsule
Ligamentum Teres
Describe the musculatures role in hip stabilization
Glute med- primary dynamic stabilizer
Iliopsoas- anterior stability
Hip rotators- more critical when labrum is torn
Describe femoroacetabular impingement
Abnormal contact between the femoral head/ neck and the acetabular margin
Has been associated with labral and chondral damage
Describe the 3 classifications of FAI
Cam- result of asphericity of the femoral head, often related to SCFE or protrusion of head/ neck junction
Pincer- result of acetabular abnormalities (protrusia/ retroversion)
Combination- Cam and pincer
What can FAI contribute to?
Labral lesions, cartilage damage, secondary hip joint OA
Describe the gender differences for cam/ pincer lesions
Cam- 2X prevalence in males
Pincer- middle aged active women
Describe hip instability and its causes
Extraphysiological hip motion that causes pain
Traumatic, nontraumatic, or due to bony/ soft tissue abnormality (shallow acetabulum or excessive anteversion, neck shaft > 140)
Can lead to labral tears
Differentiate between anteversion and retroversion
Anteversion- increased femoral IR, limited ER
Retroversion- increased ER, decreased IR
Both can increase risk for OA/ labral injury
What is the function of the labrum?
deepens the hip socket, decreases forces transmitted to the articular cartilage
Describe the MOI for labral tears
- Traumatic- rapid twisting, pivoting, falling motions, forceful rotation with hyperextension
- Insidious
- Due to anatomical variants
What are the 4 classifications for labral tears?
- Radial flap- Most common, free margin of labrum is disrupted
- Radial fibrillated- fraying of the free margin
- Abnormally mobile- partially detached from labral surface
- Longitudinal peripheral- tear along acetabular labral junction
Describe attachment points for the ligamentum teres
Edges of the acetabular notch and transverse acetabular ligament and attaches at the fovea capitus of the femoral head
