Pelvis Hip and Thigh Injuries Flashcards
what is a leg-calve-perthes
AVN of the femoral head
MOI of leg-calve perthes
unknown etiology
history of leg-calve-perthes
-usually children ages 4-10 with 4:1 males, 20% bio -pain in groin, thigh or knee -insidious onset usually with a limp
what will be found on physical examination of a leg-calve-perthes
- no internal or external hip rotation
- pain with motion
- hip or knee/thigh pain
what type of gait will be seen with a leg-calve-perthes
Trendelenburg gait
radiographs of a leg-calve-perthes will show what
-increased radio density (sclerotic changes)
what is the treatment of leg-calves perthes
- conservative with rest, crutches, PT
- containment of head in acetabulum with casting or bracing
- surgery in severe cases of Ped. Ortho
what is the history of a slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE)
- children usually male ages 10-14, rapidly growing -bilateral 50% of the time
- insidious onset with hip, groin, thigh, knee pain
- obese male, delayed development usually
what will be found on physical exam of a slipped capital femoral epiphysis
- spasms, synovitis, reduced ROM
- observe external rotation with hip flexion
what is the treatment for a slipped capital femoral epiphysis
surgical reduction
- major difference btwn LCP
what history is common with Trochanteric Bursitis
- tight IT band
- runner with trochanteric pain during flexion and extension (increased with coxa varum)
what is the MOI of Trochanteric Bursitis
- commonly the result of overuse rather than direct trauma
- pain may radiate to the groin or in approximately 1/3 of patients, pain will radiate into the lateral thigh
what is evident upon PE of trochanteric bursitis
- while lying down on the unaffected side, leg extended have pt flex hip
- produces an aching pain over the lateral hip that is exacerbated by activity such as prolonged standing lying on the ipsilateral side, stair climbing, or running
- pain is reproduced w/ external rotation and abduction and by resisted abduction
- ITB tightness may be present
what test is positive in a trochanteric bursitis
ober test
what is the ober test
- the patient lies in the decubitus position with the affected leg up
- the examiner lowers the knee to the table to assess for IT band tightness
what is the treatment of Trochanteric Bursitis
- modify activity: do not flex/extend hip and less varus tension
- IT band stretching
- steroid injection
- evaluate for other causes if conservative tx fails
Paulska states that bursitis is due to
repetitive activity or acute trauma, may affect the trochanteric, ischial or iliopectineal bursar
who does avulsion hip fractures occur in
-rapidly growing adolescent males -mm. stronger than growth plates
injury to the iliac crest is what type of fracture
avulsion fracture
what muscles originate off the ASIS
TFL
Sartorius
what muscles originate off the AIIS
rectus femoris
what type of contracture can cause an avulsion fracture
ballistic loading with eccentric contracture
what is the cause/diagnosis of avulsion hip fracture
muscle strain or contusion
what is the treatment of avulsion hip fractures
- PRICE -crutch ambulation
- stretch and strengthening after 2 weeks
- return to activity with return of strength and function
