Pelvis Hip & Femur Flashcards
What findings & type of joint disease is demonstrated here?
- Non-uniform loss of joint space on left (at superior femoral-acetabular joint space)
- Subchondral sclerosis & subchondral cysts
- Osteophyte at the acetabular margin
Degenerative arthritis (OA or DJD)
(Recommend for possible ortho referral)
Degenerative joint disease of the hip is termed ____
Malum coxa senilis
T/F: There is a good correlation between radiographic features of DJD in the hip & clinical picture
F
Non-uniform joint loss is common in the hip, specfically MC where
Superior femoral-acetabular joint space
Collar type ____ around femoral head/neck junction is a common radiographic feature in DJD of hip
Osteophytes
______ aka cortical thickening along medial femoral neck is a common radiographic feature in DJD of hip
Buttressing
A common radiographic feature in DJD of hip is ____ which demonstrates one medial joint space >2mm vs. the opposite side
A nonspecific sign
Waldenstrom’s sign
What findings are demonstrated here in this case of DJD of the hip?
Subchondral sclerosis & collar osteophyte around femoral neck
Also buttressing
What findings are demonstrated here?
- Bilateral & symmetric distribution
- Decreased joint space at axial portion of femoral-acetabular joint. decreases medial & superior → uniform loss of joint space
- Periarticular osteopenia (yellow)
Infammatory disease process (Rhuematoid Arthritis)
Protrusio acetabuli in the hip is MC caused bilaterally by what disease process
RA
Bilateral, symmetric narrowing of axial joint space in the hip is associated with what disease process?
RA
What disease process is likely the cause of the findings here?
RA
DDX = bone softening diseases such as osteomalacia, padgets
What findings are demonstrated here?
- Normal subchondral bone, normal joint spacing at the hip
- Ill-defined, irregular margins at pubic symphysis
- Monoarticular inflammatory arthritis → septic arthritis (until proven otherwise) or osteitis pubis
- Recommend medical referral, CBC w/ blood culture to r/o septic arthritis
(Osteitis pubis common in young athletes, women post-childbirth)
15 y.o male
What type of disease process is demonstrated here & what is the likely cause?
Inflammatory arthritis in kids → juvenile idiopathic arthritis or hemophilia
_____ (malunion/nonunion) of pelvic fractures is uncommon; _____ (malunion/nonunion) is common
Nonunion; Malunion
Stable or unstable fracture
Stable
Stable or unstable fracture
Unstable
What kind of stable fracture
Duyerney fraction
What kind of unstable fracture
Straddle fx
What kind of unstable fracture
Malgaigne fx
What kind of unstable fracture
Sprung pelvis
What kind of unstable fracture
Bucket handle fx
What hip pathology is demonstrated here?
AIIS avulsion fx on the left (normal growth plate on right)
What findings are outlined here in an adolescent patient
What findings are seen here?
- Extra bone on femur = post-traumatic heterotopic ossification
- Disruption of arcuate line of sacrum on left side (pink)
- Disruption of cortex in superior & inferior pubic ramus (yellow)
- Unstable pelvic fx → Malgaigne fx (fx thru sup & inf pubic rami w/ fx or dislocation posteriorly around SI jt)
- Refer for CT for further eval
What type of pelvic fx is demonstrated here?
