25
where is a common place for femoral hernia?
femoral triangle
26
what forms the borders of the popliteal fossa?
semimembranosus, biceps femoris, gastrocnemius medial and lateral heads, plantaris
27
what does the popliteal fossa contain?
popliteal artery, popliteal vein, tibial nerve, common fibular nerve
28
which collateral ligament is biggest at the knee joint?
medial
29
how is the anterior cruciate ligament injured?
foot planted, valgus twist with impact, knee straight or slightly bent
30
how is the posterior cruciate ligament injured?
knee flexed, frontal impact or hyperextension
31
how is the lateral collateral ligament injured?
varus force
32
how is the medial collateral ligament injured?
valgus force
33
which cruciate ligament can you see from the front?
anterior
34
which part of the patella is most superior?
base
35
which muscles are more likely to cause groin strain?
those crossing 2 joints
36
what are the grades of groin strain?
1: tear a few muscle fibres, light pain and minimal impairment 2: damage to significant number of fibres, moderate loss of function 3: complete rupture (avulsion) of muscle, severe functional loss
37
describe the pathology of groin strain
haemorhage and muscle fibre disruption, inflammatory reaction (pain andswelling), replacement of the inflammatory tissue with fibrous tissue
38
what imagin is used for groin strains?
US or MRI MRI: acute use T2 weighted as shows water (white area=high signal=blood or odema), T1 weighted for chronic to see anatomy
39
give some complications of muscle strain.
muscle fibrosis, myositis ossificans (muscle turns to bone), weakness
40
which tendons in the lower limb are commonly injured and where?
adductors, rectus abdominus, rectus femoris, hamstrings | origin (hamstrings), musculotendinous junction
41
what are the symptoms of snapping hip?
greater trochanteric pain: radiates to buttock and thigh maybe audible with or without pain external snapping hip: iliotibial band internal snapping hip: ilipsoas (when going from flexion to external rotation and internal rotation)
42
what causes snapping hip and what imaging is used for it?
involves both tendons (ITB or iliopsoas) and bursa (trochanteric or iliopsoas). they become thickened and inflammed T2 weighted MRI
43
what is osteitis pubis and its symptoms
inflammation not infection, may be erosion of joint, may be due to shear of the joint due to increased movement painful symphysis pubis
44
what imagin is used for osteitis pubis?
XR hanging leg: look for movement symphysis pubis | MRI: T2 shows oedema
45
what are the risk factors for osteitis pubis?
pregnancy (progesterone makes ligaments loser), urologic infections, obesity
46
what are the symptoms and ix of gluteal tendinopathy and how is it more common in?
pain on outside of hip (could also be bursitis or tightening ITB) gluteus medius and minimus MRI older overweight recreational athletes
47
what imaging is needed for stress fractures?
XR often normal | need CT or MRI (oedema arouns stress fracture in T2 weighted)
48
how does rectus femoris avulsion injury commonly occur and its sx?
children aged 14-19 years, bone is weaker than tendon and muscle, groin pain occurs when go to kick ball hard but miss and hit floor, sudden deceleration of foot, muscle contracts so violantly it pulls off AIIS can't straight leg raise
49
how does hamstring avulsion occur and its symptosm and signs?
"water skiiers injury" sudden pull leads to forced flexion of hip and acute knee extension with (adolescents) or without (older) fracture ischial tuberosity can't flex knee against gravity, lump 10-15cm below ischial tuberosity where hamstrong bunced up
50
what can cause deep gluteal syndrome?
ischial bursitis hamstring tendinopathy gluteal sciatic pain: irritation of the sciatic nerve but local structures. compression, traction by adhesion and fibrosis
51
what imagin is used for deep gluteal syndrome
MRI
52
what causes avascular necrosis of the hip?
trauma (femoral neck fracture), thrombosis, alcohol, driving, diving, radiation, steroids, sickle cell anaemia, idiopathic fragile blood supply as retrograde
53
what imaging is used for avascular necrosis of the hip?
XR: collapsed, cystic MRI: can catch earlier
54
give a sx avascular necrosis of the hip.
groin pain
55
what are the symptoms of a labral tear
groin pain, clicking/snapping, pain on flexion and internal rotation
56
what does femoroacetabular impingement cause and how?
labrum damage pincer: abnormal acetabulum, spread further around femoral head leadding to impingement cam: more common, build up of bone on femoral neck, pushes into acetabular labrum causing tears and pain can have both combined
57
how is acetabular labrum injury treated?
cant just treat labral tear, also need to do osteoplasty to remove excess bone or will tear again
58
what are the symptoms of meralgia paraesthetica?
tingling, numbness and burning pain in outer thigh
59
what causes meralgia paraesthetica?
compression of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. nerve branches from near asis
60
what features of the XR are characteristic of osteoarthhritis?
loss of join space osteophytes (extra pieces of bone) subchondral sclerosis (whiteness underneath) subchondral cysts
61
how is osteoarthritis characterised?
mild, moderate, severe | based on how much joint space is left
62
what are the most common causes of groin pain
muscle strains, avulsion injuries, stress fractures, impingement
63
what are some less common causes of groin pain sthat still need to be considered?
L5/S1 facet joint degeneratio hernias endometriosis
