Q

The Long Posterior (Dorsal) Ligament of the SIJ restricts what movements?

A
  • Anterior Rotation of the innominate

- Extension (Counternutation) of the Sacrum

22
Q

What is the function of the Sacrospinous ligament?

A
  • Assisting the Sacrotuberous ligament in stabilizing the SIJ
23
Q

What is the role of the Gluteus Maximus in SIJ Function?

A
  • Contraction of the Gluteus Maximus add stiffness (stability) to the SIJ
24
Q

What is the role of the Gemelli, Quadratus Femoris, and Obtuator Internus about the Pelvis and SIJ?

A
  • Likely more important as postural stabilizers than as prime movers
25
Q

Describe Ilial Flares

A
  • Movement defined by position of ASIS
  • Inflare- ASIS moves medially and PSIS moves laterally, coupled with internal rotation
  • Outflare- Opposite, coupled with external rotation
26
Q

Describe Sacral Flexion and Extension

A
  • Sacral Flexion (Nutation)- Superior portion of Sacrum moves Anteriorly
  • Sacral Extension (Counternutation)- Superior portion of Sacrum moves posteriorly
27
Q

Describe Ilial Rotation

A
  • Anterior Rotation of Ilia- ASIS Moves Anteriorly

- Posterior Rotation- ASIS moves Posteriorly

28
Q

What is the Fortin Finger Test?

A
  • When asked to localize pain, patient points with one finger near the PSIS
  • Positive for SIJ Pathology
29
Q

Describe the Iliofemoral Ligament and Explain its role

A
  • Two Branches
  • Pars Inferioris- Constrains Hip Extension
  • Pars Superioris- Constrains Hip Extension, Adduction, and External Rotation
30
Q

What motions does the Pubofemoral Ligament Constrain Primarily?

A
  • Extension, ABduction, External Rotation
31
Q

What is the role of the Ischiofemoral Ligament?

A
  • Reinforce the CFJ Capsule
32
Q

When pain experienced at night and pain is temporarily relieved by Aspirin, what is a possible cause?

A
  • Osteoid Osteoma
33
Q

Swelling in the groin suggests what?

A
  • Inguinal Hernia
  • Lymphangitis
  • Other Serious Pathology
34
Q

When a younger patient presents with nontraumatic onset of painful capsular pattern loss, what is a possible cause?

A
  • Legg Calve Perthes
  • SCFE
  • Seek further testing
35
Q

Describe SCFE

A
  • Femoral Head Epiphysis slides off the femoral neck
  • affects males > females
  • Age 13-15
  • Groin pain in weight bearing, possible Anterior knee pain
36
Q

Describe Legg Calve Perthes

A
  • Aseptic bone necrosis of the femoral head
  • Related to imperfect vascularization and is self limiting
  • Ages 3-10
  • Presents with groin pain or anterior knee pain, antalgic gait
  • Frog Leg views helpful
  • Possible Drehmann Sign
37
Q

What is a Drehmann Sign?

A
  • Due to slippage of femoral head

- Patient has increased muscle guarding, limited IR, Increase ER, Obligator ABduction and ER during passive flexion

38
Q

What is the Clinical Triad for presentation of Loose Body in the Coxafemoral Joint (CFJ)?

A
  • Non Capsular Pattern of Limitation
  • Pathological End Feel and Sharp Shooting Pain
  • Feeling of giving way in the Lower Extremity that immediately follows the pain
39
Q

Describe Snapping Hip Syndrome or “Coxa Saltans”

A
  • Classified as either Intra Articular and Extra Articular
  • Intra - Snapping off the iliopsoas tendon over the iliopectineal eminence
  • Extra- Related to thickening of the iliotibial tract at the greater trochanter
40
Q

What is Hamstring Syndrome?

A
  • Nerve Entrapment and potential irritation of the epineurium of the nerve as it passes around the ischial tuberosity
  • preceded by episodic hamstring injury or low back pain
  • Associated with active individuals
  • pain localized to ischial tuberosity
41
Q

What is the Clinical Triad for Hamstring Syndrome?

A
  • Increased pain with sitting
  • Pain with resisted knee flexion with the hip flexed to 90 and knee extended
  • Pain then worsened when ankle and foot dorsiflexion added
  • Additionally, resisted knee flexion with hip extended is pain free
42
Q

Describe Piriformiis Syndrome

A
  • Can begin with blunt trauma to buttock or overuse activities that place sciatic nerve under tension, such as running
  • Increased pain in buttock with walking while sitting may decrease pain
43
Q

Describe Greater Trochanteric Bursitis

A
  • Lateral Buttock (hip) Pain
  • Confirm diagnosis with palpation
  • Treat with RICE, NSAIDS, Tape the Glut Med off the bursa
  • Occasionally treated with injection
44
Q

Describe Ischiogluteal Bursitis

A
  • Buttock pain that is centrally located

- Usuallly in response to increased sitting, blunt trauma, or Glut Med Tear

45
Q

What may be the cause of sharp burning pain in the buttock?

A
  • Radiculopathy
  • Pudendal Nerve Entrapment - elicited by activities such as bicycling with narrow seat
  • Treatment should be to minimize compression of the nerve (wider seat)
46
Q

Describe Pubic Symphysis Insability pain

A
  • Worsened with Resisted ADduction, especially with hip at 45 deg flexion
  • made better with use of Stabilization belt around pelvic ring
47
Q
