10/25 - Hip Intra Articular Pathology Flashcards
(121 cards)
1
Q
what are the 3 main intra-articular conditions seen
A
nonarthritic
- femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS)
- microinstability
osteoarthritis
2
Q
what are the 3 roles of the labrum
A
- ext of acetabulum (enhanced joint stability)
- suction seal
- shock absorption
3
Q
what is FAIS
A
misshapen joint leads to breakdown of intra-articular structures
4
Q
what is a FAI-CAM lesion and what is another word for that
A
nonspherical femoral head (ie change in bone shape) rotating inside acetabulum
aka slipped capital femoral epiphysis
5
Q
what population is FAI-CAM common in
A
peds
6
Q
what is a slipped capital femoral epiphysis
A
aka FAI-CAM
extra bone growth at head/neck junction of femur
- can then impinge labrum there and then damage the labrum
7
Q
what motion causes pain in CAM lesion and why
A
pain w deeper flexion or when leg crosses over body
- that’s when bony pathology engages w labrum
8
Q
what is the alpha angle for a CAM deformity
A
> 60deg
9
Q
what is FAI - PINCER
A
prominent anterolateral rim of acetabulum
- overgrowth of ant edge
- retroversion of acetabulum
10
Q
describe the lateral center edge angle in normal hip vs dysplasia vs FAI Pincer
A
normal: 25-39deg
dysplasia <25deg
- under coverage
FAI pincer >40deg
- over coverage
11
Q
what does a smaller lateral center edge angle indicate
A
smaller the angle, more shallow the acetabulum and greater risk of sublux/dislocation
12
Q
what sign occurs when there is retroversion of the acetabulum
A
crossover sign
13
Q
what is a crossover sign
A
there is extra coverage w ant portion of acetabulum crosses over posterior
normal: ant should be deeper, post have more coverage
14
Q
what are 3 categories of FAIS pathomechanics which lead to symptomatic bony impingement
A
- abnormal bony morphology
- CAM, Pincer, mixed - susceptible populations and activities
- prior dysplasia, SCFE, LCP - abnormal hip/pelvic kinematics
- activity w inc hip flexion (squats, drop jumps)
15
Q
what is a “C” sign indicative of
A
deep hip pain w intra-articular path
could also be microinstability (extra-articular)
16
Q
what are 4 characteristics of pain in FAIS
A

cumulative effect of abnormal wear
18
Q
what are mechanical sx of FAIS
A
intermittent sharp pain
clicking, catching, locking
19
Q
what is a common exam finding of FAIS
A
limited hip IR
- bilateral morphology
- motion may be symmetrical
20
Q
if someone has a bony abnormality w FAIS, what will this likely look like upon examination

bilateral
- will usually have limitations w ROM (IR and possibly flex)
21
Q

A
glut med and max weakness
22
Q
what ms length may be limited in FAIS
A
hip flexor length
23
Q
why would someone w FAIS have sx when hip flex is resisted
A
hip flex close to ant portion of capsule and labrum
- if damage/irritation to that portion of ant hip capsule, will have irritation w resisted hip flex
24
Q

FABER***
Scour
FADIR
log roll
25

33
why is the FADIR an appropriate test to use in FAIS
symptomatic position
34
why are intra-articular injections used
common dx use (intra vs extra)
- does it make sx better?
if helps - inflammation was in intra-articular joint, help to tolerate ADLs and PT
if does nothing - think extra-articular path
35
what are the 3 components of non-operative treatment of FAIS
1. modify irritating positions and activity
2. maximize mobility of joint
3. hip/core/lumbopelvic strength
36
what are irritating positions/activities to modify in FAIS
limit ant pelvic tilt
- if tight hip flex and/or weak gluts
adjust seat hight to avoid inc hip flex
- deeper flex = more engagement
limit squat depth
limit incline or stair running
- inc hip flex
37
what directions should joint mobility be maximized in FAIS
into capsular restrictions post and inf
(if post capsular restriction, femur will shift away to ant)
38
how can PT prognosis change depending on how they present with FAIS
good PT prognosis:
- more capsular restriction, weakness, hip joint mobility limitations + bony abnormality
- modifiable factors w PT
poor PT prognosis:
- good strength, mobility + bony abnormality
- more likely to need surgery

why is microinstability under-diagnosed
subtle
not as obvious as hip dysplasia or sublux
sx for microinstability are similar to hypomobility
43
what is location of most microinstability in the hip and why

hip flexors can be used to create dynamic stability
- likely d/t instability/microinstability
usually not d/t tendinitis
49
