COMPS:HIP Flashcards
(158 cards)
Pt Reported Outcomes:
Lower Extremity Functional Scale
LEFS
- GENERAL LE measure—–activity based
- **no s/s or impairments
- scores range 0-80 w/ HIGHER SCORES==BETTER FUNCTION
Pt Reported Outcomes
Western Ontario and MacMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index
WOMAC
- commonly used in OA outcomes research and care
- HIP and KNEE
- Subscales
- Pain 0-20
- Stiffness 0-8
- Phys Function 0-68
- HIGHER scores on WOMAC === WORSE pain, stiff, functional limits
Pt Reported Outcomes
Hip Injury and OA Scale
HOOS
- 5 Subscales:
-
Pain: P 0-40
- Symptoms: S 0-20
- Act limits Daily Living: ADL 0-68
- Function in sport and rec.: SP 0-16
- Hip related QOL: QoL 0-16
-
Pain: P 0-40
- LOWER scores on HOOS === WORSE pain, stiff, functional limits
Pt Reported Outcomes:
Hip Outcome Score
HOS
- ADL and Sports Scales
- Scores range 0-100 w/ HIGHER SCORES ===BETTER function
Pt Reported Outcomes
Harris Hip Function Scale
- popular
- Good for pre/post op comparisons
- Emphasizes Pain and Function
Minimal ROM req’s for Basic Function:
Gait, Sitting, Bed mobility, stairs
- 90deg FLEX
- Normal==120
- 20deg ABD
- Normal==45
- 0deg IR
- Normal==45
- 20deg ER
- Normal==45-60
Problem Solve:
- Pt recently had hip spica cast removed as he was recovering from a femoral fx. Current ROM:
- Flexion=105
- ABD= 20
- IR and ER= 5
*
- When performing PROM ex’s, which motion should be emphasized for your pt if the goal is to facilitate basic function???
- ER
- As long as FLEX reamins limtd to 105, what functional acts will be difficult?
- compensation w/ trunk flexion
Unloading of Hip using ADs
- Walker OR 2 Ax Crutches—-WB restrictions!!!
- unloads up to 100% BW
- GOOD/THE choice for NWB, TTWB, PWB up to 50% BW
- One crutch unloads up to 50% of BW
- GOOD choice for PWB IF cleared for 50% or more BW
- Cane unloads up to 40% BW
- GOOD choice for PWB if cleared for 60% or more BW
Pathomechanics of Hip Jt Injury
Motion Deficiency
What develops?
- Femoral Acetabular Impinge. (FAI)
- Cam
- Pincer
Pathomechs of Hip Jt Injury
Excessive and Uncontrolled Motion
What develops?
- Structural Instability
- Dysplasia
-
Capsular Insuff.
- Global
- Acquired
Pathomechanics of Hip Jt Injury
Osseous Overloads
What develops?
- Traumatic
- Cumulative (ex. Stress Fx)
-
Predisposed
- insufficiency
-
Microtrauma
- overuse
-
Predisposed
MANY roads lead to…..
OA
Explain OA….
- OA
- End-pt for MANY hip patho’s
- Emerging evidence for FAI
- Better estab’d relationship to dysplastic hip
- Fxs linked to EARLIER OA dev.

Hip Fx and Rule of Thirds
1/3 Recover
1/3 Recover BUT reduced mobility
1/3 Die
Hip Fx is one of leading causes of death in older adults.
Why?
- Fx results in comorbid condition that results in Death.
-
Cycle:
- Hip Fx–> Immob. & INC sedentary time–> PNA (or other med. comps)–> Death
Hip Fxs– Prox. Femur
Risk Factors for Falls in Elderly:
- Slower walking speed (modifiable)
- Hx of falls
- Sarcopenia
- Poor balance (modifiable)
- Cognitive decline
- Poor vision
- Osteoporosis
- Household obstacles such as rugs, power cords, clutter (modifiable)
Hip Fxs – Prox. Femur
Hip Hemiarthroplasty (1/2)
Indications:
- Acute displaced INTRAcapsular prox. femur fx
- frail elderly
- Failed int. fixation of INTRAcapsular fx’s
- osteonecrosis of femoral head
- ALSO used for SEVERE DJD of femoral head w/ healthy acetabulum
Hip Fx’s – Prox. Femur
Hip Hemiarthroplasty
uni vs bipolar, Sx approach, Rehab
-
Unipolar
- stem/head is 1 piece
-
Bipolar
- SOME mvmt b/w stem and head components
-
Sx Approach
-
POSTEROLATERAL == MOST COMMON!!!
- Cemented OR Non-cemented
-
POSTEROLATERAL == MOST COMMON!!!
-
Rehab???
- mimics rehab for THA
Hip Fx’s – Prox Femur
ORIF
Indications???
- Displaced OR non-displaced INTRAcapsular fem. neck fx
- Fx w/ disloc’s of femoral head
- INTERtrochanteric fx’s
- SUBtrochanteric fx’s
Hip Fxs—Prox Femur
ORIF
Traction procedure
- Pin THRU distal femur + traction system IN hospital bed to provide traction to leg to help w/ reduction of fx
- typ followed by sx

Hip Fx’s—Prox Femur
ORIF
In Situ Fixation
- Percutaneous nail thru skin from greater troch to femoral head—- NO cutting thru mm or capsule
- Non-displaced fx’s
- Impacted femoral neck fx’s
- ***Fewer precautions vs. THA or Hemi-arthro

Hip Fx’s —Prox Femur
ORIF
Dynamic (MVMT) extramedullary fixation w/ a sliding (compression) hip screw and lateral compression plate
- allows for sliding b/w plate and screw—> creates compression across fx w/ WB
- mainly for stable intertrochanteric fx’s
- MAY be combo’d w/ an osteotomy for comminuted fx’s
Hip Fxs–Prox Femur
ORIF
Static (NO MVMT) interlocking intramedullary nail fixation OR sliding hip screw coupled w/ an intramedullary nail
For SUBtrochanteric fx *******
Hip Fx’s –Prox Femur
ORIF
Bone force and healing
- NO bone force
- UNLIKELY to heal
- Bone req’s FORCE to HEAL !!!
