Hip Flashcards
hip disorders 0-2 yo
- developmental dysplasia of the hip
- septic arthritis
hip disorders 2-12 yo
- acute transient synovitis
- leg- calve-perthes
hip disorders 8-17 yo
SCFE
hip disorders 5-30 yo
osteoid osteoma (femoral neck)
normal torsion
- 8-15
- 40 degrees at birth
- normal at 16 years old
anteversion
torsion >15
in-toeing, excessive IR
retroversion
torsion <8
toe out, excessive ER
craigs test
- tests verison of hip
- prone, knee in 90 flex
- rotation hip IR and ER, find greater troch at parallel to table, measure ankle of leg
developmental dysplasia
- 1/100 births
- 6:1 girls:boys
- 80% unilateral, 20% bilateral
- mechanical: position in the womb
- physiological: estrogen and relaxin in utero
- environmental: cultural positioning of infants
- limited and asymmetric abduction
- asymmetric thigh folds
- positive galeazzi sign (unequal knee height in supine hips to 90)
- positive ortolani sign(relocating dislocated hip)
- telescoping
developmental dysplasia treatment
birth to 9 months
- abduction diapers
- pavlik harness
9 months or older
- abduction orthosis (double diaper)
- surgical intervention
septic arthritis
- acute, rapidly progressing infection
- <2 years old
- pyogenic bacteria
- irritability
- hip held in open packed position
- fever, sweating, chills, tachycardia
- loss of appetite
treatment
- aspiration, IV antibiotics
acute transient synovitis
- inflammation of synovial lining
- self limiting
- often preceded by upper respiratory infection
- up to 5% later develop AVN
- unknown cause
Features:
- hip pain, limp, refuse to walk
- decreased hip ROM >IR
- fever possible (<101)
- radiographs will be normal
Management
- relative rest
- PWB crutches
- radiographs
Legg-calve Perthes
- AVN of femoral head
- 3-12 most common (9-12)
- males >females
- whites > blacks
- 95% unilateral
legg-calve perthes presention
- hip and knee pain at night
- ROM decreased abduction and ER; flexion contracture common
- abnormal growth patterns: forearm and hands short, feet short
- psoatic limp: worse late in day
- often very active
- correlated with ADD
legg- calve perthes treatment
- reduce hip irritability
- restore and maintain hip mobility
- regain a spherical femoral head
- prevent ball from extruding or collapsing
SCFE
- posterior and inferior displacement of femoral head
- 2:1 boys:girls
- 10-16 yo most common
- 50% are bilateral
- obese
- black > white
SCFE presentation
- gradual hip pain and limp
- medial sided knee pain
- hip extension and IR limited
- passive flexion presents with abd/ER
- 3-12 months before diagnosis
treatment is ORIF
OA subjectively
- older patient >60
- groin pain, postero/lateral hip, anterior thigh pain
- commonly refers pain to the knee
- high frequency associated with Lspine DJD
two clusters of OA
(SN of 8%, SP 75%)
- hip pain
- IR <15
- pain with IR
- morning stiffness >60 min
- age over 50
- IR<15
- flexion <115
- stiffness >60 min
- pain in hip
labral tears
- complaint of pain, clicking, locking, catching, instability, or giving away
- anterior groin pain in 96-100%
- MOI: hip external rotation +extension
EXAM
- FABER SN .88
- femroal acetabular impingement test
- imaging gold standard is arthroscopy
AVN
- 4th decade of life
- nonspecific leg pain
- steroid usage, renal disease, alcoholism, sickle cell disease, gout, previous trauma
EXAM
- hip AROM WNL
- radiographs findings do not occur until 3 months
- MRI highly specific/sensitive
iliopsoas bursitis
Subjective
- anterior hip pain
- worse with hip extension
- overuse
- may complain of snapping
Exam
- present in hip flexion and ER for relief
- pain with passive hip extension
- pain with resisted hip flexion
- bursa tender to palpation
- (+) snapping hip maneuver
- (+) supine heel raise
femoral neck stress fracture
Subjective
- stress fx: 10% of all injuries seen in sports
- femur is 4th most common site of fracture
- overuse vs insufficiency
- females > males
- groin, thigh, or knee pain
- often occurs after change in activity
- risk factors: female, amenorrhea >6months, family history of OP, smoker, eating disorder
EXAM
- pain at extreme ROM
- pain with weight bearing
- positive hop test (70% accurate)
- positive heel tap
- positive FABER, scour, quadrant
- positive fulcrum
- bone scan 100% sensitive
osteitis pubis
- gradual onset of pain in pubic region
- following bladder or prostate surgery
- long distance runners, weightlifters, fencers, soccer players, football players
EXAM
- tenderness along pubis
- PROM hip adductors limited w pain
- RROM hip adductors weak with pain
