Hip Flashcards
(66 cards)
Greater Trochanter Pain Syndrome tests
- Palpation
- 30 sec single leg stance ( Trendelenburg gait)
- External de-rotation test
- Hip lag sign
- FADDER / -(R)
- Ultrasound
Tests that assess the glutes
- External De-rotation test
- Hip lag
- FADDER/ - (R)
Tests that assess hamstrings
- 90-90 test
- Bent knee stretch test
- Puranen-Oreva
Typical presentation of GTPS
- Lateral Hip Pain
- Onset acute/ gradual
- Pain on activity
- Dull, achy, sharp or lancating pain
- Lying on affected side will increase pain
- Hip flexion-extension, internal-external rotation will increase pain
- Stiffness getting out of a chair, especially if hip flexion is >90°
Pathologies that affect the lateral hip
- GTPS
- Snapping Hip
- Greater trochanteric bursitis
- Gluteal muscle tear/or avulsion
- Iliac crest apophysis avulsion
- IT band syndrome
- FAI
Pathologies that affect the posterior hip
- Piriformis syndrome
- Ischio-femoral impingment
- SIJ dysfunction
- Lumbar radiculpathy
- Vascular claudication
- Ischial apophysis avulsion
- Hamstring muscle strain/avulsion
List signs/symptoms that are associated with hip OA?
- Over 45
- Morning Stiffness
- Anterior hip/ groin pain
- L3 dermatomal pain distribution
- ROMs discrepancies
- Pain over 3 months
3 findings associated with presence of Hip OA:
- Family History
- Personal history of Knee OA
- Pain climbing stairs/ walking down slopes
A positive HEER test
Anterior hip, apprehesion or reproduction of symptoms.
Which test is used as an indicative of anterior instability or anterior labral pathology?
HEER
Hyperextesion, external rotation
A positive Log roll indicates?
indicates instability, mainly anterior.
A log roll test is Ve+ when?
the affected leg externally rotates >45. and theres no mechanical endpoint
FABER test
Diagnose osteoarthritis clinically without investigations if a person:
- 45 or over
- has activity-related joint pain
- either no morning joint-related stiffness or morning stiffness that lasts no longer than 30 minutes.
Holistic/conservative approach to osteoarthritis assessment and management
- Access to appropriate information
- Activity and exercise
- Interventions to achieve weight loss if the person is overweight or obese
Differential diagnosis for anterior hip pathology
OA
FAI
Hip labral tear
Iliopsoas bursitis (snapping)
femoral stress fracture
Oesteonecrosis
meralgia paresthetica
athletic pubalgia
loose bodies/chondral lesions
legg-calve perthes disease
slipping captial femoral epiphysis
transiet synovitis
septic arthritis
Hip point
Apophysealavulsion injuries (ASIS;AIIS)
The trochanteric abductors consist of
GMed and GMin, and the ITB tensioners consist of the TFL, VL, and UGMax
**
Orthopaedic tests for hip OA
ROM
Scour test
Long axis distraction
Log Roll Test
Red flags to rule out for acute hip pain
Tumour, infection, septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, fracture, AVN
Red flags to rule out for chronic hip pain
Inguinal pathology
Adductor pathology
Pubalgia
Treatment for FAI
- Avoid aggravating activities
- Muscles’ rehabilitation
- NSAID
- Surgical intervention is often warranted
The acetabular labrum is supporting by which ligaments?
- Pubofemoral (inferiorly)
- Ischiofemoral (posteriorly)
- Iliofemoral (anteriorly)
The most common injury pattern for labral tears
Hip hyperextension with external rotation
Who are at grater risk of developing labral tears?
Athletes participating in sports involving repetitive end-range movements into hyperflexion, hyperextension, and abduction
