Hip Flashcards
(82 cards)
Prevalence in osteoporosis vs osteopenia
both W>M over 50. Especially osteoporosis
Osteoporosis recommendations
-Screening for rfs >50
-BMD testing for females >65, males >70 (younger post-menopausal women w/ 1 major or 2 minor rfs)
Hip fx stats, progs
-Mostly sustained by people >65
-Survivors have shortened life expectancy
+ prog: sx in 48hrs
- prog: males, >86, >2 comorbs, anemia, mini mental test <6/10
Femur fx prognosis and categories
Prog: displaced vs non, comminution, vascular integrity, reduction, fixation.
-high risk thrombosis/embolism
-intertrochanteric: between trochanters
-subtrochanteric: below trochanters
monitor for AVN and non-union
compression fx more stable than tension fx
Hx with hip fx
-older adult
-trauma vs spont.
sxs hip fx
where pain is
severe groin and anterior thigh pain (more likely than lateral pain)
Hip fx examination
-shortening of LE
-limited/painful squat
-painful/limited AROM/PROM all directions
-pain/weakness with strength testing
+fulcrum and PPT
Hip fx surgical procedures
arthroplasty
external fixation (rare, temp.)
ORIF- full WB 8-12 wks postop
intramedullary fixation
AVN of the femoral head
basically what it is
-Progressive ischemia w/ secondary bone cell death
-Collapsing of bone, leads to degenerative arthropathy
-managed surgically
Hx AVN
30-50s
Rfs: trauma, corticosteroid use, alcys, coagulation disorders, HLD, smoking, autoimmune disease, etc
AVN pain location
deep groin, buttock, and knee pain
AVN examination
-Limited squat
-limited/painful AROM and PROM (IR especially)
-pain/weakness w/ resistive testing
AVN prognostic indicators
Extent of lesion
Location
Bone marrow edema presence
Osteoarthopathy stats
> 65 w/ hip or knee OA
radiography: joint space loss, osteophytes, sclerosis
-symp. vs asymp.
Osteoarthropathy hx
-insidious
-hx of trauma
-family hx
-obesity
-hypermobility
-joint shape abnormality
-physical activity levels
->50yo
Osteoarthropathy sxs
-dull and achy most, but sharp buttock, groin, thigh, and knee pain when aggravated
-C-sign
-hip stiffness (sitting/inactivity)
-difficulty donning pants, socks, shoes
-Stair ambulation issues
Osteoarthropathy examination
-limited hip AROM/PROM, painful at end range (especially IR, flexion, ABD)
-+Scower
+/- weakness/pain w/ resistive testing (bc we avoid end range with MMT)
joint hypomobility
CPR for hip OA
- report squatting as an aggravating activity
- lateral pain w/ active hip flexion
- passive hip IR <=25
- pain with active hip ext
- +scower w/ ADD
(having >=4 is best predictor)
Labral tear correlated with
degenerative oa
developmental hip dysplasia
aspherical femoral head
slipped capital epiphysis
legg-calve-perthes disease
hip trauma
athletics with repetitive pivoting/flexion
FAI
Most common sxs of labral tear
-insidious onset
-groin pain mostly
-activity related pain
-night pain
-locking, pain in walking and pivoting
-limping slight
-requires banister with stairs
FAI 2 types
Cam: increased size of femoral head, irregular junction with neck
-leads to anteriosuperior labral and cartilage damage
Pincer: increased protrusion of acetabular rim
most common is a mixture
FAI hx
hockey players, golfers, dancers, football and soccer players
FAI sxs
sharp, deep anterior pain
pain/limit with deep squat (deep flexion motions)
cutting, lateral movements
hip IR/ ABD motions
-may have painful ER motions with extensive lesions
FAI examination
Cam especially
Cam: hip flex/ABD/IR ROM painful/limited (may have bony end feel)
+ FABER and FADDIR
MRA/MRI to measure angle and identify lesions
