Hip Flashcards
(59 cards)
what cartiledge on the acetablium articulates with the femoral head
hyLINE ON THE lunate surface
what is the only part of the femur not covered w articular cartiledge
foeva
explain how you would cue a pt to maximise a stretch at hamstrings
hammy: knee flex and hip exst
so knee exst with ant pelvic tilt (which promotes hip exst),
this stretches the muscle on both sides
what is the angle of inclination (what does it do to joint surface alignment) and normal angle for hip joint
optimizes joint surface alignment
120 degrees
what is coxa vara
when angle of inclination is UNDER 120
what is coxa valga
when angle of inclination is OVER 120
POSITIVE things that come from coxa vara
coxa vara- angle below 125
It increases the moment arm for hip ABD force (which creates a greater ability to increase force)
this may improve joint stability
NEGITIVE things that come from coxa vara
increased bending moment arm increases sheer force across femoral neck and decreases the functional length of hip ABD muscles
this impacts length tension relationship bc it effects the max crossbridge in the ABD muscles
Why is positive and negitive coxa vara effects counterintuitiive and how do you deturmine which one the pt is getting
would depnd on degree of pts coxa vara
bc positivve increases abductor force and negitive decreases it
What are positive effects of coxa valga
decreased bending moment arm which decreases sheer force acorss femoral neck and leads to increased functional length of hip abductor muscle
What are negitive effects of coxa valga
decreased moment arm for hip abd force which makes joint not stable
explain a slipped capital femoral epiphysis in adolescents
coxa vara with fat kid- bc increase in moment arm increases bending moment which increases shear force across femoral neck
what is anterversion vs retroversion what where does hip normally sit?
related to angle of torsion
normal= anterversion
IR/ ER relationship w anteroversion and retreovwrsion at the hip? What would each cause?
excessive anteversion reduces hip joint stability
retroversion may cause impingment
where does where does shoulder usually sit anter or retroversion
retroversion
what is angle of torsion and what is normal
noraml is 15 degrees- in anteversion
explain “In toeing” and why kids do it
acetabular abnormalitys: explain acetabular dysplasis
and does it relate to center edge angle or acetabular anteversion angle?
shallow acetabulum= unstable
relates to center edge angle
acetabular abnormalitys: explain coxa profunda/ acetabular overcoverage
and does it relate to center edge angle or acetabular anteversion angle?
relates to center edge angle
abulum excessivly covers femoral head
acetabular abnormalitys: explain acetabular anteversion
and does it relate to center edge angle or acetabular anteversion angle?
excessive anteversion can lead to instability
acetabular abnormalitys: explain acetabular retroversion
and does it relate to center edge angle or acetabular anteversion angle?
excessive retroversion can lead to over coverage/ impingment
explain cam deformity
impingment of the hip bc extra bone looses the tapering shape
explain pincer deformity
abnormal boney exstention of anterior labral rim of acetabulim
what does frog leg position help pediatrics diagnose and why
hip dysplasia bc it is the position of max congruency
