Q

Hip Dislocations: Management

A
  • Stabilize and transport to ER
  • Need closed reduction within 24 hours
  • Post reduction, limb is held in traction 1-2 weeks

Q

Hip Stress Fractures

Study These Flashcards
A

-Seen mostly in distance runners with femoral neck and pubic ramus(abs and adductor pain) (women>men)
S&S: groin pain, aching in thigh with activity, hard for SLS
Tx: rest, min weight bearing 2-5 monte, rehab

20
Q

Femoral Fracture

Study These Flashcards
A

MOI: direct trauma or indirect, such as landing on a leg in an extended and rotated position
S&S: sudden severe pain, loss of function, direct and indirect tenderness
-Could lead to AVN
Tx: fixation intramedullary rod

21
Q

Trochanteric Bursitis

Study These Flashcards
A

MOI: inflammation of the bursa or gluteus medius from overuse, muscle imbalance, LLD, SLE(lupus) and RA
S&S: lateral hip pain that may refer distally, point tender
Tests: Asymmetrical leg length, weak glute med, tight TFL
Rx: RICE acutely, find cause and fix

22
Q

Iliopectineal Bursitis

Study These Flashcards
A

MOI: Excessive compression during hip flexion(long distance runners)
S&S: deep anterior hip pain, pain w/ deep palpation(pectineus), pain with resisted hip flexion
-Negative FADIR’s

23
Q

Snapping Hip Syndrome

Study These Flashcards
A

Anterior: SLR = iliopectineal bursitis or Labral tears
-palpate pectineal area for bursitis, FABERs/FADIRs for labral tears
Lateral: Proximal ITB friction w/ or w/out pain
-With pain = greater troch bursitis

24
Q

Hip Osteoarthritis

Study These Flashcards
A

S&S:
-deep joint aching
-Sore in morning; better throughout day; worse at night
-could refer to knee
Tests: Scour test, radiograph
Management:
-Stretch tight muscles, light cardio, joint moves to decompress, open chain exercises

25
Total Hip Replacement
``` Avoid: -Flexion greater than 90 -Hip adduction -Hip extension with IR Complications: -INFECTION -DVT= blood clot -DVT in calf leads to embolus ```
26
Sports Hernia
``` -Tear in muscular tendons of hip adductors, RA, and Obliques at pubic ramus = could lead to surgery because of low healing rate of tendons S&S: inguinal pain with palpation Tests: resisted oblique MMT -Resisted adductor test -Kicking w/ flexion/adduction -MRI ```
27
Self-Locked (CPP) of SI joints
- Full posterior innominate rotation; lifting in a squat | - Sacral Nutation during active flexion and extension of the spine
28
Pelvic girdle in Open pack position
- Spine neutral | - supine, standing, sitting upright, and during gait cycle
29
Form Closure
-The ability to transfer loads through the PG, while keeping the joint surfaces stable Includes: 1. Ligaments 2. Bony and joint integrity
30
Force Closure
-Optimal muscle function provides the PG with dynamic stability
31
Local muscle Force Closure
- Pelvic floor muscles - Diaphragm - TA - Lumbo-sacral multifidi
32
Global muscle Force closure
- Opposite Lats and flute max - Abdominal Obliques and adductors - Gluteus medius in weight bearing
33
Posterior Oblique Sling
-Left lats and right glute max
34
Anterior Oblique Sling
-External Oblique and opposite adductors
35
The Lateral Sling
-Stance leg glute med and adductors and opposite side quadratus Lumborum
36
Deep Posterior Sling
- Biceps femoris coupled with the erector spine through the sacrotuberous ligament - Contraction of the biceps femoris pulls the sacrotuberous taut, assisting in stabilization of the sacroiliac joint
37
Emotional-Awareness
- Chronic pelvic pain may be tied to chronic stress and negative lift experiences - May result in hypertonic muscle firing - Over-activationt of pelvic muscles = overly compressed joint surfaces = pain
38
Hyper-Abduction of hip
-Separation force of the pubic Symphysis
39
Hyper-flexion of hip
- Posterior ilial rotation | - Stressed sacrotuberous and ilio-lumbar ligaments
40
Hyper-Extension of hip
- Anterior ilial rotation | - Stressed Short and long SI ligaments
41
Hyper ER of hip
-Possible damage to anterior SI ligament and Pubic symphysis separation Caused by: - Weak lateral sling - Hormonal= relaxin - Systemic hypermobility - Restricted hip motion may compensate at SI joint by becoming hypermobile - Beighton scale (Ehlers danlos syndrome-extreme weak collagen)
42
Active SLR sign
SI joint hyper mobility | -0.9 SPIN and SNOUT
43
Hypomobile SI joint
- + March and flare test - Local ligament tenderness - Referred pain in butt/thigh - + pain provocation (squish test) - ASIS or PSIS asymmetry - Bilateral hip ROM Asymmetry - Negative hyper mobility tests (ASLR and posterior ilial translation, stork standing)
44
Hypermobile Pubic Symphysis
- MOI= childbirth or forced Hip abduction or ER - systemic hypermobility: beighton over grade 5 - Hormonal influences - Poor tolerance to sitting, standing, walking - + pain over pubic tubercles - + pain/spasm of adductors or RA - + ASIS gapping test - + FABER test
45
Hypermobile SI joint
- Hx of systemic hyper mobility - Hormonal - SIJ pain or referred to butt/thigh - Difficult holding trendelenberg - + squish test, ASIS gapping and or FABER's - + ASLR - + Posterior ilial translation test - BIlateral hip ROM asymmetry
46
Prolotherapy
- The intraligamentous or intratendinous injection at a fibro-osseous junction (SI or PS) of a solution that induces a temporary inflammatory reaction - This causes an influx of fibroblasts that synthesize collagen at the injection site leading to the formation of new ligament and tendon tissue
47
Candidates of Prolotherapy
- Patients with disabling joint pain and instability that has lasted greater than 6 months - Significant joint instability
