Q

CAM FAI

A

Most common type of FAI.

Night pain: lying on affected side, or innominate rotation.

19
Q

Functional limitations

A

Antalgic gait
Stairs
Sitting or walking for extended time
Pivoting/rotation activities
Impact (running, jumping)

20
Q

A

Prolonged foot flattening
Decreased knee flex at heel strike
Hip hyperext & ER

21
Q

Posture

A

Swayback or Lower Crossed

22
Q

ROM

A

Limited ER/IR, flexion, add/ABD.
Pain at end-range FADIR.
Pain moving from flex to ext.

23
Q

MMT

A

Weak flexion & adduction

24
Q

Pt education: avoid what activities?

A

Crossing legs
Pelvic rotation during STS
Hyperextension during gait or exercise
High impact exercise

25
Q

Optimize biomechanical alignment by controlling…

A

Force from glutes (ext).
Force from iliopsoas (flex).

26
Q

Other PT treatment options

A

PNF
Aquatics (once wounds healed if post-op)

27
Q

Indications for surgery

A

FAI
Conservative tx not improving s/s

28
Q

Contraindications for surgery

A

Significant OA
Uncorrected DDH
Asymptomatic

29
Q

Potential complications during surgery

A

Traction-related injury
Portal placement
Chondral/labral damage
Instability
Inadequate correction of FAI

30
Q

Potential complications post-op

A

Excess fluid
Femoral neck fx
AVN
HO

31
Q

Surgical procedure options

A

Debridement
Repair
Reconstruction

32
Q

Debridement

A

Arthroscopic
Part of labrum removed.
Good for immediate relief but worst long-term outcomes.
Increased risk of OA (like meniscectomy).

33
Q

Repair

A

Arthroscopic
Performed if labral tissue is adequate.
Better outcomes, prevents degeneration & maintains stability.
Looped Repair (for small) or Labral Base Re-Fixation (for large).

34
Q

Reconstruction

A

Open or Arthroscopic
Performed if repair too difficult or previous debridement cannot be repaired.
Graft from ITB, Ligamentum Teres Capitis, Gracilis.

35
Q

Reconstruction: allograft vs autograft, which has better outcomes?

A

Allograft - less prone to fraying/swelling.

36
Q

Reconstruction: open vs arthroscopic, which has better outcomes?

A

Arthro - less scar, less risk of infect, less post-op pain.
