internal rotation and extension most obviously lost function, abduction, external rotation
common hip impairments
functional range of motion loss
internal rotation and extension most, then abduction
decreased extensibility
iliopsoas, external rotators (piriformis), external rotator's( piriformis), it flexors and hamstrings
manual muscle testing loss
extension
abduction
external rotation
a functional problem – foot pronated, flexed.hip, adducted, IR
medial collapse
History Is Key
what is information you need to gather?
age of patient
where it hurts
how did you hurt it?
how often
previous treatments
signs and symptoms
hip pain usually hurts.... Where?
generally in front flexion crease, groin area
what are some things to watch for an exam
getting in and out of the chair
taking shoes on and off
city hip impingement test
figure 4
leg length
palpation
hip impingement test
hip up to 90/90, internal rotation, -will generally produce pain if you have hip problems
hip and back referral pains
some common joints that refer pain to the hip
SI joint, pain at iliac crest, greater trochanter bursitis
Hip Outcome Measures
what are some examples of hip outcomes?
Harris hip for THA
Woomac or HOOS = inbetween scales
External Snapping Hip
symptoms
IT band and anterior glut max slides over greater trochanter
lie posterior with extension and slides anterior with flexion
diagnosis
history
physical exam
dynamic US to see the snapping
progression
IT band friction syndome leads to bursitis
Labral Tears
symptoms
pain
catching
snapping
activity related pain
etiology
history of trauma
idiopathic
hyper mobile
femoral acetabular impingement
exam findings
positive hip impingement sign
test
MRI
Arthrogram
intervention
hip arthroscopic or surgical hip dislocation
rehab
nonweightbearing with crutches for five days
cardiovascular exercise with arm bike
proprioceptive training of lower extremity after five days
full Pass the range of motion with in two weeks
after five weeks gentle running
full training after 10 weeks
hypermobility
predisposes to labral micro trauma, degeneration or separation
could be secondary to underlying soft tissue disorder – Marfans Sydrome, or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
ballet or gymnastics could could induce
Femoral Acetabular Impingement
three types
femoral head abnormally shaped
acetabulum covers too much
both femoral head misshape and excessive acetabulum coverage
CAM type- FH abdnormall shaped
caused by shear forces of the neck portion of FH against acetabulum
anterior superior cartilage loss over the femoral head and dome
Pincer type lesion
repetitive contact stresses of normal femoral head against abnormal acetabular rim
results and degeneration, ossification, and caring of the anterior superior portion of the labrum and posterior inferior contre-coup pattern of cartilage loss
Acetabular labrum fails first causing degeneration and eventual ossification – worsening over coverage
predisposing positions
acetabular protrusion
acetabular retroversion
malunion of acetabular fx
Groin Strain
characteristics
muscle tendon junction of abductor longus and gracilis, most common cause of groin pain
differential diagnosis
sports hernia
osteoarthritis of the hip
labral tears
recovery
must have full pain-free range of motion and 70% of straight to return to activity – 4 to 6 weeks
intervention
active functional exercise> Modalities
Osteitis Pubis (common)
characteristics
repetitive shearing forces on pubic synthesis causing pain could be from decreased internal rotation or SI joint mobility causing forces across pubic synthesis
who does this happen to?
usually in soccer players
ARF
rugby
recovery
self-limiting... 9 months to a year to resolve
Trochanter Bursitis
symptoms
pain over and superior to greater trochanter that may radiate laterally to knee
etiology
trauma
overuse
often contralateral of bad knee
exam findings
side lying
positive Ober's test
most have tight abductors and TFL
pseudo-Trendelenburg
want to evaluate in three planes
treatment
NSAIDs
exercise
stretching
corticosteroid injections
rarely surgery
other hip bursitis
iliopectineal bursitis
iliopsoas
anterior hip difficult to treat, often after THA
Ischiogluteal bursitis: Tailor or Weaver bottom..US/Phono/ionto, padding
Hip Pointer
symptoms
after injury patient flexes forward and toward sided pain
etiology
low to the top of iliac crest
TLF is usually impacted and hematoma results
treatment
ice
NSAIDs
light stretching into directions opposite pain position
preventative padding
prognosis
return to activity one week if mild
return to activity six weeks is severe
Piriformis Syndrome
symptoms
pain in the butt, posterior leg,can radiate to calf
differential diagnosis
L5/S1 radiculopathy
cause
entrapment of sciatic nerve in piriformis – difficult to diagnose
treatment
stretch piriformis
exercise internal rotator, flexors, abductors
light stretching of extension, abduction, external rotation
neutral tension techniques
Nerve Entrapments
obturator
pelvic fracture
hernia to obturator formen
medial groin pain
adductor weakness
lateral femoral cutaneous
meralgia parasthetica
obesity
tight belts
trauma
physical therapy/injections
no motor weakness
just sensory
sciatic nerve
postsurgical
Fibular
tibial, or both; fubular drop foot
ilionguinal
after hernia repair, appendectomy, or by trauma and excessive ab training; numbness/pain in testicle or labia
Avulsion Injuries
etiology
usually for stretching and flexibility... Sprinters, hurdlers, adolescent athletes
eccentric muscle contraction
different spots
ASIS
AIIS
lesser trochanter
greater trochanter
ASIS = Sartorius
AIIS = practice for Morris
lesser trochanter = iliopsoas
greater trochanter = gluteus medius or piriformis
treatment
protected weight-bearing
avoid high forces that place stresses at site of injury
surgery is significantly displaced
shut down and treat like fracture; six – eight weeks
Myositis Ossification's
characteristics
bone forming within muscles
treatment
no well-defined protocol
aggressive stretching/exercising can accelerate, so you want to be gradual and less aggressive when stretching
intervention
surgery or radiation may be necessary if condition progresses
Metastatic Disease
symptoms
pain with fabulation, rest, and night pain
point tender
etiology
history of tumor
common metastasis with lung, breast, prostate cancers
testing
X-Ray, bone scan, MRI
other
may be referred by PCPs as "pain, evaluate and treat"
hip degenerative joint disease
goals of treatment
will eventually require surgery so want to get them strong, flexible, and increase cardiovascular fitness, can't cure them
treatment
increase range of motion and manual muscle strength >>> Especially with extension, internal rotation, and abduction
balance and gait training
traction at hip
endurance and cardiovascular wellness
address functional activities – need outcome measurements
surgical hip dislocation
risks
avascular necrosis
greater trochanter non-union
pain from hardware
prognosis
decrease impingement and pain
stoppe degeneration
preventive need of THA
intervention
TTWB x 6-8 weeks until osteotomy heals
<70 degrees
anterior hip dislocation precautions
precautions
if already have arthritis then cannot be a candidate
Avascular Necrosis
interruption of?
femoral head blood supply – 90% –medial femoral circumflex; 10% ligament of head of teres
advanced stages
collapse of subchondral bones supporting the overlying cartilage
father of temporary THA with a head 22 mm, now used 36 – 44 mm (had stability so decreases dislocation of)
Femoral Stem Fixation - un cemented
for young population, less loosening long-term
living interface between stem and bone
TDWW ( with Walker 6 – 8 weeks post op and PWB - check with MD)
Femoral Stem Fixations – cemented
cement will eventually microfracture and loosen
WBAT – with Walker immediately after surgery
Basic Surgical Procedure
open the capsule dislocate the hip , saw the femoral neck and ream of acetabulum,brooch with humor and place trials, once in the right place, pressfit or flue femoral component, place ball to reduce hip
Different Surgical Approaches
anterior
extension, adduction, and external rotation (TFL, glut med)
precautions 0 – 3 months: no long strides walking or backwards walking, don't kneel on surgical side, avoid extreme abduction or external rotation, don't. Unplanted could, don't swing surgical leg out of bed, don't crossleg
direct lateral
avoid hip extension, adduction, external rotation and abduction exercises
posteriolateral
avoid hip flexion, adduction, internal rotation ( and external rotation exercises)( TFL, Glut max, ER)
most commonly done
slightly higher dislocation rate
precautions 0 –3 months – don't flex > 90, don't cross legs in chair or bed, don't adduct past midline, avoid low chairs
Rehab Protocol
preop
instruct on precautions, transfer and ambulation instructions, demo they want to exercises
