30
Q

If acetabular inclination is greater then 10 degrees:

A

These patients are subject to structural instability

31
Q

If acetabular inclination is less than 0 degree:

A

These patients are at risk for pincer type femoral acetabular impingement

32
Q

A lateral center-edge angle of less than 25 degrees indicates:

A

Inadequate coverage of the femoral head

33
Q

What is the Tonnis Grade?

A

Assesses severity of osteoarthritis of the hip

Grades 0 through 3 (3 is worst)

34
Q

In a cross table (lateral view), a ratio of less than 0.17 suggests:

A

A cam deformity

35
Q

Indications for hip MRI?

Occult femoral neck fx

Stress fx

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head

Labral tears

Persistent pain

Neoplasm (soft tissue or bone)

36
Q

What are the four appearances of the hip labrum on MRI?

A

Triangular
Round
Irregular
Absent

37
Q

What is the primary goal of the hip exam?

A

Distinguish between hip pathology and referred etiology

38
Q

What is the secondary goal of the hip exam?

A

To distinguish between intra and extra articular pathology

39
Q

What direction is MC for hip dislocations?

A

Posterior

40
Q

What injuries are commonly associated with hip dislocations?

A

Head
Intra-abdominal
Chest

41
Q

How does an anterior hip dislocation appear?

A

Leg is flexed, abducted, and externally rotated

42
Q

How does the posterior hip dislocation appear?

A

Leg flexed, adducted, and internally rotated (and often shortened)

43
Q

What must be assessed with hip dislocations?

A

Function of sciatic and femoral nerves

44
Q

What type of nerve palsies are common to hip dislocations?

A

Sciatic nerve palsies

45
Q

With hip dislocations, associated fractures of the _____ are common

A

Acetabulum

46
Q

A delay in reduction of a dislocated hip can lead to:

A

Osteonecrosis

47
Q

Why is ongoing evaluation so important for the hip dislocation patient even years after reduction?

A

Osteonecrosis may not become apparent until several years later

48
Q

Postraumatic arthritis is the result of:

A

Severe impact of the cartilaginous surfaces

Chronic pain can occur

49
Q

Head of the femur is supplied by: (blood)

A

A branch of the obturator artery

50
Q

The neck, greater trochanter, and proximal shaft of the femur are supplied by: (blood)

A

Lateral and medial femoral circumflex arteries

51
Q

Risk factors or osteonecrosis of the femoral head

A

Long-term corticosteroid use

Alcoholism

Sickle cell anemia

Trauma

RA or SLE

52
Q

Osteonecrosis patient presentation:

A

Indolent onset of dull ache or throbbing pain in the groin, lateral hip, or buttock

Decreased ROM

Possibly antalgic gait

53
Q

If you suspect osteonecrosis, order:

A

MRI

Q

He said he won’t test us on this, but just in case, what does the Ficat Classification refer to?

A

Grading system for osteonecrosis of the hip

Grades 0-IV

Q

If atraumatic osteonecrosis of the hip is discovered, it’s probably a good idea to:

A

Get an MRI of the contralateral hip (80% bilateral involvement)

56
Q

Tx for osteonecrosis of the head of the hip?

Third trimester pregnancy

Spontaneous resolution 6-12 mos

61
Q

Meralgia paresthetica presentation:

A

Pain burning, hypoesthesia over the lateral thigh

No motor dysfunction as these are sensory nerves that are affected

62
Q

How is the pain of meralgia paresthetica sometimes described?

A

Electric jab each time the hip extends

63
Q

Tx for meralgia paresthetica

A

Lose weight

Remove source of compression (i.e. tight waistband) (see above)

Gabapentin can be useful

64

Pain over the greater trochanteric bursa, worse with rising from a seated or recumbent position

Unable to lie on affected side

65
Q

Trochanteric bursitis - increased pain with: (PE)

Passive internal rotation

Resisted hip abduction test also causes pain

66
Q

Tx for trochanteric bursitis:
