    Study Notes

    Hip Joint

    • The hip joint is the second largest in the body.
    • Connects the pelvic girdle to the lower extremity.
    • Provides stability and mobility.
    • Transmits weight between axial and appendicular skeletons.
    • Commonly affected by arthritis.

    Anatomy

    • Diarthrodial, ball and socket joint.
    • Femoral head is two-thirds of a perfect sphere.
    • The entire head is covered by cartilage (except the fovea).
    • The femoral head typically faces medially, superiorly, and anteriorly.
    • The acetabulum is incomplete near the inferior pole (transverse acetabular ligament).

    Ligaments

    • Iliofemoral ligament.
    • Pubofemoral ligament.
    • Ischiofemoral ligament.
    • Ligamentum teres.

    Hip Joint Motion

    • Anterior and posterior tilting of the pelvis on the fixed femur produces hip flexion and extension, respectively.

    Capsular Pattern

    • Resting position: 30 degrees of flexion, 30 degrees of abduction, slight lateral rotation.
    • Close-packed position: Extension, medial rotation, and abduction.
    • Capsular pattern: Flexion, abduction, medial rotation (order may vary).

    Hip Disorders

    • Rheumatoid arthritis.
    • Ankylosing spondylitis.
    • Avascular necrosis.
    • Hemophilia.
    • Post fracture or dislocation.
    • Hereditary disorders.
    • Idiopathic.
    • Osteomyelitis.
    • Bone tumor.
    • Osteoarthritis.
    • Developmental dysplasia of the hip.
    • Hip impingement (femoroacetabular impingement).

    Hip Arthritis

    • Arthritis of the hip can result from many causes.
    • About 30% of all patients have mild acetabular dysplasia and 30% have a retroverted socket.
    • These conditions reduce the contact area of the femoral head in the acetabulum, increasing pressure and wear.
    • Approximately 30% of patients have no obvious risk factors.
    • Characterized by:
      • Loss of articular cartilage.
      • Joint space narrowing and pain.
      • Stiffness.
      • Osteophyte formation (bone spurs).
    • Symptoms:
      • Difficulty with daily living activities.
      • Pain with passive internal rotation of the hip.
      • Tenderness over the joint capsule.
      • Restricted range of motion.
      • Abductor limp.
      • Functional leg-length discrepancy (abduction contracture).
    • Treatment:
      • Cane in the opposite hand.
      • Stretching and strengthening exercises.
      • Yoga.
      • Leg rotations.
      • Leg raises.
      • Knee cross-overs.
      • Strengthening exercises using resistance bands.
      • Straight leg lifts.
      • Knee-to-chest lifts.
      • Mini-squat exercises.

    Hip Joint Dislocation

    • Types:
      • Anterior dislocation
      • Posterior dislocation (more common).
      • Central dislocation (direct thrust along the line of the femoral neck).

    Posterior Hip Dislocation

    • Caused by a longitudinal thrust along the femoral shaft when the hip is flexed and adducted.
    • The head of the femur is displaced backward out of the acetabulum.
    • Symptoms:
      • Internally rotated leg.
      • Adducted leg.
      • Shortened leg.

    Posterior Hip Dislocation Complications

    • Immediate:
      • Sciatic nerve injury.
    • Late:
      • Avascular necrosis of the femoral head.

    Anterior Hip Dislocation

    • Caused by a force that abducts the extended hip.
    • The femoral head is displaced below and in front of the acetabulum.
    • Symptoms:
      • Abducted leg.
      • Externally rotated leg.

    Hip Dislocation Treatment

    • Posterior dislocation:
      • Manipulative reduction.
      • Traction (4 weeks).
      • Weight bearing.
      • Regular X-rays.
    • Anterior dislocation:
      • Manipulative reduction.
      • 3 weeks of traction.

    Hip Arthroplasty

    • Surgical construction of a new artificial, painless, movable, and stable hip joint.
    • The first successful joint replacement in humans was in 1959.
    • The hip was the first joint to be successfully replaced.
    • Types:
      • Total arthroplasty (full joint replacement).
      • Hemiarthroplasty (partial joint replacement).

    Hip Arthroplasty Components

    • Constrained: restricted movement in all anatomical planes.
    • Semi-constrained: some movement is allowed in all planes.
    • Unconstrained: permits free movement in all anatomical planes (prone to dislocation until 6 weeks post-operation).

    Hip Replacement Materials

    • Inert metals with low friction coefficients:
      • Stainless steel.
      • Chrome-cobalt-molybdenum alloys.
      • High-density polyethylene.

    Indications for Hip Replacement

    • Pain.
    • Loss of function.
    • Osteoarthritis.
    • Rheumatoid arthritis.
    • Post-traumatic joint stiffness.
    • Avascular necrosis.
    • Recommended age: 60 years or older.

    Hip Replacement Fixation

    • Acrylic cement.
    • Bioingrowth (no cement used).

    Hip Replacement Surgical Approaches

    • Anterolateral: between tensor fascia lata and glutei.
    • Posterolateral: through the posterior capsule.
    • True lateral: excision of the greater trochanter.

    Hip Replacement Complications
