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
- Dislocation.
- Wear.
- Venous thrombi.
- Fractures.
- Postoperative thigh pain.
- Failure.
- Infection.
Hip Replacement Postoperative Care
- Transfer techniques.
- Assistive devices.
- Exercises:
- Ankle pumps.
- Quadriceps sets.
- Gluteal sets.
- Active hip and knee flexion.
- Isometric hip abduction.
- Active hip abduction.
Hip Replacement Rehabilitation
- Restoration of:
- Joint motion.
- Muscle strength.
- Maintenance of:
- Vascular function.
- Respiratory function.
- Education about:
- Joint preservation techniques.
- Bed mobility.
- Weight bearing.
Postoperative Weight Bearing
- Cemented: partial weight bearing (PWB) for 3 weeks.
- Cementless: touch-down weight bearing (TDWB) to weight bearing as tolerated (WBAT).
Hip Replacement Precautions
- Avoid:
- Excessive extension, external rotation, and adduction (anterolateral & true lateral incision).
- Excessive flexion, internal rotation, and adduction (posterolateral incision).
- Sitting in low chairs.
- Bending forward for shoes, socks, cutting toenails.
- Crossing legs.
- Twisting legs.
- Driving.
- Jumping.
- Running.
- Contact sports.
Hip Replacement Activities
- Low-impact:
- Sailing.
- Swimming.
- Cycling.
- Golfing.
- Bowling.
- High-impact:
- Running.
- Water-skiing.
Cemented vs Cementless Hip Replacements
- Internal rotation of the hip joint:
- Don’t perform for 3-6 months.
- Adduction of the hip joint:
- Don’t perform for 3-6 months.
- Flexion of the hip joint beyond 90 degrees:
- Don’t perform for 3-6 months.
- Isometric exercise:
- Immediately postoperative as tolerated.
- Active exercise:
- Initiation is variable between weeks 1 through 4.
- Ambulation:
- Cemented:
- Partial weight bearing for 3 weeks.
- Begin ambulation with cane at week 4.
- Begin full weight bearing at week 5.
- Cemented-less:
- Touch-down weight bearing for 3 weeks.
- Progress to 1/3 weight bearing at week 6.
- Progress to 2/3 weight bearing at week 8.
- Progress to full weight bearing at week 10.
- Cemented:
