Study Notes

Hip Joint Pathology and Treatment

SLS and Trendelenburg Muscles are used for walking, sit to stand, and stairs.
Different functional scales are used to assess hip function, such as the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) and Harris Hip Function Scale.
Tests for hamstring tightness include the SLR vs 90/90 Thomas test and the Ely Noble compression test.
Functional tests of the hip include squatting, going up and down stairs, crossing the legs, running, and jumping.
Osteoarthritis is the most common condition in adults and is diagnosed based on limited range of motion, stiffness, pain, and joint crepitus.
Treatment for hip osteoarthritis includes stretching, strengthening exercises, aerobic activity, and non-weight bearing exercises like biking or swimming.
Hip osteoarthritis can be differentiated from other conditions like avascular necrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and stress fractures through specific tests and clinical findings.
Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease is osteonecrosis of the proximal femoral epiphysis in children, with symptoms including vague groin ache, muscle spasm, and limited hip abduction.
Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis is posterior and inferior slippage of the proximal femoral epiphysis, with symptoms including knee/lower thigh pain, antalgic gait, and decreased range of motion.
Femoro-Acetabular Impingement is a mechanical disorder of the hip caused by abnormal contact between the femur and acetabulum, leading to pain, limited flexion and internal rotation, and positive impingement signs.
Labral tears in the hip can be caused by trauma, femoro-acetabular impingement, or capsular laxity, and are diagnosed through symptoms, imaging, and provocative tests.
Treatment for labral tears includes physical therapy to reduce hip forces and improve muscle strength, and surgical options like arthroscopic repair or debridement. Post-surgical rehabilitation involves different phases to gradually increase activity and range of motion.
