Common Conditions
A patient with this type of hip fracture will likely have an externally rotated and shortened leg, severe pain with weight-bearing, and high risk of postoperative complications.
What is an intertrochanteric hip fracture?
This pediatric test is used to assess developmental dysplasia of the hip by attempting to dislocate and then relocate the hip joint.
What is the Barlow and Ortolani test?
The patient has restriction in hip flexion and IR
What is hip posterior glide?
The hip flexes.
What is posterior rotation of the innominate?
This educational approach helps patients reconceptualize pain by focusing on its complex biological and psychological components rather than just tissue damage.
What is Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE)?
This approach to total hip replacement is associated with faster recovery and fewer postoperative precautions, as it minimizes muscle disruption.
What is the direct anterior approach?
This test involves compressing the femoral head into the acetabulum while moving the hip in a circular motion, checking for irregularities, bumps, or pain.
What is the Hip Scour test?
What is lateral glide?
The hip abducts.
What is superior glide of the innominate?
The use of words like "degenerative disc disease" or "chronic inflammation" may lead to this psychological response, which can increase a patient’s fear and disability.
What is Catastrophic interpretation?
The most effective early intervention for this condition includes patient education on avoiding compressive positions, strengthening the gluteal muscles, and activity modification.
What is greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS)?
During walking, the hip joint experiences forces of up to this multiple of body weight.
What is 1.3-5.8xBW?
What is hip extension?
What is Gaenslen's Test?
This questionnaire assesses a patient’s beliefs about the potential harm of physical activity and how these beliefs influence behavior.
What is the FABQ?
This late-stage complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the most common reason for revision surgery and occurs when the implant loosens from the surrounding bone.
What is mechanical loosening?
What is excessive retroversion?
The femur rolls lateral and glides medial.
What is hip abduction?
An intervention performed where the examiner applies a resisted isometric contraction of the hip extensors?
What is iliosacral posterior rotation MET?
37 is considered a high score for this OM?
What is the TSK?
Following a hip arthroscopy, a patient must achieve at least 85% of uninvolved hip flexion strength, full pain-free range of motion, and the ability to perform this type of drill before returning to unrestricted sports.
What is phase IV?
The patient has a pronated subtalar joint, short ipsilateral leg and anterior pelvic rotation.
What is coxa vara?
Femur rolls lateral and glides anterior and medial
What is hip ER?
What is the ilioscaral anterior rotation accessory motion technique?
The type of identification of patients at risk to become disabled might lead to more effective interventions, that in turn reduce disability and associated costs.
What is early identification?
