Hip Disorders

Sohail Bajammal, MBChB, MSc, FRCSC

September 25, 2017


Learning Objectives
• Recognize the significance of femoral blood supply
anatomy and its implication on management

• Recognize common diseases of the hip, their


clinical presentation & principles of management

• Identify the principles of managing fractures


around the hip according to their classification
Case

• 30-year-old male
• PMH: sickle cell
anemia
• Bilateral hip pain for 6
months
• X-ray was seen by his
brother (a new med
graduate). Given
NSAIDs.
• Given steroids by GP
for better pain control
Hip Anatomy
• Ball-and-Socket joint
• Femoral head
• Acetabulum

• Blood supply to femoral head


• Importance for AVN & femoral neck fracture

• Muscle groups
• Flexors: iliopsoas, others
• Abductors: Gluteus medius, minimus & TFL
• Adductors
• External rotators: Gluteus maximus & others
Common Diseases of the Hip in Adults
• Hip Arthritis:
• Primary Osteoarthritis
• Secondary: trauma, infection, AVN, DDH

• Avascular necrosis (AVN)

• Trochanteric bursitis

• Others: stress fracture, transient osteoporosis of


the hip
Back to the case

• 30-year-old male
• PMH: sickle cell
anemia
• Bilateral hip pain for 6
months
• X-ray was seen by his
brother (a new med
graduate). Given
NSAIDs.
• Given steroids by GP
for better pain control
• Describe the X-ray
Avascular Necrosis (Osteonecrosis) of
The Femoral Head
• Can be symptomatic (pain, limitation of movement) or
asymptomatic
• 85% of symptomatic AVN  collapse  osteoarthritis

• Causes/Risk Factors (long list)


• Trauma: Femoral neck fracture, Posterior hip dislocation
• Steroids, Alcohol
• Coagulopathy
• Sickle Cell Anemia
• Decompression sickness
• SCFE, Perthes Disease
• Pregnancy

• MRI is the most sensitive diagnostic tool

• Treatment:
• Early stages: anticoagulant, bisphosphonates, core decompression
• Late stages: resurfacing, total hip replacement, fusion
3 years later
Hip Osteoarthritis
Hip Osteoarthritis
• Symptoms:
• Groin pain: radiating to thigh, or buttock
• Referred knee pain
• Stiffness
• Antalgic gait

• On examination:
• Pain & limitation of internal rotation of the hip early
• Late: fixed flexion & external rotation

• Must rule out other pathologies


• Lumbar degenerative disc disease
• Sacroiliac joint arthritis
Etiology of Hip Arthritis
• Primary: idiopathic osteoarthritis

• Secondary:
• Vascular: Avascular Necrosis
• Inflammatory: reactive arthritis
• Traumatic: intra-articular fractures, instability, cartilage
damage
• Autoimmune: rheumatoid arthritis
• Metabolic
• Infection
• Developmental: DDH
Factors leading to osteoarthritis

What can we do to any joint pathology?
e.g., Hip Joint
1. Don’t touch it: non-surgical management
According to pathology, life style modification, weight loss,
activity modification, physiotherapy, pain medications
2. Inject it: steroids
3. Look inside it & fix: arthroscopy
4. Re-align it: osteotomy
5. Resurface it: resurfacing arthroplasty
6. Replace it: partial (hemi) or total joint arthroplasty
7. Fuse it: arthrodesis
8. Resect (excise) it: excision (resection) arthroplasty
9. Resect the limb: amputation
Total Hip Replacement
(Arthroplasty)
Total Hip Replacement
• Very common procedures
• 400,000 every year in the US

• Excellent results & improvement in quality of life


• >90% excellent function after 10 years

• Complications (Immediate vs Delayed)”


• DVT
• Leg Length Discrepancy
• Neurovascular Injury
• Fracture
• Infection
• Dislocation
• Loosening
Hip Hemiarthroplasty Total Hip Arthroplasty
Total Hip Arthroplasty Hip Resurfacing
Hip Fusion (Arthrodesis) Total Hip Arthroplasty
Girdlestone Excision Arthroplasty
More patients
Neglected DDH
Patient #1
• 79-year-old female
• Asymptomatic hip
• Known DDH when she
was a kid
Neglected DDH
Patient #2
• 73-year-old female
• Severe pain left hip
• Disabling her activities
• Exhausted non-
operative treatment
Hip Trauma
Injuries around the hip joint
• Ligamentous injuries

• Hip Dislocation
• Anterior vs Posterior
• Central with Acetabulum Fracture Dislocation

• Fractures around the hip:


• Acetabulum fracture
• Femoral head fracture
• Femoral neck fracture
• Intertrochanteric fracture
• Subtrochanteric fracture
Posterior Hip Dislocation
• More common than anterior

• Mechanism: dashboard

• Flexed, Adducted, Internally


Rotated & Shortened

• Complications:
• Sciatic nerve injury  Foot Drop
• AVN of Femoral Head
Femoral Neck Fractures
• Differences between young & old

• Mechanism differs according to age

• Clinically, leg is shortened & externally rotated.

• Complications:
• Avascular necrosis
• Non-union
• Malunion
• Implant-related complications
Femoral Neck Fractures
Patient #1
• 31-year-old lady
• Motor Vehicle Crash
• 9 hours ago
• Isolated injury
• What to do?
“Open” reduction & internal fixation
“Closed” reduction & internal fixation
Non-union

6 months later
Femoral Neck Fractures
Patient #2

• 80-year-old lady
• Fell at home
• What to do next?
What to do next for an elderly with
femoral neck fracture?
1. Primary Survey of ATLS if not done
2. Detailed History:
• Reason of fall: Dehydration? Hypothension? Angina? MI? CVA?
• Mechanism?
• Other injuries?
• Any loss of consciousness (transient)?

3. Physical Exam: Secondary Survey


4. Any medical comorbidities?  optimize first
5. DVT Prophylaxis before & after
6. Osteoporosis workup & management upon discharge
7. Social issues, Fall Prevention
Hip Hemiarthroplasty Total Hip Arthroplasty

Option 1 Option 2
1 year later
Intertrochanteric Fractures
• 80-year-old lady
• Fell at home
• What to do?
Options for intertrochanteric #
Nail DHS
Complications do happen
Complications do happen
Many options for subtrochanteric
Acetabulum Fractures
Pelvic Injuries
What can you do
now or when you graduate
to have a positive impact
on hip fractures?
Summary
• Recognize the significance of femoral blood supply
