anemia

for better pain control
Hip Anatomy
• Ball-and-Socket joint
• Femoral head
• Acetabulum
• 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
• Trochanteric bursitis

Avascular Necrosis (Osteonecrosis) of
The Femoral Head
• Can be symptomatic (pain, limitation of movement) or
asymptomatic
• 85% of symptomatic AVN collapse osteoarthritis
• Treatment:
• Early stages: anticoagulant, bisphosphonates, core decompression
• Late stages: resurfacing, total hip replacement, fusion

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
• 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
• Hip Dislocation
• Anterior vs Posterior
• Central with Acetabulum Fracture Dislocation
• Mechanism: dashboard
• Complications:
• Sciatic nerve injury Foot Drop
• AVN of Femoral Head
Femoral Neck Fractures
• Differences between young & old
• 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)?

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
anatomy and its implication on management
