ETIOLOGY ABNORMAL SHAPE OF FEMORAL HEAD Slipped capital femoral epiphysis Femoral head flattening in avascular necrosis Femoral retroversion Coxa vara
ETIOLOGY CHILHOOD DISORDERS Developmental dysplasia of hip Slipped capital femoral epiphysis Perthes disease OTHERS Normal hip anatomy with excessive hip range of motion Iatrogenic disorders like previous osteotomies of Acetabulam and femur
CLINICAL FEATURES Groin pain with activity Locking of the hip often with sharp pain when rising from a hyperflexed sitting position or from prolonged sitting Reduced hip flexion and Internal rotation
FADIR TEST
FABER TEST
HABER TEST
RADIOGRAPHS Standardized AP pelvis radiographs with the legs internally rotated 15° Cross Table lateral view 45° Dunn lateral view Frog-leg lateral
CROSSOVER SIGN
POSTERIOR WALL SIGN
ISCHIAL SPINE SIGN
Pistol grip deformity
Anterior head neck offset ratio 1 2 3 Ratio = distance between 2 nd & 3 rd line / diameter of femur head Value of less than 0.15 - impingement
ALPHA ANGLE N ormal value for the alpha angle to be 42 degrees Asess D egree of asphericity at the femoral head neck junction. More than 50 to 55 degrees consistent with a cam deformity
LATERAL CENTER EDGE ANGLE Normal 25 – 35 degree Less than 20 degrees is indicative of hip dysplasia More than 40 degrees display overcoverage
Anterior center edge angle of lequesne False profile view Less than 20 degree undercoverage
TONNIS ANGLE Normal Tonnis angle between 0° and 10 More than 10 degrees are present with hip dysplasia Less than 0 degrees can indicate overcoverage
Beta angle Less than 30 degrees is indicative of impingement

MANAGEMENT NONOPERATIVE Activity modification Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication Hip muscle strengthening exercises Avoid Range of motion exercises
Goals of surgery Eliminate abnormal contact between proximal femur and acetabulum Address labral and articular cartilage damage To prevent the progression of Osteoarthritis Hip
indications for surgery Femoral head-neck offset deformity alpha angle >55° and acetabular retroversion MRI with labral pathology Failure of nonoperative management Associated with Clinical Symptoms
OPERATIVE MANAGEMENT Open surgery Arthroscopic Combined
SURGICAL DISLOCATION OF THE HIP Kocher-Langenbeck incision Trochanteric osteotomy Protects the profundus branch of the medial femoral circumflex artery
a Reflect the labrum Osteochondroplasty of Acetabulum Osteochondroplasty of the femoral head-neck junction Up to 30% of the diameter of the femoral neck can be removed
POSTOPERATIVE CARE Toe touch weight bearing for 6 weeks After 6 weeks weight bearing is allowed with progressive abductor strengthening Low-molecular-weight heparin is used for 2 weeks followed by aspirin 325 mg per day for another 4 weeks.
PERIACETABULAR OSTEOTOMY Indications Pin cer-type impingement caused by global acetabular retroversion
exposure
Ischial osteotomy 1 cm below the inferior lip of the acetabulum with its tip aimed at the ischial spine
superior pubic ramus osteotomy Osteotomize the superior pubic ramus perpendicular to its long axis just medial to iliopectineal eminence
Supra-Acetabular Osteotomy 1 cm above the iliopectineal line towards the apex of sciatic notch
Osteotomy of posterior column Iliopectineal line, through the medial quadrilateral plate, and parallel to the sciatic notch directed toward the ischial spine .
Mobilization of the Acetabular Fragment Internally rotate extend adduct
fixation Proximal to distal through the ilium and into the fragment in a divergent pattern Anterior to posterior from the anteroinferior iliac spine to inferior portion of the ilium
POSTOPERATIVE CARE Toe touch weight bearing for 6 weeks Range of motion is limited for the first 6 weeks After 6 weeks weight bearing is allowed with progressive abductor strengthening Low-molecular-weight heparin is used for 2 weeks followed by aspirin 325 mg per day for another 4 weeks.
Hip Arthroscopy
COMBINED HIP ARTHROSCOPY AND LIMITED OPEN OSTEOCHONDROPLASTY The advantage of this approach is primarily avoiding larger exposure including trochanteric osteotomy Only the anterior aspect of the femoral head and neck and acetabular rim can be accessed
TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY
