Hip OA clinical criteria
-hip pain
-IR < 15
-flexion < 115
-age > 50 y/o
-morning stiffness < 60 min
Hip OA primary s/s
joint pain and stiffness
Hip OA radiograph criteria
hip pain
osteophytes
joint space narrowing (sup/lat)
**loss of .5 mm is clinically relevant
-mod: < 2.5mm
-severe: < 1.5mm
predictors of success w/ PT in hip OA
unilateral hip pain
age < 58
pain > 6/10
40m SPWT < 25.9 sec
symptoms < 1 yr
Hip OA management
exercise (aerobic/balance/strength)
pt ed
manual therapy (hip/lumbar)
gait
lateral THA approach
-abductors partially released and repaired
-hip lurching gait
-no post op precautions
-dec. dislocation rate
posterior THA approach
most common
posterior rotators and capsule released/repaired
dislocation risk
post op precautions:
-flex/IR/Add
anterior THA approach
newer; minimally invasive
rare dislocation
no post op precautions
posterolateral THA approach
splitting of glute max
release of short external rotators
lots of trauma/healing; precautions
THA post op adverse effects
Thromboembolism
implant failure
dislocation
infection
femoral fracture
persistent pain
THA post op acute care
medical pain mgmt
gentle exercise
-muscle activation, circulation, skin protection
transfers
gait w/ AD
precaution education
WB status
THA post op DC to home
stable pain level
adequate bed mobility
sit to stand
ambulate 100-200’ mod w/ AD
ambulate stairs mod
safe w/ ADLs
posterior THA rehab approach
spared abdcutors
pos. rotators/capsule repaired
precautions:
-no flexion > 90
-no adduction past 0
-no IR
lateral THA rehab approach
-prolonged trendelenburg
-impaired abductor function
-no precautions
hemiarthorplasty
femoral portion replaced
-w/ hip OA, fx
hip resurfacing
-does not involved removal of femoral head
-bone retained/reshaped
-prosthetic head
-acetabulum may be fitted
-same approaches as THA
advantages: preserve natural bone structure
hip resurfacing post op mgmt and phases 1-4
-precautions based on approach
1: (2 wks)
-full WB in 24 hr
-AD
-transfers, gait, stairs
2&3: (2-8 wks)
-improve ROOM, strength
-manual therapy
4: (2mo +)
-return to sport
-4 months medium impact ex
-6 months high impact ex
femoro-acetabular impingement (FAI)
impingement of femur and acetabulum
-combinations of flex, add, IR
-2 types (cam, pincer)
pincer impingement
acetabulum rim hits the head/neck of femur w/ full flexion
cam impingement
abnormal femoral head alignment into acetabulum w/ hip flexion
FAI characteristics
-most common cause of end stage OA
-groin pain w/ sports
-worse w/ sports, prolonged walking and sitting
surgical options for FAI
cam: burr osteoplasty of up to 30% of femoral neck
pincer: acetabular takedown and repair of labrum
rehab phases after hip preservation procedures (1-5)
1: (24 hrs to 4-6 wks)
-protect healing tissues
-pain control
-maintain prox/distal strength/ROM
2:
-restore ROM
-muscular re-ed
3:
-gait normalization
-inc strength to allow ADLs
4:
-muscular endurance, CV endurance
-advanced strengthening
5:
-return to sport
acetabular labral tears MOI
repetitive pivoting or twisting
traumatic event
extension + ER w/ FH anterior
