  1. MSK-HIP(Part I) Anatomy and Physical Exam Yibing Li 01/07/2004

  2. Hip Joint • The hip joint is a synovial ball and socket joint, formed by the reception of the head of femur into the cavity of acetabulum. It is the largest weight bearing joint in the body and is surrounded by strong ligaments and muscles. • Due to high mobility, hip joint pathology can be manifested during weight bearing, ambulation or motion.

  3. Hip Bones • The ilium, ischium, pubis and femur are the main bones at the hip joints. The ilium, ischium and pubis are fused together to form the pelvis girdle (L+R).

  4. Ligaments of the Hip Joints • Acetabular labrum forms a complete ring around the head of the femur. Its function is to hold the femoral head in place. • The ligament of the head of femur attaches the head of femur to the acetabulum.

  5. Ligaments (cont.) • There are 3 ligaments that hold the head of femur to the pelvis: • 1. Iliofemoral lig.: the strongest ligament; Its function is to prevent hyperextension, abduction and lateral rotation. • 2. Pubofemoral lig. : limits abduction • 3. Ischiofemoral lig. : limits medial rotation.

  6. The Capsule of Hip Joint • The articular fibrous capsule extends from the acetabular rim to the intertrochanteric crest forming a sleeve that encloses the hip joint and most of the femoral neck.

  7. Hip joint injection

  8. Muscles of the hip and thigh

  9. Movements at the Hip • 1. Flexion / Extension • 2. Adduction / Abduction • 3. Lateral (external)Rotation / Medial (internal) Rotation

  10. Hip Flexors • Iliopsoas (prime hip flexor) • Pectineus • Sartorius • Rectus femoris • Pectineus • Tensor fsaciae latae • Adductor brevis • Adductor longus • Adductor magnus (anterior head) • Rectus femoris

  11. P90-iliopsoas

  12. P96-pectineus

  13. Hip Extensors • Gluteus maximus • Biceps femoris (long head) • Semitendinosus • Semimembranosus • Adductor magnus (postrior head)

  14. P86

  15. P100-101 Hamstring

  16. Hip Abductors • Gluteus medius • Gluteus minimus • Tensor fasciae latae • Sartorius

  19. Hip Adductors • Adductor brevis • Adductor longus • Adductor magnus • Gracilis • Pectineus

  20. p97

  21. p98

  22. p99

  23. Internal Rotators of the Hip • Gluteus medius • Gluteus minimus • Tensor fasciae latae • Adductor magnus (anterior head)

  24. p91

  25. p89

  26. Physical Exam of the Hip and Pelvis • Inspection & Palpation • ROM • Neurologic exam • Special tests

  27. Inspection • Observe gait • Check hip and pelvis area for skin abrasions,abnormal swelling, etc. • Check if the anterior superior iliac spines are in the same horizontal plane or tilted pelvis • Observe the two discernible dimples to check PSIS for pelvic obliquity

  28. Gait • Antalgic gait: prolonged double support period, decreased stance phase and step length on the unaffected side to reduce pain and avoid weight bearing on the affected side. • Trendelenburg gait (hip abductor weakness) • ---uncompensated gait: contralateral pelvic drop. • ---compensated: lateral lurch over the affected side.(Tx with cane) • Extensor lurch gait(gluteus maximus weakness): secondary to inferior gluteal N.injury or subtrochanteric hip fx. Unable to decelerate the hip flexion moment at heel strike due to hip extensor weakness. To compensate, pt lean upper body backward to keep the center of gravity. Tx with two crutches or canes.

  29. Palpation • ----Anterior Superior Iliac Spines (ASIS): check pelvic obliquity • ----Iliac crest ( gluteus and sartorius muscles originate just below it) • ----Greater Trochanter (uneven in congenital hip dislocation or poor-healed hip fx) • ----PSIS (lie directly underneath the visible dimples just above the buttocks, check for pelvic obliquity) • ----Trochanteric Bursa (have pt lie on the side with hip flexion; If it is inflamed, the area feels boggy and tender to palpation)

  30. Flexion: 120 degree Extension: 30 degree Abduction: 45-50 degree Adduction: 0-30 degree External rotation: 35 degree Internal rotation: 45 degree (OA limits internal rotation first) ROM

  31. Neurologic Exam • Muscle testing: test muscle strength in functional groups. • Primary flexor: Iliopsoas (femoral N. L1,2,3) • Primary extensors: Gluteus Maximus (inferior gluteus N. S1) • Primary adductors: Adductor longus (obturator N. L2,3,4) • Primary Abductor: Gluteus medius( superior gluteal N., L5) • Sensation testing: for example, dermatomes ( T10-L3)

  32. Special Hip Tests • 1. Patrick (Fabere) test • 2. Thomas test • 3. Ober test • 4. Trendelenburg test • 5. Leg length discrepancy

  33. Patrick test • This test is to assess Flexion, Abduction, External Rotation • Perform with pt supine, passively flex and externally rotate and abduct the hip. • Ipsilateral inguinal pain indicates pathology in the hip joint or the surrounding muscles. • Contralateral pain occurs in the dysfunctional SI joint.

  34. Thomas Test • To assess hip flexion contractures • Perform the test with the pt supine, flex one hip fully reducing the lumbar spine lordosis, stabilizing the spine and pelvis, extend the opposite hip.A flexion contracture is present if the hip cannot fully extend. The degree of flexion contracture can be done by estimating the angle between the table and pt’s leg.

  35. Ober test • To test for contraction of the fascia lata. • Have pt lie on the side with involved leg uppermost. Abduct the leg as far as possible and flex the knee to 90 degree. If the thigh remains abducted, there may be a contracture of the tensor fascia lata or ITB.

  36. Trendelenburg test • Test for gluteus medius weakness • Perform with the pt standing erect, one foot is raised off the floor, strength of the gluteus medius of the supported side is assessed. A positive test occurs when the pelvis on the unsupported side descends or remains level. • Conditions with gluteus medius weakness:--- radiculopathies,poliomyelitis,meningomyelocele, fx of the greater trochanter, slipped capital femoral epiphysis, congenital hip dislocation.

  37. Leg Length Discrepancy (LLD) • Leg Length Discrepancy (LLD) • True LLD: measure from ASIS to the medial malleoli. The shortening may be due to fx crossing the epiphyseal plate in children or poliomyelitis. • To determine the discrepancy from femur or the tibia: (with pt supine, flex the knees to 90 and place feet flat on the table) If the knee is higher than the other, that tibial is longer ; if one knee projects further anteriorly, then that femur is longer.

  38. Leg length discrepancy • Apparent LLD: (determine no TLLD first)with pt supine, measure from umbilicus to the medial malleoli. Apparent discrepancy may be caused by pelvic obliquities or flexion or adduction deformity of the hip.
