¡Supera tus tareas y exámenes ahora con Quizwiz!

Transverse with Flexion

- Dynamic assessment of the femoral head. - Transducer rotated 90 degrees from coronal place and directed to the mid portion of the femoral head. - Demonstrates femoral head in relation to the acetabulum Leg is flexed. - Adduct the hip (appx 15 degrees)

Coronal (long) Scanning Plane Technique

- Hip in neutral position - Decubitus or supine position - Transducer in lateral aspect of hip (longitudinal image) - Femoral head seen in the acetabulum - Iliac line in a superior position - Femoral shaft in the inferior aspect -measure Alpha and Beta angles

Transverse Scanning Plane Technique

- Transducer is 90 degrees from the coronal plane. - Obtain transverse on neutral and flexed positions. - Sonographic image TRV FLEXED

clinical assessment and sonography

What are the two most common methods to evaluate DDH?

What extends outward from acetabulum, forming the cup that holds the femoral head.

Labrum

What fibrocartilage helps stabilize the hip?

Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip; wide range from mild to severe of dysplasia and dislocation

What is DDH?

infant is in supine position with knees flexed where dislocation can be observed if one knee appears lower than the other

hypoechoic circle

What is the sonographic apperance of the femoral head?

the labrum

What part of the hip joint provides cartilaginous coverage of the femoral head?

the acetabulum

What part of the hip joint provides osseous coverage of the femoral head?

femoral head

What sits in the center of the acetabulum?

Linear; 12 MHz; 7.5; 5

When evaluating a neonate hip you use a ______ transducer, for premature use a _____MHz, for up to 3 months use a ____ MHz, for 3-6 months use a ___MHz.

4-6 weeks

When is the ideal time to scan a neonate hip?

Type II

Which Graff classification can newborns present with?

mesoderm

Which germ cell layer are the bones, connective tissue, and muscles derived from?

late 3rd week or beginning of 4th week

Which week post-conception marks the beginning of bone formation and ossification of bones of arms and legs?

Maternal Hormones

___________________ favors laxity of femoral ligaments and causes a predisposition to subluxation or dislocation

arthrocentesis

a procedure where fluid is drained from a joint using a needle and syringe

Dislocated

Femoral Head is completely displaced from acetabulum

Subluxated

Femoral Head moves posteriorly and remains intact with the posterior aspect of the acetabulum

Dislocatable

Femoral Head properly positioned within acetabulum but easily displaces when pressure is applied

Taking the Alpha and Beta angle measurements

1st line: along ilium across femoral head 2nd line: from ilium along the labrum 3rd line: from bony edge of acetabulum (tri-radiate cartilage) to the inferior edge of the ilium.

Dysplastic

Acetabulum irregular & labrum is abnormal (thickened)

6th week

At which gestational week the joints of the body begin to develop?

dislocation

Barlow is a ______ test.

coronal; alpha

Both the alpha and beta angle can be obtained in the ___________ scan plane with higher reliance on the _________ angle.

- Hip pain - Limping - Unable to bear weight - Movement restriction - Fever

Hip Effusion Indications

6 months or older (ossification centers are more evident)

Radiographs are more effective when?

Greater than or equal to 60 degrees

The Alpha angle (between 1st and 2nd lines) should be ______________.

ball on a spoon

The Coronal/ flexion view of the hip looks like?

U confiuration

False : Both hips must be included in assessment

True or False: You should only scan the hip that is of concern.

Graff Classification

Type I: Normal α angle is greater than 60 degrees Type II: more than 3-months. Old α angle is b/w 40-60 degrees Type III: Dislocated hip α angle less than 43 degrees Type IV: Gross dislocation α angle not measurable

Graf assessment

dynamic technique for measurement of the acetabular depth with static images with/without stress to assess femoral stability
