Bursae

Hip pointer
MOI: direct blow to iliac crest S&S: any trunk movement is painful, immediate pain, discoloration, spasm, and loss of function, unable to rotate trunk or laterally flex the trunk toward the injured side, extreme tenderness, abdominal muscle spasms, unable to walk or bear weight for severe injuries Management: rest, protect with hard shell pad for return to activity; if severe pain over iliac crest refer to physician

Legg-Calve-Perthes disease
-Avascular necrosis of proximal femoral epiphysis -Seen especially in males ages 3-8 -Osteochondrosis of femoral head S&S: gradual onset of limp and mild hip or knee pain of several months in duration, pain is generally activity related, decreased ROM in hip abduction, extension, and external rotation due to spasm in hip flexors and adductors Management: do not permit to continue activity until seen by a physician
Predisposing factors for strains
-Beginning of season- too much, too soon -fatigue -history of strains; reinjury common -restricted flexibility of involved muscle group
Hip Joint
-Head of femur and acetabulum of pelvis -Ball and socket joint -Very stable -Strong ligament support: Iliofemoral ligament limits hyperextention Pubofemoral ligament limits abduction and hyperextension Ischiofemoral ilgament limits extension
Pelvis
-protects the organs -transmits loads between trunk and lower extremities -provides site for muscle attachments -made up of fused bones (sacrum, coccyx, innominate bones: ilium, ischium, and pubis)
Stress fractures
-pubis, femoral neck, and proximal one-third of femur S&S: diffuse or localized aching pain in anterior groin or thigh during weight-bearing activity (relieved with rest), night pain, and antalgic gait may be present, increased pain on extremes of hip rotation, abduction lurch, inability to stand on involved leg Management: do not permit to continue activity until seen by a physician
Hip adductors
Adductor longus, adductor brevis, and adductor magnus
Avulsion fractures
Due to rapid, sudden acceleration and deceleration Apophyseal sites: -ASIS with displacement of sartorial -AIIS with rectus femurs displacement -Ischial tuberosity with hamstrings displacement -Lesser trochanter with iliopsoas displacement S&S: sudden, acute, localized pain that may radiate down the muscle, swelling and discoloration, palpable gap between tendon attachment and bone, increased pain with AROm, PROM, RROM of involved muscle Management: fit with crutches, immediate physician referral
Lateral rotators
External rotation -Piriformis, gemellus superior, gemellus inferior, obturator internus, obturator externus, and quadratus femoris -Lateral rotation of femur of swinging leg accommodates lateral rotation of pelvis during stride
Sacrococcygeal joint
Fused line symphysis united by a fibrocartilaginous disc
Hip extensors
Gluteus maximus and hamstrings (biceps femoris, semitendinosus, semimembranosus)
Hip abductors

Hamstring Strain
Initial swing-- flex knee; late swing-- eccentrically contract to decelerate knee extension and re-extend hip in prep for stance phase; overemphasis on stretching without strengthening; additional risk factors, strength imbalance S&S: grade 1 --> tightness and tension, pain with passive stretching; grade 2 --> tearing sensation or feeling a "pop" leading to immediate pain and weakness in knee flexion; grade 3 --> sharp pain may occur during midstride, limps, unable to do heel strike or fully extend the knee, pain and muscle weakness with active knee flexion
Medial rotators
Internal rotation -Gluteus minimus -Tensor fascia latae, semitendinosus, semimembranosus, gluetus medius, and adductors
Quadriceps contusion
MOI: direct blow (common area is anterolateral thigh) S&S: pain may be extensive immediately after impact, Grade 1 = pain and swelling, able to walk without a limp, passive flexion beyond 90 degrees may be painful; resisted knee extension may cause less discomfort; Grade 2 = can flex the knee between 45 and 90 degrees and walk with a noticeable limp; Grade 3 = unable to bear weight or fully flex the knee Management: with knee in maximum flexion, hard shell pad for return to activity; if S&S persist longer than 48 hours, physician referral is needed
Bursitis
MOI: excessive friction or shear forces due to overuse Greater trochanteric- influence of Q angle S&S: burning or aching over or posterior to greater trochantor; aggravated with hip abduction against resistance and hip flexion and extension on weight bearing Management: cold to decrease pain and inflammation
Femoral shaft fracture
MOI: tremendous impact forces, direct compressive forces; potential for neurovascular damage S&S: severe pain and a total loss of functions, swelling at fracture site, present with the thigh externally rotated, shortened limb deformity Management: activate emergency plan, including summoning of EMS, do not attempt to immobilize, assess and treat for shock as necessary
Hip sprains and dislocations
MOI: violent twisting actions S&S: mild/moderate pain--> pain with internal rotation; Severe --> intense pain, inability to move hip Management: mild/moderate pain --> standard for acute, physician referral; severe --> activate EMS; immobilize in position found, do NOT move, monitor and treat for shock
Ischial bursitis
Pain aggravated by prolonged sitting and uphill running Point tenderness directly over ischial tuberosity; increased pain with passive and resisted hip extension
Iliopsoas bursitis
Pain medial and anterior to joint; cannot be easily palpated Increased pain with passive hip rotation, resisted hip flexion, abduction and external rotation
A. Quadriceps
Pain with passive knee flexion and pain and weakness with the active knee extensions are indicative of a strain involving the: A. quadriceps B. hamstrings C. iliopsoas D. adductors
Scral and coccygeal fractures
Rare in sports, direct blow to area due to fall on buttock S&S: extremely painful; unable to sit Management: immediate referral to a physician
Quadricep Strain
Rectus femoris S&S: grade 1 --> normally gait, but tightness in the anterior thigh, pain with passive knee flexion beyond 90 degrees; grade 2 --> snapping or tearing sensation, followed by immediate pain and loss of function, knee held in extension (protection), pain with passive knee flexion, and pain and weakness with knee extension; grade 3 --> extreme pain, ambulation not possible, defect in the muscle may be visible, resisted knee extension not possible; ROM is severely limited
Two Joint muscles

C. Flexion and extension
Sagittal plane movements at the hip include: A. Medial and lateral rotation B. Abduction and adduction C. Flexion and extension
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis
boys ages 12-15 -femoral head slips at epiphyseal plate and displaces inferiorly and posteriorly S&S: early S&S often undetected other than diffuse knee pain; later stages are ore comfortable holding the leg in slight flexion; Later stages: unable to touch the abdomen with the thigh because the hip externally rotates with flexion, and unable to rotate the femur internally or stand on one leg Management: do not permit to continue activity until seen by a physician
Myositis ossificans
develops secondary to single significant blow or repetitive blows to the same area; evident on radiograph 3 to 4 weeks after injury S&S: warm, firm, swollen thigh (2-4 cm larger), palpable painful mass may limit passive knee flexion to 20-30 degrees, active quadricep contractions and straight leg raises are difficult Management: standard; physician referral for worse
Adductor strain
quick changes of direction and explosive propulsion and acceleration, strength imbalance S&S: an initial "twinge" or "pull" of the groin muscles, and is unable to walk because of intense sharp pain; as the condition worsens, increased pain, stiffness, and weakness in hip adduction and flexion, running straight ahead or backward may be tolerable but any side-to-side movement leads to more discomfort and pain, pain with passive stretching with hip extended, abducted, and externally rotated, and pain with resisted hip adduction
