Hip exam
1st : Look A) Front : symmetry , pelvic tilt , deformity , muscle wasting. B) Side : scar , increased lumbar lordosis C) Back : scoliosis , sinus , scar , muscle wasting 2nd : Length Look (flat on couch , knees flexed and heels together) Measure a) true length : ASIS to medial malleolus b) apparent length : Xiphisternum (or umbilicus) to medial malleolus. 3rd : Feel Femur head : anterior below the inguinal ligament just lateral to the femoral artery ASIS and iliac crest Greater trochanter Adductor longus (lesser trochanter) Hamstring origin (ischial tuberosity) 4th : Move Abduction , Adduction (making sure the pelvis is not moving by placing you thumb and middle finger on each ASIS), internal and external rotation , flexion. 5th : Special tests Trendelenburg test : hip support Thomas test : fixed flexion deformity Walking Neurologic exam X-rays |

What is Meralgia Paraesthetica ?

Pain, numbness, tingling and paresthesia localised to anterolateral aspect of thigh. Metabolic disorder most notably diabetes is identified as the potential cause of this condition. |

What is Allen’s test ?
|
Allen’s test allows assessment of the extent of connection between the radial and ulnar arteries through the palmar arches.
In Allen’s test: the examiner compresses both the radial and ulnar arteries at the wrist and then asks the patient to flex and extend the fingers repetitively. After the hand blanches, pressure from the radial artery is released while compression is maintained on the ulnar artery and the examiner observes how long it takes for each of the fingers to regain its pink color. The initial step is repeated with both vessels compressed, and the ulnar artery occlusion is then released while pressure is maintained on the radial artery. Again, examination of the reperfusion of the fingers reveals which digits are primarily supplied through the ulnar artery. |

What is triple arthrodesis ?
|
Triple arthrodesis results in fusion of subtalar, calcaneocuboid, and talonavicular joints. It is most effective procedure for fixed hindfoot and forefoot deformities. Triple arthrodesis tend to have a high (50%) failure rate in children under 10 years of age. Fusion of the above said bones is done after 12 years of age only because before that the bones are cartillagous.
