  2. Hip fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_fracture

    A hip fracture is a break that occurs in the upper part of the femur (thigh bone), at the femoral neck or (rarely) the femoral head. [2] Symptoms may include pain around the hip, particularly with movement, and shortening of the leg. [2] Usually the person cannot walk. [3] A hip fracture is usually a femoral neck fracture.

  3. Greater trochanteric pain syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_trochanteric_pain...

    Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS), a form of bursitis, is inflammation of the trochanteric bursa, a part of the hip. This bursa is at the top, outer side of the femur , between the insertion of the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus muscles into the greater trochanter of the femur and the femoral shaft .

  4. Hip pain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_pain

    Hip avascular necrosis, cell death of bone tissue in the hip joint brought on by vascular occlusion or coagulation which is the result of old age, alcoholism, trauma, decompression sickness, or several other possible causes; the treatment is often total hip replacement

  5. Femoral fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoral_fracture

    Fractures of the diaphysis, or middle of the femur, are managed differently from those at the head, neck, and trochanter; those are conventionally called hip fractures (because they involve the hip joint region). Thus, mentions of femoral fracture in medicine usually refer implicitly to femoral fractures at the shaft or distally.

  6. Femoral neck - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoral_neck

    For low-grade fractures (Garden types 1 and 2), standard treatment is fixation of the fracture in situ with screws or a sliding screw/plate device. In elderly patients with displaced or intracapsular fractures many surgeons prefer to undertake a hemiarthroplasty , replacing the broken part of the bone with a metal implant.

  7. Trendelenburg gait - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trendelenburg_gait

    Greater trochanteric avulsion injury; Fracture or non-union of the femoral neck; Coxa vara (the angle between the femoral neck head and shaft is less than 120 degrees) Damage to the hip joint (fulcrum); chronic or developmental hip dislocation/dysplasia Avascular necrosis; Legg–Calvé–Perthes disease; Developmental dysplasia; Chronic infection

  8. Heterotopic ossification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterotopic_ossification

    Heterotopic ossification of varying severity can be caused by surgery or trauma to the hips and legs. About every third patient who has total hip arthroplasty (joint replacement) or a severe fracture of the long bones of the lower leg will develop heterotopic ossification, but is uncommonly symptomatic.

  9. Hip examination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_examination

    True leg length – Greater Trochanter of the femur or Anterior Superior Iliac Spine of pelvis to medial malleolus of ipsilateral leg. Apparent leg length – umbilicus or xiphisternum (noting which is used) to the medial malleolus of ipsilateral leg. In hip fractures the affected leg is often shortened and externally rotated.
