James Cyriax- principles of
orthopaedic medicine
•
All pain has a source
•
All treatment must reach the source
5
Sources of pain
•
The joint itself- joint surface, joint capsule
•
Structures around the joint that move the jointtendons, muscles.
•
Inert structures around the joint- ligaments, bursae
•
Referred pain

Exercise 1 -Surface anatomy
•
Anterior superior iliac spine
•
Posterior superior iliac spines
•
Iliac crests
•
Greater trochanter
•
Ischial tuberosity- origin of hamstring
•
Pubic tubercle- origin of adductor longus
•
Position of L2,3,4 dermatomes

Passive movements
•
Test inert structures- joint capsule, ligaments, bursa,
fascia, nerve root
•
Capsular pattern- varies from joint to joint- passive
range of movement patterns
•
Hip joint capsular pattern- most limitation of medial
rotation, less limitation of flexion and abduction,
least limitation extension
12
Resisted movements
•
Test contractile structures- tendons and muscles
•
Pain and power
•
Test joint in mid position
13
Palpation
•
Localising precise site of tenderness at end of
examination.
14
History
•
Age and occupation
•
Site and spread of pain
•
Onset and duration
•
Symptoms: twinges, night pain, pain on activity, cough/sneeze
•
Behaviour- effect on life
•
Other joints
•
PMH
•
Medications
15
Inspection
•
Bony deformity- spinal curvatures,pelvic position, leg
length
•
Wasting
•
Swelling
16
Examination- eliminate spine
Make sure you have a small stool in your room!
•
Eliminate lumbar spine- active lumbar extension with
and without hip in flexion- stool. Active side flexion
•
Supine lying- SLR
•
Exercise 2 - everyone rule out the spine!
17
Examination of hip- after ruling out spine
Supine lying
Passive flexion, medial rotation,lateral rotation, abduction, adduction
Resisted flexion, medial rotation,lateral rotation, abduction, adduction
Prone lying
Femoral stretch test- rule out spine
Passive
• Medial
• Knee
and lateral rotation
flexion and extension
Resisted
• Lateral
rotation- small deep muscles hip- piriformis
• Medial
rotation- gluteus medius
• Knee
flexion- hamstrings
• Knee
extension- quadriceps
18
Special tests
Psoas bursa test
Sign of buttock test
Trendelenberg test
Thomas's test

Perthes disease
Children with Perthes' disease
usually complain of pain in the
groin, the thigh or the knee particularly after physical activity.
They limp and have a restricted
range of movement (stiffness) of
the hip joint. These symptoms may
persist on and off for many
months. The disease itself lasts for
a few years.
Age 4 to 8 most common
Can occur 2 to 15 yrs
