Special pead. consideration
3.
4. Regarding anatomy of hip and femur ,, what's
FALSE :
The predominant bone in proximal part is cancellous and distal
to intertrochantric is cortical
The arterial supply to femoral head arise from 3 source , the major
source is the intraoasseous cervical arteries

7. Age and gender are prediposing factors for specifi
injury (stress#/patho. #/oesteop.)
Mechanism of trauma may aid in predicting injury
pattern
Ch. medical condition predipose pt to certain
complication e.g. AVN in ch. Steroid used
Femoral /hip # may lead to hypotention ---
diagnosis of exclusion
After stabilizing pt --- examine limb for
asymerical , neurovascular
8.
9. When femoral # supected ,, the pt will be transported
from the area to A/E with traction ,,,,, whats FALSE
regarding traction :

neurological involvement
Injured exterimities should be immobilized with traction when
moving the pt

minor fall, but it occurs at all ages with significant
trauma.
Stress fracture may not show on initial films; treat
conservatively and repeat x-rays in 10-14 days.

21. Intertrochentric fracture exetended between
greater and lesser trochenter of femur ,,, whats
FALSE :
Associated mortality rate is > 80 % due to risk of
hemodynamic instability
The leg apperas internaly rotated and shorter on examination

iliopsoas muscle
If avulsed, the fragment will be displaced superiorly and
anteriorly
Sup.& pos.

of the trochanter) is __.
1. internal fixation
2. bed rest with progressive rehabilitation or internal
fixation depending on the degree of displacement

1, 2, and 3 are correct
25. Subtrochentric fracture occur between the lesser
trochenter and proximal 5 cm of femoral shaft ,,, whats
FALSE :
The proximal fragment produce flexion,abduction and
external rotation
Often accompaine femoral nerve and artery injury
Its mostly comminuated fracture and increase the risk of
non-union
Fracture fastly heal because highly vascular region
Delay union and non-union are rare
It is poor vascular region
28. Subtrochanteric hip fracture may occur with high-speed
trauma or due to a fall in elderly patients. Which of the
following statements regarding the treatment of
subtrochanteric hip fractures is correct?

internal fixation
Internal fixation is seldom required
Long-leg cast.
Surgical intervention is preferable in children < 10 years old
30. Femoral shaft fracture are common injury
in young adult after high energy trauma ,,,
what is FALSE :
Open fracture are less frequent and often the result of
gunshot wound
Almost half are a/w ligmantous damage in knee , so knee
examination is unremarkable
Severly comminuted fracture are more likely to be treated
by open reduction and internal fixation
Refracture commonly occur during early healing and
period immediately after hardware removed
Severly comm. Rx mostly
close reduction

most often caused by a motor vehicle accident, fall or child abuse.
The victim is most often a younger male. Several units of blood may
be lost into the thigh, resulting in hemorrhagic shock. Which of the
following statements regarding treatment is true?
An intramedullary rod or nail allows early
mobilization (within a few days) in uncomplicated
fractures.
A traction splint should never be applied in the
field
Prolonged bed rest with traction is the treatment of
choice
Treat with 6-8 weeks of skeletal traction progressing
to a cast brace
Plate fixation is never required for comminution

the following statements about posterior hip
dislocations is FALSE?
Use traction in line with the femoral axis with flexion of the hip
and gentle manipulation while an assistant fixates the pelvis.
The leg is shortened and internally rotated
It usually results from a posteriorly-directed force applied to the
flexed knee.
Posterior acetabular fracture is common and can be seen on
oblique views.
adducted
The thigh is abducted
Treat with closed reduction as soon as possible to avoid avascular
necrosis of the femoral head or neurovascular injury to the extremity
36. About 5-10% of hip dislocations are anterior. Which of
the following statements about anterior hip
dislocations is FALSE?
Apply persistent traction in line with the femur with gentle
manipulation while an assistant fixates the pelvis. Flexion,
adduction, and/or internal rotation manipulation while maintaining
in-line traction may be required
Closed reduction should be performed as soon as possible to
minimize the chance of avascular necrosis of the hip or
neurovascular injury to the extremity.
Rule out associated fracture prior to manipulation
The leg is abducted and externally rotated
The hip is extended
Hip is flexed
46. Myositis ossification is pathological bone formation at
a site where a bone is not normally found ,,, what is
FALSE :
Traumatic myositis result from # or direct severe trauma and
repaited minor trauma
The incidince is 2 % after treatment of close hip dislocation and
40 % in when open reduction required
In X-ray it appears as irregularly shaped masses of
hetarogeneous bone in the soft tissuearound the joint
Surgical intervention is contraindicated if the lession is near
joint

joint is facilitated by more than a dozen bursae, any of
which can become inflamed. Which of the following
statements about hip bursitis is FALSE?
Usually due to overuse or trauma
Infection or gout: should also be considered as
possible causes
Seen on exam: hip or lateral thigh pain, increased with abduction
and external rotation, as well as with straight-leg raising or
impaction of the heel with the leg extended
Seen on exam: tenderness and possibly heat and swelling
over the greater trochanter
May be helpful: ice, rest, and anti-inflammatory medications;
intrabursal local anesthetic and steroid injections
Pain not with straight leg or impaction
48.
49. Treatment of an open wound of the hip joint
includes:
1. irrigation and debridement in the operating
room

useful in evaluating the degree of osteoprosis ,,,What is
FALSE regarding singh score :
X-ray of the head of femur can quantify the degree of osteoporosis
even n non-fractured bones
The singh score contains six score depend on five trabecular
groups,, the worses is grade VI
As osteoprosis progress,,the trabecular groups dissapear
one at a time in predictable pattern
All five grup of trabeculae are seen normally in AP view of
non-diseased head,neck ,proximal end of femur
Worser grade I

compromise of its blood supply ,,,, whats FALSE :
On normal person ,,,,,, non-traumatic painful hip doesn’t R/O
AVN
Hip dislocation should reduced within 48-72 hrs to significantly
reduced incidence of AVN
AVN rarly complicated intertrochanteric fracture
With optimal treatment, femoral neck fracture are complicated
by AVN in 11% to 19% of cases
Within 24 hrs

60. 2 years old child present with h/o fever,limp and pain
in lt hip , gram +ve bacteria are recovered from the
hip joint , which of the following is most correct :
Causative organism include Neisseria and group B
streptoccocus
Culture will be positive in approximatl 50 %
Girls are afftected more than boys
The hip is most commonly affected joint
Sed rate is superior to CRP in making diagnosis
61. 8 years boy with no h/o fever or trauma , present
with pain in his groin ,Legg-Calve- perthes disease
is suspected ,,, which of following is correct :
Disease is bilateral in 50 % of cases
Finding in initial LCP inclde widning of medial joint space and
irregularity of physis
Peak year of incidence is 10 – 12 yrs
Radionnuclear scan give more information than plain film
regarding femoral head necrosis
There is limited adduction and internl rotaion on examination
62. ☺ Perthes disease is AVN to femoral head of peads resulted in
softining and break down of femoral head
☺ B/w 2 -10 yrs of age. ,,,, male > female
☺ 20 % b/l ,, limitation abd. & ext. rotation
☺Rx immobilization or limitations on usual activities or surgical
☺ After 18 months to 2 years of treatment, most children return to
normal activities without major limitations.

65. 14 yrs old obese boy present with acute onset of pain
in his lt hip after a football injury ,, xray of affected
hip demonistrate a Slipped Cappital Femoral Head ,,,
which of following is most correct :
Xray of controlateral hip is indicated
AVN would not be a complication on this pateient
Boy present at younger age than girl
This injury can be classify as stable
66. ☺ SCFEis a Salter-Harris type 1 fracture through the proximal femoral
physis.
☺ Stress around the hip causes a shear force to be applied at the growth
plate and epiphysis to move posteriorly and medially.
☺ The almost exclusive incidence of SCFE during the adolescent growth
spurt indicates a hormonal role.
☺ Obesity is another key predisposing factor in the development of SCFE.
☺ Because the physis has yet to close, the blood supply to the epiphysis
still should be derived from the femoral neck; however, this late in
childhood, the supply is tenuous and frequently lost after the fracture
occurs.
☺ Clinical presentation often is misleading, with only 50% of patients
presenting with hip pain and 25% presenting with knee pain☺
