Hip Dysplasia and Labral Degeneration Jackie Boss
Case Study • 19 y.o. female D1 lacrosse player • CC- soreness and “pulling in her adductors” • No specific MOI • Insidious groin pain over the past 18 months • Assessment: Hip dysplasia with labral degeneration
Normal Hip X-Ray The femoral head fits firmly into the acetabulum
Hip Dysplasia There is significant space between the acetabulum and femoral head
Labral Tear The unclear white lined borders indicate tears in the acetabularlabrum
Clinical Findings for Labral Tears Due to Hip Dysplasia • MOI: Repetitive microtraumafrom pivoting or twisting • These movements associated a lot with Lacrosse • Pain, clicking, locking, catching, instability, giving way, and/or stiffness • Most commonly referred pain to anterior groin • +FABER test, +Scour test, +Resisted SLR
Clinical Reasoning of Labral Tears due to Hip Dysplasia • Dysplasia has shallow acetabulum on x-ray • Shallow acetabulum decreases bony stability, which increases mobility • The more mobility, the more abnormal stresses are placed on the surrounding soft tissue; both contractile and inert • More stressed placed on joint tissues contributes to hypermobility and possibility for labral tears
Key Clinical Rehabilitation Points of Case Study • Labral tears typically occur due to weak core/ hip musculature that isn’t controlled during movement • Leads to abnormal shearing forces on the hip joint and increased femoral head translation on the labrum increases the chance for a tear • Check for anatomical differences on X- ray before diagnosing strictly a labral tear • Nonsurgical treatment isn’t the best rehabilitation for dysplastic labral tears • Didn’t make any progress, and symptoms increased with hip and core strengthening • Weight bearing is extremely limited the first 4 weeks after surgery to protect the repaired labrum
