  2. Hip dislocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_dislocation

    Approaches to surgical reductions include the posterior approach for posterior dislocations (Kocher-Langenbeck), and the anterior (Smith-Petersen) approach for anterior dislocations. [4] [5] [28] A CT scan or Judet views should be obtained prior to transfer to the surgical suite.

  3. Pelvic fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelvic_fracture

    Certain precautions are crucial in order to lower the risk of getting pelvic fractures. The most damaging is one from a car accident, cycling accident, or falling from a high building which can result in a high energy injury. This can be very dangerous because the pelvis supports many internal organs and can damage these organs. Falling is one ...

  4. Hip replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_replacement

    Modern implant designs offer similar dislocation rates across the anterior and posterior approaches. The anterior approach has been shown in studies to variably improve early functional recovery, with possible complications of femoral component loosening and early revision. Minimally invasive approaches

  5. Sims' position - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sims'_position

    Posterior view of Sims' position. Anterior view of Sims' position. The Sims position, or left lateral Sims position, named after the gynaecologist J. Marion Sims, is usually used for rectal examination, treatments, enemas, and examining women for vaginal wall prolapse. [1] [2]

  6. Piriformis syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piriformis_syndrome

    Most practitioners agree that spasm, strain or pain in any muscle can often be treated by regular stretching exercise of that muscle, no matter the cause of the pain. Stretching is recommended every two to three waking hours. Anterior and posterior movement of the hip joint capsule may help optimize the patient's stretching capacity.

  7. Minimally invasive hip resurfacing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimally_invasive_hip...

    Thomas P.Sculco: posterior approach. Innsbruck (Prof.Nolger): Direct anterior. Some MIS approaches for THA have been largely abandoned by surgeons, most especially Richard Berger's approach. None of the above approaches offer a fluoroscopy-free approach to Minimal Invasive Hip Resurfacing.

  8. Joint replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_replacement

    The anterior approach accesses the hip joint from the front, with less large muscle dissection but due to the proximity of the femoral artery, corresponding vein, and main nerve bundle for the leg lying just medial to the acetabulum the surgeon must exercise caution and maintain suitable landmarks.

  9. Capsule of hip joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsule_of_hip_joint

    The capsule of hip joint, articular capsule, or capsular ligament is strong and dense attachment of the hip joint . Anterosuperiorly, it is attached to the margin of the acetabulum 5 to 6 mm. beyond the labrum behind; but in front, it is attached to the outer margin of the labrum, and, opposite to the notch where the margin of the cavity is ...

  10. Anatomical terms of location - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_location

    The term "anterior", while anatomically correct, can be confusing when describing the palm of the hand; Similarly is "posterior", used to describe the back of the hand and arm. This confusion can arise because the forearm can pronate and supinate and flip the location of the hand.

  11. Hip arthroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_arthroscopy

    Hip arthroscopy. Intraoperative fluoroscopic image during an arthroscopic resection of a cam lesion of the femur. The upper instrument is the arthroscope (viewing device), while the lower is the high-speed burr used for reshaping the bone. Hip arthroscopy refers to the viewing of the interior of the acetabulofemoral (hip) joint through an ...
