“External Rotators of the Hip”
Small Muscles
Mostly attach near or on greater trochanter
Excellent mechanical advantage for 1) producing
external rotation and 2) to help maintain stability of
the hip
All but one innervated by named nerves specific to
one or two of them
The exception is the obturator externus – innervated
by posterior brach of obturator n.

Blood Supply to Femoral Head

Most important in children.
Its contribution decreases with age, and is
probably insignificant in elderly patients.
Blood Supply to Femoral Head
2. Ascending Cervical Branches
Arise from ring at base of neck.
Ring is formed by branches of medial and lateral
circumflex femoral arteries.
Penetrate capsule near its femoral attachment and ascend
along neck.
Perforate bone just distal to articular cartilage.
Highly susceptible to injury with hip dislocation.
Common Injuries
Dislocation
-femoral head moves out of the
acetabulum
-usually it goes posterior into notch
-position typically flexion,
adduction, and internal rotation
-common mechanism: knee to
dashboard during traffic collision
-signs and symptoms: extreme pain,
obvious deformity, unwilling to
move the extremity
Hip Dislocation: Mechanism of Injury
Almost always due to high-energy trauma.
Most commonly involve unrestrained occupants in
MVAs.
Can also occur in pedestrian-MVAs, falls from
heights, industrial accidents and sporting injuries.
COMMON INJURIES
Hip Fracture
-most frequently occurs through the femoral neck
-a direct blow to the lateral hip
-signs and symptoms: pain, swelling, and loss of
function
-the involved leg will appear shortened and will be
externally rotated
INTERTROCHANTERIC
FRACTURE
COMMON INJURIES
Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head
-blood supply to the femur head is severed or is occluded
for a prolonged period of time.
-this is a common complication following hip
dislocations, fractures, and chronic synovitis and often
necessitates a hip replacement
POST OPERATIVE
REPAIR
COMMON INJURIES
Piriformis Syndrome
-sciatic nerve through piriformis
-pressure on the sciatic nerve due to muscle spasm,
trigger points, or tightness causing posterior thigh
pain
-other signs and symptoms: pain, limited ROM, pt
tenderness deep to the gluteals
COMMON INJURIES
Trochanteric Bursitis
-cause is abnormal friction or irritation of the bursa
between the IT band and greater trochanter, direct
blow, or improper biomechanics
-usually a sport such as running
-signs and symptoms: local pain, swelling, pt
tenderness, and crepitus over the greater
trochanter
-patient may complain of hip snapping
COMMON INJURIES
Ischial Bursitis
-lies over the ischial tuberosity
-may become painful and inflamed with excessive
friction
-signs and symptoms: pain with sitting, pt
tenderness over ischial tuberosity, pain w/ passive
hip flexion and active/resistive hip extension
-often difficult to differentiate from proximal
hamstring tendinitis
COMMON INJURIES
Hip Joint Sprain
-less common
-excessive forcible exertion of the extremity that stretch
or tear the surrounding ligaments
-signs and symptoms: pain and decrease ROM
COMMON INJURIES
Hip Joint Strains
-resulting from overstretching or from a rapid,
forceful contraction of the muscle
-explosive starts and slipping of the foot during
cutting are common mechanisms for hip flexor
and adductor strains
-these injuries frequently occur during the
beginning of practice and preseason training
-signs and symptoms: pain, pt tenderness, muscle
spasm, swelling, ecchymosis , and decreased ROM
COMMON INJURIES
Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease
-characterized by avascular necrosis of the proximal
femoral epiphysis
-a chronic condition that develops slowly in children
-more often in males than in females
-signs and symptoms: pain in the hip or groin that
radiates to the knee, limping, decreased ROM, and
hip flexor tightness may be noted
-physician should be consulted to rule out serious
pathologies such as this
COMMON INJURIES
Chronic Synovitis
-inflammatory process at the hip that is characterized by
chronic irritation and excess secretion of synovial fluid
within the capsule
-this condition is very difficult to detect
-may lead to avascular necrosis of the femoral head
