The Nonarthritic Hip:An Introduction
By Brittany Popkin, PT, DPT, SCS
What is the anatomy of the hip?○ 3 planes of motion for the osseous structures
■ Ball and socket● Sagittal● Frontal● Transverse
○ 27 muscles○ Ligaments○ Blood supply○ Nerves
What is Nonarthritic hip pain?
According to the 2014 CPG “nonarthritic hip joint pain refers to a collection of hip pain conditions proposed to involve intra-articular structures of the hip, including femoroacetabular impingement, structural instability, labral tears, chondral lesions, and ligamentum teres tears”
NO!
What are the sources of hip pain and dysfunction?
Four Layers to the Hip

The layer concept: Utilization in determining the pain generators, pathology and how structure determines treatment. Curr Rev Musculoskelet Med. 2012;5(1):1–8
Layer 1: Osteochondral
Layer
● Structure:○ Femur, pelvis, acetabulum
● Purpose:○ Joint congruence and
osteo/arthrokinetatics
● Pathology:○ Develomental
■ Dysplasia, femoral version,
acetabular version, femoral
inclincation and acetabular
profunda/protrusio
○ Dynamic
■ Cam/pincer impingement,
trochanteric impingement,
sub-spine impingement and
delamination
Hip X-rays
● AP pelvis○ Tonnis grades for OA
● Dunn (femoral head/neck junction)

Layer 2: Inert Layer
● Structure:○ Capsule, labrum, ligamentous
complex, ligamentum teres
● Purpose:○ Static stability

What is the purpose of the labrum?
What is the purpose of the capsule?
What is the purpose of the Ligamentum Teres?
Creates a suction seal and nutrition
of hip
Increases joint congruency
Stability
Resists motions
Iliofemoral Ligament
Pubofemoral ligament
Ischiofemoral
Stability
Keeps femoral head in socket
Layer 3: Contractile Layer
● Structure:○ Musculature crossing the hip,
lumboscaral muscles, pelvic floor
● Purpose:○ Dynamic stability
● Pathology:○ Hip flexor strain, psoas
impingement, RF impingement,
adductor tendinopathy, rectus
abdominis tendinopathy, prox HS
strain, glute med tear
27 Muscles
● Muscles support and stabilize the lumbo-pelvic complex○ Core canister: TA, multifidus, pelvic floor, diaphragm
● Hip abductors○ Primary: Glute med, min, TFL,○ Secondary: Piriformis, sartorius
● Hip adductors○ Primary: pectineus, add longus, gracilis, add brevis and add magnus○ Secondary: long head biceps femoris, glute max, quadratus femoris
● Hip flexors○ Primary: Iliopsoas, Sartorius, TFL, RF, Add longus, pectineus○ Secondary: add brevis, gracilis, anterior fibers of glur min

Layer 4: Neuromechanical
Layer
● Structure:○ Thoraco-lumbar mechanics, LE
mechanics, Neuro-vascular
structures, regional
mechanoreceptors
● Purpose:○ Communication, timing and
sequencing of kinematic chain
● Pathology:○ Neural
■ Nerve entrapment, referred
spine pathology,
Neuromuscular dysfunction,
pain syndromes
○ Mechanical
■ Foot structure/mechanics,
scoliosis, pelvic posture over
femur, osteitis pubis, SI
dysfunction, pubic symphysis
pathology
Blood Supply to Hip
● Medial and lateral femoral circumflex arteries● Posterior division of obturator artery runs through lig
teres and contributes to blood supply of femoral head● Labrum - not well vascularized
○ Obturator, inferior and superior gluteal arteries
Nerve Endings in the Hip● Type I - Ruffini endings - proprioception
○ Joint capsule, periosteum, ligaments, tendons
○ Respond to stretch and stress in hip
● Type II - Pacinian corpuscles and Meissner Corpuscles - kinesthesia
○ Deep joint capsule and fat pads
○ Not in hip
● Type III - Golgi Endings - proprioception○ Intrinsic and extrinsic ligaments
● Type IV - free nerve endings - pain○ Joint capsule, ligaments, tendons, blood vessels, fat pads
○ Labrum
Kinematic Chain
● Chain has adaptive changes whether the hip is source of the dysfunction or the victim of the dysfunction
● Delayed muscle activation● Top > down● Down >top
1. Nonarthritic HipHip pathologies that relate to:
➔ Instability/Impingement
➔ Labrum, ligamentum teres, joint capsule.
➔ Soft tissue surrounding the hip
➔ Neuromechanical layer
What is a happy hip?
● Instability > Impingement● Not enough support > too much support● Excess ROM > decreased ROM● Both have muscular dysfunctions and kinematic chain
dysfunction
What is Instability?
● Extraphysiologic hip motion○ Causes pain
○ unsteadiness
● Insufficient congruency of femoral head and acetabulum○ Shallow acetabulum, decreased contact area
What is Impingement?● Intraarticular
○ Inside joint capsule
○ CAM
○ Pincer
● Extraarticular○ Outside joint capsule
○ AIIS - subspine impingement
○ GT (varus deformity as seen in
perthes hips)
Hip X-rays
● AP pelvis● Dunn (femoral head/neck
junction)● Determine AA for impingement

Femoral Version
● Retroversion < 8 > Normal < 15 > Anteversion● Amount of rotation of the femur
Coxa Vara vs Coxa Valgus
● Varus angulation (<120 deg)○ Decrease joint reaction forces○ Increase shear forces across
femoral neck○ Shortening of abductor muscles;
limp
● Valgus angulation (>135 deg)○ Increase joint reaction forces○ Decrease shear forces across
femoral neck
● Normal angulation○ 120-135 deg

Cross over sign
● Can be associated with cranial
acetabular retroversion○ pincer FAI○ focal
● True acetabular retroversion :○ posterior wall sign - post wall
of acetabulum sits medial to center of femoral head
○ ischial spine sign -
exaggerated size of ischial spine of AP radiograph medial to pelvic brim
○ Posterior instability c anterior overcoverage

Clin Orthop Relat Res. 2013;471:2463-2470
Coxa profunda and protrusio acetabuli
Profunda - socket is too deep,
circumferential wear pattern
Protrusio - deeper than above,
protrusion of the medial aspect of
acetabulum through iliopectineal line

● Can see where the instability or impingement is
● Presurgical planning tool
What does this mean?
The hip is COMPLEX
2. Things to Ponder
➔ Is the hip the SOURCE of the problem?
➔ Is the hip the SITE of the problem?
➔ Is the hip the SOLUTION to the problem?.
Nonarthritic Hip Pain
Muscle strains
Tendinopathies
Athletic pubalgia
Impingement
Instability
Stress fractures
Bone or soft tissue issue that creates hip pain
Take Home Points
● Have proper education on hip mechanics and compensation patterns
● Seek appropriate medical care - PT, Physician and have appropriate tests, imaging performed
● Experience matters● Based on medical team’s
expertise, have appropriate conservative or surgical intervention performed for increased rate of success
