Anterior impingement test: On flexion, adduction, internal rotation of the hip produces pain.Evaluates articular cartilage damage, and labral degeneration and tears.Crossover sign: It is a sign of acetabular retroversion seen in Pincer impingement.Pistol grip deformity: It is asphericity and contour of femoral head and neck indicating Cam impingement.Ficart and Arlet as well as Steinberg classification of avascular necrosis is done radiologically.



May be associated with flexion, adduction and internal rotation deformity.Swelling may be present in the scrotal or perineal area.It is a medical emergency as there is a large amount of blood loss.Bone scan shows increased uptake of radioactivity in region of fracture.Useful for preoperative surgical planning for patients with complex, multifragmentary fractures.Accurate diagnosis of fracture pattern ans aids in classification.Neck of femur fracture must be differentiated from other causes of acute hip pain, restriction of movements, and deformity such as intertorchanteric hip fracture, osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, septic arthritis, trochanteric bursitis, slipped capital femoral epiphysis and acute synovitis.Neck of femur fracture must be differentiated from other causes of acute hip pain, restriction of movements, and deformity such as intertorchanteric hip fracture, osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, septic arthritis, trochanteric bursitis, slipped capital femoral epiphysis and acute synovitis.ĭifferentiating Neck of Femur Fracture from other Diseases
