EP130 - Hip Dislocation and Arthritis in A Middle Aged Man

This podcast is based on clinical scenarios from the official AMC Handbook of Clinical Assessment published by the Australian Medical Council. All cases are used solely for study and discussion. We provide personal learning insights and clinical interpretations to support AMC candidates in developing their clinical reasoning skills. The AMC Handbook is the intellectual property of the Australian Medical Council. To access the official material, please visit the AMC website. This episode outlines a clinical scenario for a 35-year-old male who suffered a posterior hip dislocation five years prior due to a motor vehicle accident. The patient's injury was successfully treated, and he has since been symptom-free, presenting for a routine checkup. The core task involves a comprehensive hip examination to assess for any signs of post-dislocation complications, specifically looking for early indicators of osteoarthritis or avascular necrosis. The provided instructions guide the examiner through a detailed physical assessment, including specific tests like the Trendelenburg test, range of motion assessments, and neurological checks, to ensure a thorough evaluation of the hip joint's current function and stability.#AMC #OSCE #ClinicalReasoning #MedicalEducation #IMGs #AustralianMedicalCouncil #HipDislocation #Orthopedics #HipArthritis #PosteriorDislocation #MVAInjury #JointHealth #SciaticNerve #ChronicPain #LongTermCare
