The Ely test is a hands-on physical exam maneuver used to assess flexibility of the front thigh muscle group. It is most commonly used to screen for tightness in the rectus femoris, a quadriceps muscle that crosses the hip and knee. Clinicians may use it when evaluating hip pain, anterior thigh discomfort, or movement limitations. It is frequently performed in orthopedics, sports medicine, and physical therapy exams.

Effusion present MRI is a common phrase in radiology reports. It means the MRI showed extra fluid inside or around a joint. It is often noted when imaging the hip, knee, shoulder, ankle, or elbow. Clinicians use it to help explain pain, swelling, stiffness, or limited motion.

Effusion present means there is extra fluid inside or around a joint. It is a clinical and imaging phrase commonly used in radiology reports and exam notes. It does not name a disease by itself. It describes a finding that clinicians interpret along with symptoms, labs, and imaging details.

DVT after hip surgery means a blood clot forms in a deep vein after a hip operation. It is most often discussed after hip replacement, hip fracture surgery, or major hip reconstruction. Clinicians use the term to describe a recognized postoperative complication and its prevention and detection. It matters because some clots can travel to the lungs and become more dangerous.

Dunn view is a specialized hip X-ray view that shows the front part of the femoral head and neck more clearly than a standard pelvis X-ray. It is commonly used in orthopedics and sports medicine to evaluate hip shape and sources of hip pain. Clinicians often request it when femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is suspected. It is a diagnostic imaging view, not a treatment.

Dunn 90 view is a specialized hip X-ray view taken with the hip flexed to about 90 degrees. It is designed to better show the shape of the femoral head and neck (the “ball” and the nearby bone). Clinicians commonly use it when evaluating hip pain, reduced motion, or suspected femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). It is one of several “lateral” hip projections that complement a standard front-view pelvis X-ray.

Dunn 45 view is a specialized X-ray view of the hip. It uses a specific leg and hip position to better show the femoral head–neck junction. It is commonly used in orthopedics and sports medicine when evaluating hip pain. It is often discussed in the context of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and related hip conditions.

Dynamic hip screw fixation is a surgical method used to stabilize certain hip and upper femur (thigh bone) fractures. It uses a large screw placed into the femoral head connected to a side plate on the femur. It is commonly used for many intertrochanteric hip fractures (breaks just below the femoral neck).

Dynamic hip screw is a metal implant used to stabilize certain hip fractures. It is most commonly used for fractures near the top of the thigh bone (proximal femur). It combines a large “sliding” screw with a side plate that attaches to the femur. Its design allows controlled compression at the fracture while maintaining alignment.

DHS most commonly refers to a **Dynamic Hip Screw**. It is an orthopedic implant used to stabilize certain **proximal femur (upper thigh bone)** fractures. It combines a large screw in the femoral head with a side plate along the femur. It is commonly used in hip fracture surgery, especially around the trochanteric region.
