Final Exam Flashcards
Osteoarthritis Primary Changes
- Loss of Cartilage
- Remodeling of Bone
- Osteophytes
Osteoarthritis affects who the most?
- > 65
- Women
Osteoarthritis: Knee exam findings
- Decreased ROM
- Crepitus
- Deformity
- Effusion
Osteoarthritis: Hip exam findings
- Loss of IR
- Loss of ABD
- Leg Length changes
- Trandelenberg gait
Osteoarthritis: Radiograph findings
- weight bearing
- narrowing
- osteophytes
- cysts
- deformity
Inflammatory: Possible problems
- RA
- Lupus
- Psoriatic arthritis
- Ankylosing Spondylitis
- Poor bone
- On steroids
- Multiple joint involvement
- Less responsive to PT
- Significant deformity
- High complications and infection
- Cervical spine involvement in RA
- Stiffness in AS
- UE involvement in RA-platform walker
- Severe valgus deformity
Osteonecrosis: Need to Know
- Primary in HIP
- 10% of THA due to necrosis
- 80% Bilateral
- MRI is 99% sensitive and specific
Osteonecrosis: Causes
- Alcohol abuse
- Steroids
- Irradiation
- Idiopathic
Femoroacetabular Impingement: Need to Know
- 2nd to arthritis
- Repetitive problem due to structure abnormalities
- CAM = Young Males
- Pincer = Young Females
- LABRAL Tears
Femoroacetabular Impingement: Treatment
- Arthroscopy
- Pelvic Osteotomy
- THA
Osteoarthritis: Medical Management
- NSAIDS
- Acetaminophen
- PT/HEP
- Glucosamine/Chondrotin
- Activity modification
- Exercise Program
- Knee sleeve
- Injections
- TJR when ALL ELSE FAILS
TKA: Goal
- Restore normal alignment
- Improve Function
- Decrease pain
TKA: Gold Standard
Cemented
TKA: need to know
- Pre-op ROM = >post-op ROM
- Goal = 0-115
- 95% last >10 years
- Immediate WB
- Knee noise
- 1 year for full recovery
TKA: Post-op
- NO running / jumping
- CAN cross legs
- CAN kneel
Partial Knee Replacement: Contraindications
- Inflammatory Arthritis / RA
- Absent ACL
- Obesity
- Lateral Patellofemoral wear
THA: Approaches
- Direct Anterior
- Direct Lateral
- Posterior
THA: Anterior approach
- Quick recovery (2-4 weeks)
- LOW risk for dislocation
- Femoral N. injury/pain
- Higher blood loss
THA: Lateral approach
- Low dislocation rate
- Heterotropic ossification
- better for potential future surgery
- LIMP
THA: Posterior approach
Higher risk of dislocation
THA: need to know
- non cemented more common
- Similar recovery (6 weeks)
- Anterior approach very difficult (1 surgeon)
THA: Complications
- Heterotropic ossification
- Vascular injury <1%
- Dislocation 1-3%
- Infection 1-2%
- DVT
THA: Take Home Points
- WBAT
- ROM and Strength will return
- Cane in opp.
- Leg Length Discrepancy <7mm
- Precautions only within 3 months
Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty
Break of Femoral neck
