Hip Arthroplasty Flashcards
indications for an arthroplasty
hip OA, RA, some fx, osteonecrosis, tumors
what is the difference between a cemented and non-cemented arthroplasty
cemented is porous and can be loose in the clinic, more of a mirror image of bone
what is a primary THA
replacement of femoral stem and acetabulum
- acetabular cup, head & neck of femur
hemiarthroplasty
- replacement of femoral stem
- typically used when ORIF is not possible or likely to be successful
components of hemiarthroplasty
- head & neck of femur
- bipolar vs unipolar
hip resurfacing arthroplasty
- RA, osteoarthropy
- replacement of acetabulum and articular surface of femoral head
- typically used for young, active patients
components of hip resurfacing arthroplasty
acetabular cap or femoral cap
revision arthroplasty
- replacement of pre-existing components
- indicated with complications of initial procedure (recurrent dislocations, infxn, fixation loss, etc.)
who is more likely to get a revision arthroplasty
males 3x more
hip precautions for revision
typically global precautions - anterior and posterior
surgical approach for posterior hip replacement
- incision posterior to greater trochanter
- TFL incised, glute max split, short ER detached
what is the advantage of posterior hip approach
hip abductors are not disrupted
disadvantage for posterior hip approach
higher risk of dislocation
post-op precautions limiting for ADLs
posterior hip approach dislocation precautions
no flexion >90 deg
no adduction past neutral
no IR past neutral
direct lateral surgical approach
incision along greater trochanter
release of anterior glute med and min
