Q

what is the difference between a cemented and non-cemented arthroplasty

A

cemented is porous and can be loose in the clinic, more of a mirror image of bone

Q

revision arthroplasty

A
  • replacement of pre-existing components

- indicated with complications of initial procedure (recurrent dislocations, infxn, fixation loss, etc.)

Q

advantaages for direct lateral approach

A

decreased risk for dislocation

17
Q

disadvantages for direct lateral approach

A

prolonged hip abductor weakness

greater risk for HO

18
Q

direct lateral dislocation precautions

A

varies

avoid active hip abduction

19
Q

anteriolateral procedure approach

A

accessed btw TFL & glut med

20
Q

direct anterior procedure approach

A

accessed btw TFL & rectus femoris/sartorius tendons

21
Q

advantages of anterior & anteriolateral

A

ADLs less affected by dislocation precautions

decreased risk for dislocation

22
Q

disadvantages for anterior & anteriolateral

A

prolonged hip abd weakness if anterior glut med released for access

23
Q

post op precautions for anterior & anteriolateral

A

no hyperextension

no ER past neutral

24
Q

transtrochanteric surgical procedure

A

lateral incision

osteotomy of greater trochanter

25
Q

advantages of transtrochanteric

A

preserves attachment of hip abd

26
Q

disadvantages of transtrochanteric

A

WB limitations until bony union
risk for non-union
prolonged hip abd weakness

27
Q

post-op precautions for transtrochanteric

A
no active hip abd
WB restrictions (TDWB or PWB)
28
Q

what is a potential post-op complication for THA

A

DVT

PE

29
Q

Well’s criteria for DVT

A
  • predict extremity for DVT
30
Q

values for Well’s criteria for DVT

A

/= 3: high probability of DVT

31
Q

potential post-op complications

A

infection, dislocation, hardware failure, mechanical loosening, fx, nerve injury, vascular injury, leg length, discrepancy

32
Q

what are some outcome predictors that increases prognosis

A
  • lower pre-op WOMAC scores
  • pre-op knee extensor strength
  • TUG score <10 at 14 wks post-op
  • younger age
  • male sex
33
Q

what are some outcome predictors that decreases prognosis

A
  • greater number of comorbidities
  • higher BMI
  • increased age
  • female sex
34
Q

predictors for long term use of AD

A
  • greater age >69yrs
  • female sex
  • high BMI
  • depression
