A
  • Wedge is created on one side of the tibia to correct joint alignment
  • Used to correct unicompartmental disease or angular deformities
30
Q

Unicompartmental Arthroplasty

A

Small implants placed on one side of the tibial plateau and one femoral condyle to make joint smoother/more congruent on involved side of the knee joint.

31
Q

Unicompartmental Arthroplasty Advantages (3)

A
  • Bone conserving
  • Rehab is shorter than TKA
  • Hardware can last up to 8-10 years on average
32
Q

Unicompartmental Arthroplasty Disadvantages

A
  • Obesity increases rate of failure

Q

Name the factors that may confirm the diagnosis of a PE according to the Wells PE prediction rule. (7)

  • Signs/symptoms of DVT
  • PE is the MOST likely diagnosis
  • Pt has has surgery or bedridden for at least 3 days in last 4 wks
  • Previous history of DVT/PE

1-6 weeks after surgery

52
Q

T/F: Dislocation of THA are more common after revisions than when they are implemented the first time.
