Q

What is a Total arthroplasty?

A

New acetabulum

18
Q

What is a Hemi arthroplasty?

A

Person’s original acetabulum

19
Q

Total Hip Resurfacing (THR) - Advantages

A
  • Moving a lot less bone

- Joint is more stable

20
Q

Resurfacing - Advantages (4)

A
  • Lower dislocation risk
  • Bone conserving
  • Low wear/friction
  • Quicker recovery and return to high demand activity
21
Q

Resurfacing - Disadvantages (4)

A
  • Higher early failure rates
  • Metallosis
  • Technically difficult
  • Little long-term data
  • **Femoral neck fracture
22
Q

Arthroplasty - Advantages (4)

A
  • Well-studied
  • Easier to perform
  • Suitable for wider range of patient populations
  • Better long-term outcomes
23
Q

Arthroplasty - Disadvantages (3)

A
  • Higher dislocation risk
  • More difficult to revise
  • More functionally limiting
24
Q

Posterior-lateral approach PRECAUTIONS (3)

A
  • Avoid adduction beyond neutral
  • Avoid hip flexion > 90 degrees
  • Avoid hip internal rotation
25
Q

Anterior-lateral approach PRECAUTIONS (3)

A
  • Avoid abduction
  • Avoid hip extension
  • Avoid hip external rotation
26
Q

Early Post-op Intervention (Acute and Sub-acute) - THA

A
  • Ice and Positioning
  • Education - precautions
  • Strengthening - AAROM, AROM, strengthening
  • Mobility - bed, transfers, gait, stair, car transfer
27
Q

Late Intervention (Chronic) - THA

A
  • Emphasize functional activities
  • Strengthen hip flexors, extensors, and abductors
  • Include resistance training, if possible
  • Wean from assistive device
  • Limit high impact activity with rotational forces
28
Q

High Tibial Osteotomy - knee

A
  • Surgical realignment of joint
  • Delays TKA
  • Indicated for unicompartmental disease or angular deformity
  • Allows reasonable joint stability and an active lifestyle
29
Q

TKA Ideal patient

A
  • > 60 y/o

- <180 lbs.

30
Q

Risk Factors - TKA

A
  • Obesity
  • Anemia
  • Malnutrition
  • Diabetes
31
Q

TKA Rehab (Acute and Sub-acute)

A
  • Ice and Positioning
  • ROM: 0 of ext. to 90 of flex
  • Strengthening: Isometrics, ankle pumps, heel slides, SAQ, LAQ
  • Mobility training - gait
32
Q

TKA Late Intervention (Chronic)

A
  • Emphasize functional activity
  • Interventions to increase ROM including modalities and soft tissue mobilization
  • Strengthening, muscle control and balance
  • Limit high impact activities with heavy rotational forces
33
Q

Bilateral TKA

A
  • More common than bilateral THA/THR
  • Can be concurrent or staged
  • Should be bilaterally WBAT
  • Longer recovery, may require inpatient rehab
34
Q

Bilateral THA

A
  • Usually staged by at least 1 week, but often > 6 weeks b/w surgeries
  • Increases risk for venous thromboembolism
  • Adherence to bilateral posterior hip precautions is difficult
35
Q

Conventional Shoulder Arthroplasty

A
  • Cemented or un-cemented
  • Indicated for OA and intact RTC
  • Glenoid component omitted if cartilage is intact, bone quality is poor or RTC tendons are irreparably torn
36
Q

Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty

A
  • Normal ball and socket arrangement is switched
  • Allows use of deltoid to lift arm (vs. RTC)
  • Indicated if RTC is fully torn, hx of failed replacement
37
Q

TSA Rehab - Phase 1

A
  • PROM/AAROM
  • Immobilization
  • No AROM or flexion >120, ER >30, Abd >45
38
Q

TSA Rehab - Phase 2

A
  • AAROM/AROM
  • PROM into full ER, flexion <140
  • Initiate AROM
39
Q

TSA Rehab - Phase 3

A
  • AROM/Strength
  • AROM into flexion and ER
  • Strengthen shoulder girdle
  • Avoid overhead activity and forceful stretching
40
Q

Pain Management Types (4)

A
  • PCA - Patient controlled analgesia
  • Epidural - Indwelling
  • Femoral nerve block - Can be indwelling or single injection
  • Oral pain meds - post-op nausea, dizziness, constipation, etc.
