23
Q

What is the PT rx for age-related joint changes?

A
  • POLICED
  • Modalities for pain/inflammation
    > no more than 2 weeks, only short term pain influence
24
Q

What can we use an AD for with age-related joint changes in the hip?

A
  • to minimize/avoid limping
25
Q

What can we educate the patient on with age-related joint changes in the hip?

A
  • limit hip flexion < 90˚
    > avoid low seats and sit on a wedge
    > no knee to chest stretched
  • weight management
26
Q

What are JM for with age-related joint changes in the hip?

A

cartilage integrity and mobility

27
Q

What techniques must be used with JM for arjc in the hip?

A
  • thrust techniques and stretches need to be incorporated in addition to non-thrust techniques and ADDED TO EXERCISE
28
Q

What can JM do for age-related joint changes in the hip?

A
  • better than usual care out to 1 year
  • moderate support
29
Q

What is MET for with age-related joint changes in the hip?

A
  • mobility, cartilage integrity, and muscle function
30
Q

What is MET effective for with age-related joint changes in the hip?

A
  • improving pain and function
    > better than usual care out to 1 year
31
Q

What can be beneficial with MET for age-related joint changes in the hip?

A
  • aerobic component
  • including trunk and hip anti-gravity muscle groups
  • balance training as WBing is tolerated
32
Q

How often should we do MET for age-related joint changes in the hip?

A

1-5x. a week for 6-12 weeks

33
Q

What is there insufficient evidence with for age-related joint changes in the hip?

A
  • chondrotinin and Glucosamine supplements
  • hyaluronic acid injections - synvisc
34
Q

What is the pre-op PT purposes for a Total Hip Arthroplasty?

A
  • assistive devices
  • planning for recovery, such as initial HEP
  • expectation management
35
Q

How many sessions is pre-op PT for a THA?

A

usually 1-2 sessions

36
Q

What is positive about pre-op PT for THA?

A

Cost reduction vs. no pre-op PT

37
Q

What are the incisions for THAs relative to?

A

The greater trochanter

38
Q

What kind of approaches are there for THAs?

A
  • anterolateral approach
  • posterolateral approach
39
Q

What should we know about the anterolateral approach for THA?

A
  • no trauma to anti-gravity musculature but smaller view
  • mini / smaller incision with same components so takes more MD skill
40
Q

What should we know about the posterolateral approach for THAs?

A
  • larger view but trauma to anti-gravity muscles
  • more common
41
Q

What are surgical considerations with THAs?

A
  • cut capsule/extra-capsular ligaments
  • forces and cut adjacent structures
  • dislocate and replace hip
  • stitch capsule and cut muscles
  • full range under anesthesia
42
Q

What prosthetics are used with THAs?

A
  • acetabulum is rasped out and the head of the femur is cut off
  • metals, ceramics, plastics
43
Q

How are the prosthetics fixated?

A

Cemented

44
Q

What are some complications with THAs?

A
  • arthroplasty related readmission: heterotrophic ossification (1-5%)
45
Q

What is arthroplasty related readmission: heterotrophic ossification?

A
  • formation of bone in abnormal locations due to disease and/or direct trauma
  • AKA as myositis ossificans if bone grows into muscle
46
Q

Why are painful PROM/JM with abrupt end feels contraindicated with THA?

A

bone on bone

47
Q

What is a hemiarthroplasty of the hip?

A
  • replace head without replacing acetabulum
48
Q

Wha kind of patient is a hemiarthrplasty usually used for?

A

non-arthritic patient like with Legg-Calve-Perthes disease

49
Q

What are we NOT trying to improve with MET after a THA?

A

Cartilage integrity

50
Q

What are traditional precautions after a THA?

A
  • avoid hip flexion last 90˚
  • avoid hip adduction past neutral
  • avoid rotation
51
Q

What kind of rotation was thought to have been needed to be avoided after a THA with traditional precautions?

A
  • IR past neutral with a posterolateral incision
  • ER past neutral with anterolateral incision
52
Q

Why were these THA traditional precautions initially implemented?

A

due to dislocation concerns

53
Q

What percentage of THAs dislocate?

A

less than .5%

54
Q

With recent research, what precautions are there with an anterior approach THA?

A
  • no precautions, no increased incidence of dislocations
55
Q

How many dislocations were there with an anterior approach THA with no precautions?

A
  • 4/2600 hips
  • at an average of 5 days and no later than 12 days
56
Q

What should we know with dislocations with THAs of either approach?

A
  • greater in precaution group
  • no precaution group progressed faster with function
57
Q

What is the prognosis with a THA?

A

6-8 months post-op physical functioning had generally recovered to about 80% of that of controls
