23
Q

IF conservative treatment does not work for GHJ arthritis ________ may be performed before considering a TSA

manipulation under anesthesia (MUA)

24
Q

post-manipulation under anesthesia:

arm is kept….

emphasis on ___ and ____ in 90 deg or higher abducted position

A

arm is kept in elevated overhead abduction and external rotation position

emphasis on ER and IR

25
Q

indications for a TSA (5)

A

severe deterioration of one or both surfaces of the GH joint

  • pain
  • loss of shoulder mobility or stability and UE strength
  • loss of UE function

26
Q

3 types of shoulder arthroplasty:

A
  • total shoulder arthroplasty
  • hemiarthroplasty
  • reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA)
27
Q

type of shoulder arthroplasty: used when the articular surface and underlying bone of the humeral head have deteriorated but glenoid fossa is reasonably intact (only replace the humeral head)

A

hemiarthroplasty

28
Q

characterized by the development of dense adhesions, capsular thickening, and capsular restrictions
