Q

What is Cervical Spine (ACDF)

A

•Common surgical procedure that is used when other non-surgical treatments have failed
–Treats nerve root or spinal cord compression by decompressing and stabilizing the corresponding vertebrae
•Disc is completely removed as well as the disc material pressing on the spinal nerve
•Intervertebral foramen is enlarged with a drill giving the nerve more room
•Remaining space is filled with a bone graft to stabilize the vertebrae
–Bone graft joining the vertebrae = fusion

Q

Laminectomy Procedure

A

Lumbar Spine
–Performed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots
•Bony obstructions, stenosis & spinal cord impingement
–Posterior arch of vertebra is removed
•Spinal fusion - number of vertebrae excised
•Interbody fusion cages
–Titanium cages filled with bone inserted between vertebral bodies to maintain disk space height & fuse joint

Q

Perform Lumbar Spine (Laminectomy)

A
  • C-arm = determine correct level & provide fluoro guidance for orthopedic plates and/or screws
  • Patient prone
  • Needle is placed @ level of laminectomy
  • Visualized entire spine to determine correct level – verify by C-arm
  • C-arm // to spine to avoid distortion

Q

Lateral Lumbar Spine (Laminectomy)

A

–Rotate C-arm under table
–Place spine in center by raising or lower C-arm
–Angulation may be necessary for true lateral

18
Q

Hip (Proximal Femur) Fractures

A

Femoral neck, intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fxs

•Require ORIF

19
Q

HIP ORIF

A

A long fixator is placed on lateral side of fractured hip and secured with screws through the fixator into femoral head & neck
•Smaller screws are placed below trochanters that transverse shaft of femur

20
Q

Hip fracture need

A

•Special fracture or orthopedic table for traction & fluoro during procedure
•Shower curtain method is utilized
•Fracture is reduced through traction and manipulated (C-arm may need to be adjusted to accommodate)
•Patient is supine with legs abducted and affected leg held in traction
–Radiographer is positioned between patient’s leg

21
Q

Hip fracture Incision is made @

A

Level or just below greater trochanter and guide pins inserted through fracture

22
Q

Femoral neck structures

A

Guide pins are aligned and large screws or some other pin-type device is inserted through fracture

23
Q

C-arm Hip lateral projection

A

X-ray tube inferiorly and image intensifier superiorly & exteriorly above hip

24
Q

Total Hip Replacement (Arthroplasty)

A

•Degenerative disease or chronic trauma to femoral head and/or acetabulum
•Prosthetic hip is utilized to return normal function to patient
•Vary in composition, design & components
–Single-piece or three-piece design
–Stem of prosthesis is cemented into medullary cavity or held by compression plates & screws
•Postoperative images – include entire device

25
Q

Femur Nail is

A

A nail or rod is inserted into the intramedullary canal to reduce a fracture of the shaft

26
Q

Antegrade (insert femur nail through)

A

Greater trochanter or proximal end of long bone

27
Q

Retrograde (insert femur nail through)

A

Popliteal notch or distal end of long bone

28
Q

Femur Nail: Fracture table

A
  • Incision is made proximal or distal to long bone

* Bone reamer is used to widen intramedullary cavity

29
Q

Femur Nail:

Guidewires are inserted & advanced to

A

Fracture site

30
Q

Femur Nail:

C-arm is used to verify location of

A

Guidewires & fracture alignment (PA & lateral perspectives)

31
Q

Femur Nail:

Intramedullary nail or rod is

A

Inserted and screws may be used to hold in place – verify with C-arm

32
Q

Femur Nail - Antegrade

Supine position

A

–Affected leg in traction with unaffected leg flexed @ knee and hip & raised for C-arm to enter
–C-arm positioned between legs & parallel to unaffected hip

33
Q

Femur Nail - Antegrade

Lateral position

A

–Affected extended forward & clears opposite leg

–Enter sterile field & rotate C-arm under table to find PA projection

34
Q

Femur Nail - Retrograde

Supine position

A

–Affected leg exposed with knee flexed & supported (access to notch)
–Enter sterile field with C-arm perpendicular to patient
•Tilt C-arm cephalad and find PA projection
•Rotate C-arm under table for lateral position

35
Q

Perform Femur Nail

•Instruments or hardware may protrude from site
•Center C-arm over fx site during canal reaming to ensure fx remains reduced
•Screws will be inserted into the femur and through nail to fix nail in place
