TJR Flashcards
What are common complications to TJR?
infection dislocation protrusion of prosthesis loosening of prosthesis fracture during or after surgery
What are pre-op assessments?
LLD, MMT, ROM, neuro, functional mobility, gait and assessment outcome measures.
What are some assessment outcome measures?
LEFS
HSS-Hip Society Score
KSS-Knee Society Score
What is the greatest limiter to rehab post-TJR?
pain
What is the therapeutic INR level?
2.0-3.0
What are the main goals for TKA post-op?
restore soft tissue balance optimize biomechanics relieve pain! maximize function improve the quality of life
What are the two types of TKA? which is most common?
cemented (most common) and Non-cemented or porous operation
What is 1 pro, 1 con, and common demographic of cemented TKA?
pro: allow for early WB
con: can deteriorate over time
demo: commonly used in elderly
What is 1 pro, 1 con, and common demographic of porous TKA?
pro: won’t deteriorate over time
con: must be non-WB for a period of time
demo: younger clients
What type of TKA has non-cemented femoral and patella component with cemented tibial component called?
Hybrid TKA
What type of TKA has replaced tibial and femoral component on one side only usually medial called?
Uni-compartmental TKA aka Makoplasty
What type of TKA relies on soft tissue integrity to provide stability called?
Non-constrained TKA
What type of TKA is most common, and it substitutes the PCL?
Semi-constrained TKA
What type of TKA is fully constrained in one or more plane used for severe instability, and has high insidence of loosening?
Fully constrained TKA
What direction of stabilization improves coronal plane stability?
posterior stabilization increases coronal stability
What is the advantage of preserving the PCL during a TKA?
restores normal knee kinematics esp in stair climbing
What is the disadvantage of preserving the PCL during a TKA?
impairs rollback of the femur on the tibia since PCL can be tight, and it also has decreased mechanical advantage of the quads
What are the adequate post TKA ROM?
0-120 degrees, 90 is considered functional and can ambulate with 5-10 flexion contractures.
Knee flexion ROM during: swing phase?
67
Knee flexion ROM during: ascending/descending stairs?
83; 90
Knee flexion ROM during: sitting?
93
Knee flexion ROM during: tying shoes?
106
Knee flexion ROM during: squatting on the floor?
117
What are 6 factors affecting post-op ROM of TKA?
pre-op ROM pre-op tib-fem angle tightness of retained PCL elevation of joint line patellar thickness patient motivation
What are the 4 indicators for manipulation (MUA)
<70 flexion at 2 weeks post-op
<90 flexion at 1 month post-op
progressive loss of flexion
<70 motion at 3 months post-op
