A

most due to:

I dont

31

  • traumatic complications
  • load, repetition, frequency, risk of fall, risk of contact
32
Q

return to activity

  • start slowly, build stamina
  • minimize joint loading
  • no jumping

35
Q

Types of knee arthroplasties

A
  • Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty
  • TKA: 90% cases successful, survivorship 12-13 years, newer polyethylene approach (20 years)
  • LPS- Flex Fixed Bearing Knee (Hi-Flex TKA)
  • LPS- Flex Mobile Bearing Knee (Hi-Flex TKA)
36
Q

knee flexion activities that require less than 120 degrees

A

sitting
walking
stairs

37
Q

knee flexion activities that require more than 120 degrees

A

sitting criss cross apple sauce
kneeling
gardening I guess

38
Q

advantages of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UCKA)

A
  • replace only diseased bone (preservation of bone stock, more normal kinematics because cruciate preserved)
  • decreased blood loss and extent of surgery
  • feels more like a normal knee
  • greater arc of motion
  • shortened hospitalization
  • normalized giat
  • mobile UCKA
39
Q

arc of motion of UCKA vs TKA

A
  • UCKA: 0-135
  • TKA: 0-120
40
Q

UCKA indications

A
  • osteoarthritis
  • single compartment disease (most often medial)
  • activity and rest pain
  • > 120 degrees ROM
  • No instability: ACL INTACT
  • Age: usually <55 years
  • Informed patient
41
Q

if a patient does not have an ACL can they have UCKA

A

N O N O N O N O N O
NO

42
Q

LPS-Flex Fixed and Mobile Bearing Knee (Hi-Flex TKA)

A

TKAs designed to mechanically sustain the loads during flexion angles up to 155 degrees and to accommodate patients tat have the requirements, need and ability to continue their flexible lifestyle

(younger, more active)

43
Q

Considerations for Hi-Flex TKA

A
  • patients activity level
  • need for high flexion
  • adherence to rehabilitation
  • surgeons judgement that the patient will flex beyond 125 post op
44
Q

LPS-Flex Mobile Bearing Knee

A

beneficial for active patients, preferable for those who have the desire and ability to kneel, squat or sit cross-legged

45
Q

Parameters for Hi-Flex TKA patient

A

younger
more active
more flexible to begin with

46
Q

TKA general guidelines - max protection phase

A
  • control pain and swelling
  • achieve independent ambulation and transfers using AD
  • prevent early post op complications
  • regain quads strength and improve knee ROM
47
Q

TKA general guidelines - mod protection phase

A
  • achieve approx 110 flex and 0 ext
  • regain LE strength and muscular endurance, balance, cardio endurance
48
Q

TKA general guidelines - min protection phase

A
  • task specific strengthening
  • proprioceptive and balance training
  • advanced functional training
49
Q

what a PT should know from surgeon

A
  • ligament stability
  • soft tissue status
  • extensor mechanism integrity
  • intraoperative ROM
50
Q

key point in rehab - emphasize terminal ext ROM

A
  • when possible measure in prone
  • quiet standing is energy efficient
  • instancing, WB line falls slightly ant to axis of knee
51
Q

TKA - knee flex contracture

A
  • excessive load on femoral and polyethylene components
  • increased quads force during WB
  • 30 degree flex contracture = quads demand rises to 50% of max contractile effort
  • impaired endurance
  • impaired function clinically
52
Q

TKA ROM loss etiology

A
  • pre op ROM
  • underlying disease (RA)
  • primary vs revision TKA
  • post op pain
  • CRPS
  • Aseptic loosening or infection
  • arthrofibrosis
  • technical errors
53
Q

ROM loss results in

A
  • altered gait mechanics
  • quads fatigue
  • increased VO2 demand
  • hip/back discomfort
  • unhappy patient/poor outcome
54
Q

TKA reg flags

A
  • no increase in ext range
  • hard end feel in flexion
  • increase co-contraction of Q+H
55
Q

Patellar instability post TKA
