Q

THA: Posterolateral Approach

A

(B/w glute max and med)

Adv:

  • Faster ambulation
  • Spares abductors (Hip Abd Pillow ~30*)
    • -> facilitates congruency
  • Wide exposure / visualization

Disadv:

  • Antalgic gait
  • Higher rates of dislocation

THA Satisfaction Predictors

A
  1. Active
  2. Live-in support
  3. Increased PLOF
  4. Outlook
40
Q

THA Research

A
  1. Pre-op Education
    -Less pain / med use
    -Dec LOS / fear and anxiety
  2. Pre-op exercise
  3. Early transfer to inpatient rehab
    -faster achievement of goals
  4. WB Exercise
    -^muscle strength, postural stability, self-perceived
    function
  5. Treadmill BW Support
    -restores symmetrical indep walking
  6. Hip Exercises more stressful to hip than walking
  7. Bent knee functional activities put most stress on hips
  8. Inactive = less wear
    Active = dec fall risk, ^ bone density & prosthesis fixation
