JA Flashcards
(87 cards)
Content: conventional TSA (2)
- Cemented or un-cemented
- Indicated for OA and intact RC
Content: 3 advantages of THA
- Well studied
- Easier to perform
- Suitable for wider range of pt. pops
Defn: Geometric knee
Allows for correction of valgus/varus/flexion deformities
Q: What is the name of the scoring system for DVT and PE?
WELLS score
Q: What are the 3 disadvantages of ceramic on ceramic as a bearing surface for HA?
- Expensive
- Requires expert inseriton technique
- Possible joint noise
Q: What are the 3 disadvantages of cemented fixation for HA?
- Longer operative time
- More difficult to revise
- Potential for adverse reaction to cement
Content: 2 disadvantages of THA
- Higher risk of dislocation (~5%)
- More difficult to revise
Q: Bilateral TKA can be ____________ or ________ and involves _________ recovery, may require ____________ rehab.
concurrent, staged, longer, inpatient
Content: TSA Rehab Phase 2 (4)
- 4-6 wks
- AAROM/AROM
- PROM into full ER, flexion < 140 (not OP)
- Initiate AROM esp into flexion
Q: When did TSA begin?
Early 1950s
Q: When did hip arthroplasty begin?
In the 1820s
Q: Who typically receives THR?
Younger, more active pts.
Q: What is the disadvantage of metal on polyethylene as a bearing surface for HA?
Polyethylene debris may lead to aseptic loosening
Defn: Anametric knee
Separate right and left femoral components with decreasing radii or rotation
Content: Contraindications for JA (5)
- Infection
- Severe or uncontrolled HTN
- Progressive neurological disease
- Dementia (may be considered relative contraindicaiton)
- Latent renal or respiratory insufficiency (may be considered relative contraindicaiton)
Q: TKA complication of infection - ~______% risk in 1st 2 years, cumulative risk of _____% over 10 years, _________ site or _____ peri-prosthetic, ~____% assocaited with MRSA.
1.8, 2.47, surgical, deep, 20
Content: Early Post-Op THA Intervention (Acute & Sub-Acute) (7)
- Ice and positioning
- Education - PRECAUTIONS
- Strengthening (AAROM, AROM, isometrics, SAQ, LAQ, ankle pumps)
- Mobility (bed, transfers, tait, stairs, car transfer)
- Edema management
- Equipment recommendations
- DC planning/recommendations
Q: What is the difference between a total and hemi hip arthroplasty?
Total = femoral head and acetabulum replaced
Hemi = femoral head only replaced
T/F: With THA you should progress to CC and functional activities as soon as possible.
True
T/F: Adherence to bilateral posterior hip precautions is difficult.
True
Q: What does R for TKR stand for?
Resurfacing
Content: Unicompartmental Arthroplasy is ideally indicated for… (6)
- Fexion > 90,
- Full extension
- < 15 varus/valgus deformity
- Mobile patella
- Intact tibial plateau/femoral condyles
- Satisfactory ligamentous stability
Content: Late THA Intervention (chronic) (5)
- Emphasize functional activities
- Strengthen hip flexors, extensors, and abductors
- Include resistance training if possible
- Wean from AD if appropriate
- Limit high impact actiivty or activities with rotational forces
Q: Who is unicompartmental arthroplasty used on?
Often older, lower demand pts.; increasingly used in younger pops.
