25
What are precautions for anterior-lateral approach?
AVOID: abduction, hip extension, hip external rotation | Patients may assume they have posterior precautions based on their own "research" or the experiences of friends/family
26
If a dislocation is going to occur when will it most likely happen?
60-70% of dislocation occur within 6 weeks of surgery
27
What is incidence of dislocation?
0.3-10% for primary THA procedures | may increase to as much as 28% with revision
28
What are risk factors for dislocation?
neuromuscular impairment, cognitive dysfunction, fracture, history of surgery, posterior approach, small femoral head size, prosthetic alignment, surgeon experience
29
What happens in the event of recurrent dislocation?
spica brace may be required may also require weight bearing restrictions and strict movement precautions education,ADL, and home evaluation communication with patient, family, medical team
30
What are survival statistics for the prosthetic?
failure rate of <1% per year 90-95% survive 10 years 85% survive 20 years
31
What are factors associated with increased risk of revision?
younger age, male sex, multiple comorbidities, avascular necrosis (vs. osteoarthritis), femoral head size (?)
32
Is there evidence that PT helps after JA?f
insufficient evidence exists to establish the effectiveness of physiotherapy exercise following primary hip replacement for osteoarthritis
33
What are early post op interventions (acute and sub-acute)?
ice and positioning education: PRECAUTIONS strengthening: AAROM, AROM (isometrics, heel slides, SAQ, LAQ, ankle pumps, abduction (?), caution with SLR) Progress to closed chain and functional activities ASAP Mobility: bed mobility, transfers, gait training, stair training, car transfer training or simulation (** MUST emphasize adherence to appropriate precautions during these activities) edema management equipment recommendations discharge planning/recommendations
34
What are late (chronic) interventions?
emphasize functional activities strengthen hip flexors, extensors, and abductors include resistance training if possible wean from assistive device, if appropriate limit high impact activity or activities with rotational forces
35
What are the outcomes for return to function?
approximately 80% of function is recovered within 8 months 90% report satisfactory outcomes at 10 years as many as 60% return to athletic activities within 3 years
36
What is high tibial osteotomy?
``` surgical alignment of joint delays TKA (estimated gain of 9 years) indicated for unicompartmental disease or angular deformity allows reasonable joint stability and an active lifestyle ```
37
When is unicompartmental arthroplasty used?
Indicated if- flexion >90, full extension, <15 varus or valgus deformity, mobile patells, intact tibial plateau and femoral condyles, and satisfactory ligamentous stability ideal for ends of spectrum- older, lower demand patients, younger populations
38
What are advantages/disadvantages of unicompartmental arthroplasty?
obesity is associated with high failure rates bone conserving procedure benefits younger patients post-operative rehab is shorter than TKA 8-10 year survival of hardware
39
When are TKAs normally done?
patient ideally >60 years old body weight ideally <180 lbs. aware of potential risks vs. benefits
40
What are two possible complications of TKA?
infection and VTE
41
Where and when does infection occur in TKA?
approx. 1.8% risk in first two years cumulative risk of 2.47% over ten years surgical site or deep peri-prosthetic approx. 20% associated with methicillin-resistant bacteria
42
What are risk factors for infection with TKA?
obesity, malnutrition, anemia, diabetes
43
What are statistics of people getting a VTE with and without prophylaxis?
Without: up to 60% will develop DVT, up to 20% will develop PE With: up to 5% will develop DVT, <1% will develop PE
44
What are risk factors for VTE?
BMI >25, COPD, atrial fibrillation, anemia, depression, history of DVT
45
What is a better predictor of DVT? PE?
Wells score. not homans sign 80-90% sensitivity, a lot of false positives Wells score for PE, validated for OP
46
What is rehab for TKA (acute and sub acute)?
ice and positioning (possible use of CPM is patient can't participate in any therapy) ROM: discharge goal of 0 extension to 90 flexion, includes PROM/AAROM, must document knee ROM strengthening: isometrics, ankle pumps, heel slides, SAQ, LAQ (with assist), SLR Progress to closed chain, functional activities ASAP mobility: gait training with emphasis on normalizing gait to reinforce/achieve normal and functional knee ROM education: WBing precautions, gait quality edema and pain management discharge planning and recommendations
47
What is plan for late (chronic) intervention?
emphasize functional activity interventions to increase ROM including modalities and soft tissue mobilization strengthening, muscle control and balance limit high impact activities or activities with heavy rotational forces
48
Is it possible to have multiple surgeries and revisions?
Bilateral TKA: more common than bilateral THA/THR, can be concurrent or staged, should be bilaterally WBAT (hopefully), longer recovery, may require inpatient rehab
49
How do you stage of bilateral THA?
usually staged by at least 1 week, but often >6 weeks between surgeries increase risk for VTE adherence to bilateral posterior hip precautions is difficult
50
How popular is shoulder arthroplasty?
initiatied in early 50s primarily for severe shoulder fractures approx. 23,000 TSA each year (compared to 400,000 TKAs and THAs) consists of humeral component and (optional) glenoid component
51
What is conventional type of TSA?
cemented or uncemented indicated for OA and intact RTC glenoid component omitted if cartilage is intact, bone quality is poor, or RTC tendons are irreparably torn
52
What is reverse type of TSA?
normal ball and socket arrangement is switched allows use of deltoid to lift arm (vs. RTC) indicated if RTC is fully torn, cuff tear arthropathy is present, or hx of failed replacement
53
What is phase 1 of TSA rehab?
PROM/AAROM (2-4 weeks) immobilization no AROM of flexion >120, ER >30, or abd >45
54
What is phase 2 of TSA rehab?
AAROM/AROM (4-6 weeks) PROM into full ER, flexion <140 (no overpressure) initiate AROM, especially into flexion
55
What is phase 3 of TSA rehab?
AROM/strength (8-12 weeks) AROM into flexion and ER strengthen shoulder girdle avoid overhead activity and forceful stretching >140 flexion, 45 ER, horizontal adduction beyond neutral
56
What are options for pain management?
PCA: patient controlled analgesia Epidural: indwelling Femoral nerve blocks: can be indwelling or single injection Oral pain medications: often contribute to post-op nausea, dizziness, constipation, etc.
57
What are the areas of priority with fast track recovery?
preoperative education nutritional supplementation pain management early mobilization
58
What is the point of pre-op education in fast track recovery?
reduces pre-op anxiety and pain reduces pos-op pain medication use may reduce length of stay
59
What is point of nutritional supplementation fast track recovery?
malnutrition associated with infection, delayed wound healing, increased LOS and rehab time, and mortality peri-operative anemia associated with infection and increased LOS
60
What is the point of managing pain with fast track recovery?
evidence supports use of spinal anesthesis and NSAIDs combined with acetaminophen peripheral nerve blocks increase risk of muscle weakness and falls anesthetic wound infiltration appears to be effective for TKA
61
How does early mobilization and activity play a role in fast track recovery?
earlier, higher intensity physical activity (including strength) activities should be prescribed according to physiological principles activities should be targeted to documented deficits, well described, and limited in number
62
What does evidence say about fast track recovery?
``` more rapid return to function reduced opioid consumption shorter length of stay reduced risk of blood transfusion reduced mortality no change in rates of readmission, falls, or adverse events ```
