Q

4 types of TSA prosthetic desgins

A
  • unconstrained
  • semiconstrained
  • reverse ball and socket
  • constrained
2
Q

Which TSA designs allows for the greatest freedom of motion?

A

unconstrained

3
Q

Does the RC have to be intact for an unconstrained design?

A

yes it must be

4
Q

Does the RC have to be intact for a semiconstrained design?

A

It may be mildly impaired prior to repair

5
Q

Describe a reversed ball and socket

A

The glenoid is ball shaped and the humerus is the socket component

6
Q

What is the purpose of a reverse TSA?

A

It provides stability for RC deficient shoulders that cannot be repaired

7
Q

Describe the constrained TSA design

A

it provides the greatest amount of stability due to its fixed fulcrum ball and socket design

8
Q

Which TSA design is rarely used and why?

A

constrained because of its high rate of loosening and failure of components

9
Q

What is the major difference between a TSA and rTSA?

A

In a rTSA the deltoid becomes the primary mover of the GH joint because the RC is torn.
In a TSA, functioning RC muscles move the GH joint.

10
Q

What are 3 physiological complications after TSA?

Pulmonary embolism
DVT
Infection

Q

What are 4 anatomic complications after TSA?

Elbow flexed to 90

Shoulder flexed 10-20 with slight abduction and IR

13
Q

What 7 things should you avoid after a TSA

A
  • end-range stretching (especially to subscapularis)
  • AROM in antigravity position

Q

A

6 weeks

15
Q

Which aspect of the capsule should you avoid stress to after a TSA?

anterior

Avoid hyperextension and abduction

16
Q

Which 2 muscles should you concentrate on the most after TSA?

A

Serratus anterior and trapezius

17
Q

What are the 4 criteria to advance to the moderate phase after a TSA?

A
  • 90 degrees of passive elevation
  • 45 degrees of ER
  • 70 degrees of IR in the plane of the scapula with minimum pain; or full, PROM with little to no pain
  • NO subscapularis tendon pain with resisted, isometric IR
18
Q

What are the 5 criteria to advance to the minimum phase after a TSA?

A
  • at least 130-140 degrees of PROM shoulder flexion
  • at least 120 degrees of PROM abduction
  • 60 degrees pain free PROM ER
  • 70 degrees PROM IR
  • Strength of rotator cuff and deltoid muscles 4/5
19
Q

What is the keystone to the rehab process after a TSA?

A

POSTURAL CORRECTION

20
Q

What motions should be avoided for 12 weeks following a rTSA?

A

shoulder extension past neutral and the combination of shoulder adduction and internal rotation

*This motion causes dislocation

21
Q

Which RC muscle is the most commonly torn?

A

Supraspinatus

22
Q

If a RC tear is greater than _ cm a surgical repair is pursued

A

3

23
Q

When is the maximum protection phase for a RC repair?

A

anywhere from 3-8 weeks post-op (depending on size of tear)

24
Q

What type of exercises can be performed during the maximum protection phase?

A

pendulum and PROM exercises only

25
Q

Why is PROM performed in the supine position during the maximum protection phase?

A

It offers scapular stabilization and also tends to decrease trap from firing

26
Q

What else could PT concentrate on for early rehab post-RC repair?

A

POSTURAL REHAB

27
Q

When does the moderate phase of RC repair rehab begin?

A

6-12 weeks post-operatively

28
Q

What are the 3 criteria to progress to the moderate phase of rehab following a RC repair?

A
  • Well healed incision
  • Minimal pain with AAROM of shoulder
  • Progressive improvement in ROM
29
Q

Name 3 type of exercises that would be appropriate in the moderate protection phase of a RC repair

A
  • Wand/Cane
  • Towel
  • Pulleys

*light weight bearing activities (ball on wall)

30
Q

When does the minimum phase of RC repair rehab begin?

A

12-16 weeks post-op

31
Q

What are the 3 criteria to progress to the minimum phase of rehab following a RC repair?

A
  • Full, pain-free PROM
  • Progressive improvement of shoulder strength and muscular endurance
  • Stable GH joint
32
Q

Rank the following in importance following a RC repair; stability, mobility, strength

A

Stability must come first; mobility second; strength third

33
Q

What occurs during a Bankart repair?

A

Reattachment of the labrum to the glenoid lip

34
Q

Where does a SLAP tear occur?

A

Where the long head of the biceps tendon anchors to the labrum
