Q

Anterior THA Approach (Smith-Peterson)

A
  • incision made anterior and distal to the ASIS
  • no muscles are detached

Q

Traditional Anterolateral THA Approach (Watson-Jones)

Study These Flashcards
A
  • incision centered over the greater trochanter
  • anterior 1/3 of gluteus medius and minimus is released and reattached
  • enternal rotators usually left intact
  • potentially jeopardizes superior gluteal nerve
  • anterior capsulotomy and repair
21
Q

Minimally Invasive or Muscle Sparing Anterolateral THA Approach

Study These Flashcards
A
  • incision from anterior tubercle of greater trochanter toward 6cm posterior of ASIS
  • no muscles are detached
22
Q

Lateral or Tranctrochanteric THA Approach

Study These Flashcards
A
  • osteotomy of greater tochanter at insertion of gluteus medius and minimus
  • anterior capsulotomy and dislocation
  • greater trochanter and reattched and wired in place at completion
  • allows for good visualization of anterior and posterior hip and full view of acetabulum
23
Q

Posterolateral THA approach

Study These Flashcards
A

-does not affect the gluteal med

24
Q

Posterior THA Approach

Study These Flashcards
A

highest rate of dislocation

25
Hip joint resurfacing
- femoral head is not removed, but is trimmed and capped with smooth metal covering - damaged bone and cartilage within socket is removed and replaced with a metal shell
26
Hip joint resurfacing advantages
- easier to revise - decreased risk of hip dislocation - more normalized gait - greater hip ROM
27
Hip joint resurfacing disadvantages
- femoral neck fracture - metal ion risk - more difficult operation - larger incision required than THA
28
Inflammatory phase of healing for bone:
1-7 days
29
Soft Callus formation for bone
2-3 weeks
30
Hard callus formation for bone
3-4 months
31
Remodeling for bone
up to one year s/p injury or surgery
32
Inflammatory phase for tendon/ligament
3-5 days
33
Proliferative for tendon/ligament
3-21 days (tissue is at its weakest)
34
Remodeling phase for ligaments and tendons
ligaments start at 21 days, tendons are closer to day 42
35
In what phase is the tissue the weakest?
proliferative phase because new fibers are not organized
36
Maximum protection phase
- decrease post-op pain - educate patient on precautions - incision care - DVT prevention - CPM/AAROM - muscle setting exercises at immobilized joint - AROM and resistive ROM to unoperated areas - functional mobility
37
Moderate protection/controlled motion phase
- exercise program:adjustments as needed - restore joint mobility: AAROM or AROM within limits of pain - establishing a mobile scar: gentle massage - Strengthen-Improve joint stability: Multiple angle isometrics; alternating isometrics and rhythmic stabilization procedures, dynamic exercise against light resistance in open and closed chain positions, light functional activities with operated limb
38
Minimum Protection/Return to Function Phase
- Prevent reinjury: Identify unsafe activities - Restore full joint and soft tissue mobility - Maximize muscle performance, dynamic stability, and neuromuscular control - Acquire or relearn specific motor skills - Progressive balance, coordination, strengthening and task specific/functional activities
39
Common THA precautions
no hip flexion past 90 degrees - no adduction - no rotation
40
Anterior/Anterolateral/ Minimally Invasive or Muscle Sparing Anterolateral THA Approach Precautions
- no hip extension, ER, adduction - WBAT immediately after surgery - able to walk with walker much easier - progress to cane within 2-3 weeks - more rapid recovery and normalized gait compared to anteriorlateral approach - no hip precautions
41
Direct Lateral or Transgluteal THA Approach Precautions
- no hip abduction - weakness of hip abductors - possible pelvic obliquity - delayed recovery of symmetrical gait
42
Transtrochanteric THA Approach Precautions
- no active hip abduction for 6 weeks post-op - extended period of NWB - increased pain compared to other approaches - more patient dissatisfaction - higher rates of post op limp due to gluteal nerve injury or avulsion of gluteal flap
43
Posterior/Posterolateral THA Approach Precautions
- Highest risk of dislocation - Possible earlier recovery of normalized gait - walkers for almost the first 4 – 6 weeks - progress to cane for the next 3-4 weeks - walk independently at about 10 weeks - return to normal activities about 3 months. - no hip flexion past 90 degrees, no rotation, no adduction
44
Hip joint resurfacing precautions
- no hip flexion past 90 degrees - no hip IR - No hip adduction
45
Coxa Vara
angle less than 125 degrees
46
Posterior THA Approach
- gluteus maximus divided in line with its fibers - short external rotators and pirifromis released and reattached - posterior capsule incised and repaired
47
Posterolateral THA Approach
- incision at the posterior 1/3 of greater trochanter & extends for 10 cm to a point 2 fingerbreadths below PSIS - short external rotators & piriformis released and reattached - posterior capsule incised and repaired - most commonly used - higher rate of dislocation
48
Direct Lateral or Transgluteal THA Approach
Longitudinal division of the TFL Up to ½ of proximal insertion of gluteus medius and minimus released and reattached Longitudinal splitting of vastus lateralis Capsulotomy and repair Provides better access to femur than anterior or anterolateral approaches Avoids need for trochanteric osteotomy while still providing good access to joint.
