Study Notes
- Physical Therapy: Early intervention essential for joint function restoration, preventing stiffness, and strengthening surrounding muscles.
- Pain Management: Medications like analgesics and anti-inflammatory may be prescribed to manage pain and reduce inflammation.
- Complications and Considerations:
- Recurrent Dislocations: Some joints, like the shoulder, may require additional interventions to prevent dislocations.
- Neurovascular Compromise: Careful monitoring of neurovascular status to prevent nerve or blood vessel damage.
- Compartment Syndrome: Immediate intervention required in cases of severe dislocations with associated soft tissue injuries.
- Rehabilitation and Long-Term Follow-up:
- Gradual Range of Motion: Physical therapy focuses on restoring joint range of motion gradually and safely.
- Strength and Stability: Exercises essential to strengthen muscles and prevent future dislocations.
- Psychological Support: Patients may experience anxiety or fear of re-injury, counseling or support groups beneficial.
- Prevention:
- Protective Gear: Appropriate protective gear reduces the risk of joint dislocations in sports and high-risk activities.
- Safety Measures: Educating individuals about safety measures and fall prevention, especially in the elderly, is crucial.
Total Hip Replacement:
- History:
- Ancient Times: Artificial fingers made from bronze and gold attached with linen.
- 1800s: Surgeons developed joint prostheses but materials were not strong enough.
- 1940s to 1960s: Sir John Charnley developed the modern design for total hip replacement.
- Recent advances: Minimally invasive techniques and robotic-assisted surgeries.
- Indications:
- Osteoarthritis of the hip is the most common indication.
- Rheumatoid arthritis, injury/fracture, hip osteonecrosis, and neglected hip dislocation are also indications.
- Designs and components:
- Types of hip replacement surgery: Total hip replacement vs partial hip replacement (hemiarthroplasty).
- Femoral component: cemented, press-fit, or uncemented.
- Acetabular components: cemented, press-fit, or uncemented.
- Bearing surfaces: polyethylene, metal, or ceramic.
- Surgery techniques:
- Posterior approach: incision over the hip joint to expose the damaged bone and cartilage.
- Lateral approach.
- Direct anterior approach: muscle-sparing hip replacement.
- Surgery procedure:
- Incision: surgeon makes an incision over the hip joint.
- Preparation of the Joint: damaged bone is removed, and the socket and femur are shaped to fit the prosthesis.
- Implantation: prosthesis is inserted into the joint and secured with screws, cement, or both.
- Post-operative care: patient monitored for pain, infection, and mobility, physical therapy encouraged for recovery.
- Benefits and outcomes:
- Pain relief and mobility.
- Improved quality of life.
- Modern prosthetic hip can last up to 20 years.
- Risks and complications:
- Infection, implant loosening or wear damage, blood clots, and dislocation of the prosthetic joint.
- Close monitoring and revision surgery may be required.
