| Gentle isometrics | what can be used during acute inflammation to retain strength |
| Splints | what may be used to help protect and rest involved joints |
| Crutches, canes or walkers | what may be used to reduce weight-bearing stresses and help with balance |
| Heat | what can be used with chronic pain to reduce pain & stiffness |
| Low impact | what type of cardiovascular exercise should be done |
| Walking, biking, swimming, eliptical trainer | what are types of low impact cardio exercises |
| 85 | what should the temp of a heated pool be with Arthritis |
| 1-2 hours | if joint swelling or pain lasts for more than how long after treatment, exercise intensity shouold be reduced |
| RA | what type of Arthritis can passive stretching cause an inflammatory response |
| Arthrodesis | what is joint fusion, typically done at the ankles, wrists, fingers or thumbs |
| Arthrodesis | what relieves pain in unstable joint |
| Arthroscopy | what is surgery using 3 small incisions |
| Arthroscopy | what surgery are the instruments are used to debride the joint for people with arthritis |
| Osteotomy | what involves cutting and repositioning bone to improve joint alignment and decrease deformity |
| Resection | what is the removal of tissue (bone) and is done in the feet, wrists, thumbs or elbows to improve function and relieve pain |
| Synovectomy | what is the removal of inflammed synovial linning, usually done with RA patients |
| Synovectomy | what reduces pain and swelling and slows down joint destruction |
| Total Joint Replacement (Arthroplasty) | what is typically done at the knee, hip or shoulder |
| Total Joint Replacement (Arthroplasty) | what surgery has replacement of joint surfaces with metal, ceramic and plastic parts |
| Total Joint Replacement (Arthroplasty) | what surgery has excellent success rates for decreasing pain and increasing function |
| Revision Joint Surgery | what surgery is the replacement of an artificial joint |
| Revision Joint Surgery | what surgery do 5-10% of hip replacements need to be revised within 10 years |
| Revision Joint Surgery | what surgery is recovery longer and more difficult than the 1st joint replacement |
| Unicondylar Knee Replacement | what is done when only one knee compartment (medial or lateral) is involved |
| Unicondylar Knee Replacement | what is done with a shorter recovery time and easier revision than total joint replacement |
| Osteochondral Autograft or Allograft | what is for small defects, the surgeon removes plugs of bone and cartilage from a non-weightbearing area to patch a damaged weightbearing area. For large defects, cadaver tissue is used. |
| Autologous chondrocyte Implantation (ACI) | what arthroscopic surgery is used to harvest the patient's healthy, non-weightbearing chondrocytes from the knee. They are then allowed to multiply in a lab so they can be used to "patch" the area of damaged cartilage. |
| Microfracture | what is a small hole created in the subchondral bone, which stimulates the healing process. The area of damaged articular cartilage is replaced with a fibrocartilage scar, not hyaline cartilage. |
| Mesenchymal stem cell regeneration | what is still in development. MSC's can be harvested from bone marrow. These relatively undifferentiated cells can be stimulated in the lab to grow into articular cartilage. |
| High impact | what type of activities should be avoided for several months |
| Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate | what are naturally found in the body, and the supplements come from animal sources |
| Glucosamine | what stimulates the formation and repair of articular cartilage |
| Chondroitin sulfate | what prevents body enzymes from attacking the building blocks of articular cartilage |
| Europe | where have Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate been used for several years with few reported side effects |
| Hyaluronic acid | what is normally found in the synovial fluid and acts as a lubricant |
| Obesity & Infection | what are factors that decrease the success of surgery |
| Poor general health & Poor nutrition | what are factors that decrease the success of surgery |
| Inadequate motor control (paresis or paralysis) | what are factors that decrease the success of surgery |
| Inadequate bone stock & Emotional instability | what are factors that decrease the success of surgery |
| 8 weeks | how long should a patient follow hip precautions to prevent dislocation with a Traditional hip replacement: Avoid hip flex past 90 degrees, hip IR, and hip add past neutral |
| Anterolateral approach | what reduces the patient's risk of dislocation, but involves a longer operation with greater blood loss and a higher incidence of heterotopic ossification. |
| Anterolateral approach | what surgery disrupts glut med, glut min, TFL, vastus lateralis, rectus femoris, iliopsoas & the anterolateral capsule. Patients follow traditional hip replacement precautions and avoid hip er & ext past neutral |
| Hip resurfacing | what is used for relatively young, healthy patients, because it preserves more of the patient's bone for a replacement at a later date. |
| 15-20 years | how long does a hip replacement have a typical life span |
| Hip resurfacing | what involves a larger incision and higher risk of complications than hip replacements |
| Rotate the hip | patients with hip replacements should not be given ankle circles due to the tendancy to do what at the hip |
| 3-6 months | how long is swelling normal for after surgery |
| Ice, compression & elevation | what should be used for edema control |
| 1-2 wks | when will the staples be removed |
| Rest of their life | how long should patient's avoid high-impact activities |
