What are the common complications after joint replacement?
The possible complications are deep vein thrombosis, dislocation for hips and infection. Long term complications are loosening and wear. These are easily preventable and in all cases preventive measures are taken.
7. What is the role of physiotherapy and exercises after joint replacement?
Exercises called continuous passive motion (CPM) machine start within 1-2 days after joint replacement, while walking starts 2-3 days after joint replacement with full weight bearing, as tolerated.
8. Does one need some support of a walker or a stick after joint replacement?
Yes, if only the knee is involved, then a walker for one week and a walking stick for three weeks. If both knees are replaced, then it takes twice the time. The same protocol for hip replacement with cement. For non cemented hips, walking is done after 2-3 months with a walking stick and weight bearing.
9. What precautions are taken to prevent these complications?
It is advised to use a bed side commode for 3-4 weeks and a normal toilet after that. Avoid sitting on the floor, jogging , running and fast sports after joint

The research showed that limb salvage is the first option, unless osteomyelitis is developed, in which case amputation is required. It is also more cost effective to amputate and it requires inpatient rehabilitation. Their findings also included that successful correction allows patients more independence, leading to longer survival and improved quality of life. Many detractors also suggested that surgery is not justified given the risks associated with

The DS technique causes minimal damage to the patient’s soft tissue; thus, improving patient recovery experiences and allowing patients to return to their daily activities faster than ever before. The DA method causes considerably greater damage to the patient’s gluteus minimus muscle and tendon than is seen with the DS technique; in addition, the DA method damages the rectus femoris muscles and the tensor fascia latae, Dr. Roger’s DS technique does not. Dr. Douglas Roger is the medical director at the Institute of Clinical Orthopedics and Neuroscience, as well as the program director for the Disease Specific Certification by the Joint Commission for hip and knee replacement surgery at Desert Regional Medical Center, which is located in Palm Springs, Calif.
However, it is as paramount to know if a patient is a candidate for specific procedures. Surgeons must know if the patient’s body is suitable to undergo an extensive surgery. And under the requirements of anterior approach hip replacement, more than half of the patients who needs a hip replacement would not qualify for this procedure. Majority of the patients who undertake the surgery are 45 years or older. The age is now increasing by 10 years with 138,700 people to 310,800 people (Wolford, Palso, Bercovitz).
Can you gain flexibility in your hips while erasing knee, hip and back pain? If you are someone who tries stretching daily using common stretching routines, but still wakes up stiff and in pain, then you may not believe it 's possible. This Hip Flexibility review will take a look at a program created by the popular Eric Wong that says it is. If you want to enjoy the flexibility you did when you were younger and reduce pain, keep reading to learn more.
At 12 years, overall survivorship was 64% and almost half of the patients had substantial ambulatory dysfunction (i.e. severe limp or inability to walk) post-operatively. However, Harris Hip scores increased from 46 to 76 points at most recent follow-up. While we cannot discount the notable disadvantages associated with proximal femoral replacement, further study is certainly warranted to determine its role in revision
Mrs Jones physical shows she had a hip operation thereby causing her pain, reducing her mobility and access to her occupation and engagement. Additionally she has difficulty in weight bearing on her right leg due to her operation and experiencing muscle weakness causing her limited endurance and strength when walking and transferring. Cognition: It was documented the patient experienced post-operative confusion, memory loss, difficulty following and understanding post hip surgery caution. Affective (mood): Patient experienced low mood and lacks confidence walking due to her illness, this has impacted on her emotion.
(Fig. 27) Compared to TKA, unicompartmental arthroplasty results in better knee joint with quicker rehabilitation time and greater range of motion. Revision of UKA to tricompartmental prostheses, requires special components, bone grafting or cement with screw augmentation to fill osseous defects, was necessary in 76% of patients reported by Padgett, Stern, and Insall.30 and in 45% reported by Scot RD and Cobb AG.31 They concluded that the revision of UKA to TKA were simpler than typical revision TKA because of lessen incidence of significant bony defects at the time of revision.31 HINGED IMPLANTS In Kinematic Rotating Hinge prosthesis, two polyethylene and cobalt chrome bearings allow flexion-extension and axial rotation.
It is advised to follow up with the lady for 6 months as it is well known that maximum functional gain is achieved in the first 6 month following total knee replacement surgery (Unver et al. 2005, Kennedy et al. 2005). In managing the lady, any reversible risk factors that predisposed her to osteoarthritis such as obesity, smoking and physical inactivity must be managed and lifestyle modifications must be made accordingly, along with self-efficacy of her condition. It is also important to assess and review her functional outcomes as well as performance outcomes from rehab using outcome measures such as Six Minute Walk test, Berg balance test, Functional Independent Measure, Modified Barthel Index and Dynamic Gait Index (Artz et al, 2015).
