Postoperative Care for Hip Replacement

Before hip replacement surgery even takes place, a surgeon and patient will talk about a recovery and rehabilitation plan. This plan can help the patient:

Leave the hospital sooner
Regain hip strength and function more quickly
Reduce the risk of developing a post-surgical limp
Resume independent living sooner

People are typically able to take care of themselves and resume most activities 6 weeks after surgery, and are 90% recovered after 3 months. It can take up to a full year before they are 100% recovered.

Faster and slower recoveries
Healing and rehabilitation times vary among patients. Deviation from the “typical” recovery timeline cannot always be predicted, but differences are usually okay as long as the patient, physical therapist, and doctor continue to work together towards a full recovery.

Waking Up from Hip Replacement Surgery

A patient may wake up from anesthesia with a triangle-shaped pillow between his or her legs, keeping the legs slightly spread. This pillow is meant to stabilize the hips. A doctor may suggest a patient use the pillow while sleeping and resting in bed during the days following surgery.

In the hours after surgery, the patient will begin to regain feeling in his or her legs. The doctor will pre-emptively treat pain using a combination of pain-relief methods that complement each other and minimize side effects, an approach that is called multimodal analgesia.

If pain is reasonably under control, the patient may be asked to do gentle exercises in bed, such as:

Bending and flexing the ankle (ankle pump)
Contracting and relaxing the quadriceps muscles
Contracting and relaxing the gluteal muscles

Gentle exercises may be done for few minutes each hour (interrupting sleep is not necessary) to facilitate blood flow.

The patient may be asked to stand up and take a few steps with the aid of a physical therapist and/or a walker. Patients who get up and bear some weight (with assistance) on their new hips soon after surgery tend to recover more quickly than patients who do not.

How Much Weight Can Be Put On the New Hip?

A surgeon or nurse will give each patient weight-bearing guidelines to follow in the hospital and at home. Initially, a patient may be advised to put just a small percentage of weight on the affected leg, with incrementally more weight being applied over time.

Exactly how much pressure the new hip can bear will depend on factors such as:

The type of surgery and prostheses used
The condition of the patient’s natural bone
How the prostheses was fixated to the natural bone

For example, patients who have a cementless prostheses may need to wait longer to put weight on the hip, because the bone tissue needs time to grow and bond with the prostheses.

The role of malnutrition in 90-day outcomes after total joint arthroplasty

Via a cohort study of 4,047 cases, the researchers sought to determine the role of preoperative albumin in total joint arthroplasty (TJA) patients for prediction of length of stay (LOS) and 90-day outcomes. For malnutrition, the albumin cutoff of ≤3.5 g/dL is used as proxy, however the value remained understudied. In some patients at risk for adverse events post TJA, the pre-operative albumin level could be missing. For 90-day readmission, the optimal albumin cutoff was concluded as 3.94 g/dL in a univariable model. Screening for malnutrition as a preoperative evaluation could serve a role. The albumin cutoff value of 3.5 g/dL might be missed.

Surgical treatment of avulsion fracture around joints of extremities using hook plate fixation

Purpose

This study proposed to access the clinical outcome of avulsion fractures around joints of extremities using the hook plate.

Methods

A total of 60 patients with avulsion fractures of joints admitted in their hospital between January 2011 and June 2016 were performed the surgery of hook plate fixation. Functional recovery was evaluated using the Lysholm knee score, Kaikkonen ankle injury score, Mayo elbow and wrist function score, and Neer shoulder function score.

Results

All the patients were healed within 3 months after surgery with stage They healing incision without vascular or nerve injuries. The average follow-up period was 18.1 months. At the last follow-up, no instability of joints, looseness of internal fixation or traumatic arthritis was observed. Mild joint fibrosis occurred in 5 cases. A total of 57 patients were well recovered with the excellent and good rate of 95%. Three patients with humeral avulsion fracture of the greater tuberosity had shoulder joint adhesion and peri humeral inflammation at the last follow-up due to the poor cooperation for early rehabilitation exercise. In the last follow-ups, the functional score of the affected limb was markedly greater than that in the 3-month follow-ups (p < 0.05).

Conclusion

Hook plate fixation has the therapeutic effect on treating avulsion fractures around joints of extremities with the advantages of reliable fixation, early rehabilitation after operation, high recovery rates of joint function, wide indications, and convenient uses.

Lumbar Hyperlordosis

Lumbar lordosis refers to the inward curvature of the lumbar spine that is created by wedging of both the lumbar intervertebral discs and the vertebral bodies.

Deviations of the lumbar spine such as an increased lumbar lordosis have an impact on overall postural stability particularly in maintaining sagittal balance due to a degeneration of the sagittal spine curvature.

A greater lordosis angle is a risk factor for developing spondylolysis and ventral bulging of the affected vertebra, with researchers having proved a positive association between lumbar hyperlordosis angle and spondylolysis and isthmic spondylolisthesis.

Been and Kalichman gave a detailed description of the anatomy of lumbar lordosis stating that dorsal wedging of the vertebral bodies and discs increases the lordosis angle, whereas more ventral wedging of these structures reduces the lordosis angle …………….
