Arthroscopic debridement and lavage
Removal of unstable or loosen bodies such as fragments of bones or cartilage.
Post management after surgery
PROM / AAROM immediately after 24-48 hours of surgery
Quickly progress to AROM
Synovectomy
Removal of the synovial lining of the joint
Typical with RA patients who have constant inflammation of the joint
Conditions it can treat
Tenosynovitis (Inflammation of the tendon sheaths where muscles connect to)
Tensosynovectomy (Excessive synovium in the joint)
Post management after surgery
Slow process with exercise and ADL's
Depended on patient
Arthrodesis
Surgical fusion of two articulating joints
Typical in spine, wrist, thumb, and ankle
Used to relieve severe pain such as late stage of OA and can even be used on patients where a total replacement surgery failed
Kisner p.369, table 12-2 for positioning of joint post surgery
Post management
Post surgery they wear a cast over the joint for 6-12 weeks
No more ROM so ROM and strength must be maintained above/below the joint
WB status till proof of healing
ORIF
Some type of inter fixation device is used to stabilize the bone fragments during the healing process
As it heals a second surgery might be required to remove the fixation
Postmangement after surgery
Heavily dependent on so many factors
WB status is necessary while maintaining immobilization of the area
Osteotomy
Surgical cutting and realigment of bone
Common on the knee and hip
Used to reduce pain and deformity
Different types of procedures reffer to Kisner p.370 for more info
Postmanagement after surgery
If immobilized in a cast you can peform AROM above and below the joint to prevent stiffness and muscle weakness
WB status is typically 4-6 weeks
When WB status has improved and cast is removed you can perform AAROM and active exercise with light weights
