INTRODUCTION
1. Resection arthroplasty,
2. Inter-positional arthroplasty
3. Total joint arthroplasty
may be performed.
1. Resection or Excision Arthroplasty,
– the orthopedic surgeon removes a minimal amount of tissue surrounding the
joint in an attempt to restore joint function.
2. Inter-positional Arthroplasty
– the joint is surgically reshaped and, to provide better contact between the
sides of the joint, a material (such as metal, plastic, ceramic or the patient’s
own soft tissue) is positioned at the site where the joint articulates.
3. Total Joint Arthroplasty
1. Cemented
2. Non-cemented
3. Hybrid
– Bone cement is methyl-methacrylate compound. Cement can be used with or
without in a joint.
– Cemented is used in elderly patient with expected life of 10-15 years
– Non-cemented hip is used in younger people.

Total Hip Arthroplasty
– In tis approach, requires longitudinal division of the tensor fascia latae, one-half
of the gluteus medius and longitudinal splitting of vastus minimus.
– In this approach, disruption of the abductor mechanism is associated with post-
operative weakness and gait abnormalities.
– In direct lateral approach, the positive Trendelenburg sign is present.
C. Anterio-lateral Approach
– Evaluation:
i. Pain
ii. Deformity
iii. ROM
iv. Muscular power
v. Muscular atrophy
vi. Ambulation and Gait
Pre-operative Physiotherapy
– The CPM has a motor that bends the joint back and forth to a set number of
degrees. The amount of movement of the CPM can be adjusted.
– After surgery for knee replacement, ACL reconstruction, and frozen shoulder
surgery, a stiff joint can be a major complication. Therefore, some surgeons use a
CPM to try to prevent scar tissue formation and improve the joint mobility.
