Therapeutic Interventions Heat/cold Balanced Rest and Activity Surgery – Total Joint Replacement

Rehabilitative procedures are used to primarily help keep the patient as independent as possible.

Range of motion exercise will help patients from developing contractures

Nursing Diagnoses Acute Pain Disturbed Body Image Fatigue Self-care Deficit Impaired Physical Mobility Deficient Knowledge

Patient Education Disease Process Medication Management Rest and Exercise

◆Exercise helps to prevent the joints from becoming immobile

◆When resting joints should be support in a position of extention

Total Hip Replacement Preoperative Care

◆Total Joint Education Programs ◆Autologous Blood Donation

Total Hip Replacement Postoperative Care to Prevent

Complications◆Hip Dislocation

• Prevent Adduction or Hyperflexion• Usually a maximum of 60 degree flexion is allowed• Internal rotation is also restricted

◆Skin Breakdown• Prevent Pressure Ulcers

Abductor Pillow

Hip Flexion after Total Hip Replacement

Total Hip Replacement◆Pain

• Provide Pain Relief

◆Infection• Prophylactic Antibiotics • Coughing and Deep Breathing• Incisional Care

Total Hip Replacement◆Bleeding

• Monitor Incision/drainage From Drain

◆Neurovascular Compromise• Neurovascular Checks

Total Hip Replacement◆Ambulation

• Physical Therapy• Use Walker/crutches

Total Hip Replacement Thromboembolitic Complications

◆Compression Devices◆Leg Exercises

• Enoxaparin (Lovenox)

◆The chief cause of mortality for total hip patients is pulmonary embolism.

Total Hip Replacement Postop care includes:

◆Proper positioning to maintain abduction◆Monitoring amount of wound drainage◆Planned administration of an analgesic prior to

exercise

Total Hip Replacement Self-care

◆Assistive Dressing Devices ◆Raised Toilet Seat ◆Rehabilitation

Dislocation Not a Concern

Care like Total Hip Replacement

Frequent monitoring of vital signs is essential Continuous Passive Motion Machine (CPM)

Knee Arthroplasty is surgery to reshape, reconstruct, or replace a diseased or damaged knee joint. (A new knee joint made with a prosthesis)

http://www.kneereplacement.co.in/images/2%20Knee%20replacement%20implant.JPG

Total Knee Replacement The nerve that could be compromised in the total

knee patient is the peroneal or fibular nerve

The peroneal nerves wraps around the head of the fibula and innervates the knee joint, skin of the lateral calf and dorsum of the foot. Also the muscles that dorsiflex the foot are innervated.

Total Knee Replacement Nursing care after total knee surgery

◆Obtain a walker to minimize weight-bearing on the affected leg

◆Apply knee immobilizer brace before getting the patient up (primary method of protecting knee joint)

◆ elevate the leg while sitting in a chair

Continuous Passive Motion Machine

Flexion and extension are important in the overall rehabilitation process for total knee replacement patients.

Amputation Surgical Amputations

◆Ischemia From Peripheral Vascular Disease ◆Bone Tumor or cancer of the bone◆ Frostbite◆ Congenital Problems◆ Infections◆Burn injury

Amputation Traumatic Amputations

◆Accidents

Amputation Replantation

◆Wrap Severed Body Part in Cool, Slightly Moist Cloth

◆Place in Sealed Plastic Bag Submerged in Cold Water

◆Transported to Hospital

Amputation Levels Of Amputation

◆Below-the-knee (BKA) ◆Above-the-knee (AKA) ◆Below-the-elbow (BEA) ◆Above-the-elbow (AEA)

Amputation Nursing Care

Preoperative ◆ Deficient Knowledge

• Teach Preoperative Procedures◆ Disturbed Body Image ◆ Begin Support Services

Factors that can influence a persons reaction to an amputation include:◆ Previous dealings with loss◆ Economic status◆ Emotional stability

Postoperative◆Hemorrhage Prevention ◆Infection◆Pain Control

• Phantom Pain

◆Mobility and Ambulation

Bandaging for Above-the-Knee Amputation

Postoperative◆Prosthesis

• Fitting a patient for a prosthesis at the time of surgery– Helps to get the patient out of bed as soon as possible– Improve the patients mental outlook and reduce anxiety

• Patient can not be hurried through the stages of grieving and acceptance

◆ Lifestyle Adaptation• New amputees are very likely to be concerned about their

dependence on family and friends.

Postoperative◆The patient will be scheduled to spend some time in

the prone position each day to prevent contractures of the hip

◆Exercise of operative as well as unoperative side prevents muscle weakness and atrophy

◆Patients usually begin walking in 2 – 4 days after an amputated leg.

Congenital Hip Dysplasia Abnormal development

of tissue in hip

Affected side knee may be higher than the unaffected side

Skin folds of the thigh of the affected are deeper than the unaffected side

Congenital hip dysplasia Treatment may include:

◆Surgery◆Splints or braces◆Traction

Scoliosis A lateral curvature of the spine

80% are attributed to idiopathic causes

A Milwaukee Brace and exercise is frequently the treatment of choice
