Terry Rzepkowski – An Intensive Training Lab on Total Joint Replacements

The latest advances in technology, equipment, components make total joint replacement an elective option for patients with compromised articular components.

Terry Rzepkowski – An Intensive Training Lab on Total Joint Replacements

Description:

• “Hands-on” Sessions for the acute to subacute phases of recovery
• Case studies of robotic surgery and computer-aided procedures are shown in video
• Rehab considerations that are unique for advanced and traditional surgical procedures
• Here are some key strategies to include point-This is-care PT/INR
• Out-Patient and beyond: Practical strategies to maximize function and prolong joint life expectancy

The latest advances in technology, equipment, components make total joint replacement an elective option for patients of all ages who have compromised articular components. This puts us in a difficult position to keep up with surgical advances as well as the active expectations of our recipients.

Terry RzepkowskiDPT, is delighted to share his passion and expertise in orthopedics to give an advanced understanding of joint replacement surgery. Have you ever wanted to see the latest techniques in joint replacement… but your busy treatment schedule doesn’t allow you time? We will be discussing and viewing actual videos of joint replacement to help us distinguish between the traditional and the most recent options for our shoulder, elbow, knee, hip, and ankle.

We will also have “hands on” Demonstrations and practice of intervention from the acute post-You can also opt through the advanced out-Patient progression for total joint replacement patients. You will have a better understanding of the surgery process and be better equipped to assist patients in setting realistic expectations.-Improved satisfaction rates for patients after surgical procedures are possible by changing the field. Total Joint Replacement.

OUTLINE

The Determinants Joint Replacing

• Muscle imbalance
• Acute injuries
• Chronic conditions
• Systemic conditions

Pre-operative Selection Determinants

• Postural deformity
• Diagnostic imaging
• Function and pain level
• Conservative therapies
• Physical co-morbidities
• Relative bone density
• Post-Op considerations: What about acute rehab? Skilled nursing Home? Which one is best in terms of accessibility, assistance and duration?

Video Presentations for Surgical Procedures

• Total TSA shoulder arthroplasty
• Reverse TSA
• Total Elbow arthroplasty
• Total Hip arthroplasty, conventional posterior and side approaches for hip arthroplasty
• THA revision and anterior THA
• Total Knee replacement (TKA), subvastus and conventional.
• Total Replacement of the ankle
• The future of joint-replacement:
  • Total elbow arthroplasty with video radiograph assistance
  • Robotic and computer-assisted hip, knee, and ankle replacement

Acute Post-OP Recovery Interventions

• Pain management, opioid tolerance, and opioid induced constipation are all possible.
• Wound care/Infection prevention demonstration using PICO dressing
• VTE Prophylaxis
  • Hands on demonstration
    • Point-This is-care PT/INR
    • Get the latest recommendations on TED hose
    • Cold recirculator units, cold compression devices

Sessions for the Subacute through Acute Recovery Phase

• Physical/Occupational therapy
• Restrictions on movement
• Demonstration demonstrating proper positioning
• Hands on Practice
  • UE: Don’t forget to take off your UE immobilizers
    • Distal UE exercises for the shoulders and cervical stretching techniques for the proximal scapular.
  • Hip: Immediate Post-op exercises and progressions for the conventional/anterior approach hips, including transfer considerations
  • Knee: Immediate post-op exercises and progressions for the conventional/subvastus approach, forms of stretching

Out-Patient and Beyond: Strategies to Optimal Function and Joint Longevity

• Hands on Activities
  • Shoulder: Techniques to build proximal capular stabilization and progression to rotator Cuff strengthening
  • Hip: The progression of core pelvic strengthening and proximal stability, proprioceptive activities, balance, coordination activities.
  • Knee: Advancement of flexibility exercises and patellar mobilization. The importance of appropriate footwear, proprioceptive balance, coordination activities, and return to normal gait mechanics.

OBJECTIVES

1. Participate in hands-on Subacute and acute applications-The acute intervention strategies are for the total hip, shoulder, and knee patient.
2. Analyze the most important indicators that will determine when joint replacement surgery should be performed, including any postoperative signs.-Considerations for opi recovery
3. Apply cold therapies, UE implockers, and point-This is-care PT/INR.
4. Assess post-Operative pain, wound treatment, and anticoagulant options.
5. Video presentations allow you to compare surgical approaches and procedures in order to decide the best post-There are no restrictions on ops
6. Please explain the indications for reversing a TSA.
7. Differentiate between the different surgical options currently available for THA.
8. There are two approaches to TKA: the traditional and subvastus.
9. Examine the pros and cons of robot-assisted and computerized replacement surgery.
10. Try it out!-on Advanced out-Intervention strategies for the total hip, shoulder, and knee patient.
