Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 73-year-old female patient status post right total knee arthroplasty was seen for physical therapy in an acute care setting for a total of four sessions over the course of three days beginning on the same afternoon of surgery.

Download or read book Joint Arthroplasty written by Shinichi Imura and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction of total joint arthroplasty throughout the world has contributed manifold benefits to patients who suffer from joint diseases. Concurrently, however, there has been an increase in revision surgery. Many orthopedic surgeons agree that durability of prostheses is an eternal problem. In particular, periprosthetic osteolysis recently has been identified as one of the serious problems affecting prosthetic dura bility. To improve durability, osteolysis and many other problems must be investi gated and solved both experimentally and clinically with respect to such aspects as prosthetic material, design, and biological and biomechanical behavior. This book comprises 37 papers that were presented by orthopedic surgeons and biomedical engineers at the 28th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Replace ment Arthroplasty, held in March 1998 in Kanazawa, Japan. The volume is thus a compilation of the latest knowledge about the pathogenesis and reduction of osteolysis and wear, newly developed total hip prostheses, and other current topics of total knee arthroplasty. We earnestly hope that this book will be of benefit to clinicians and researchers, and that it will contribute to the creation of more durable total joint prostheses in the future.

Download or read book Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation for a Patient Following a Left Total Knee Replacement written by Lauren Shanks and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A patient following a left total knee replacement to correct painful end-stage osteoarthritis was seen for physical therapy treatment for 5 sessions from 7/1/15 to 7/3/15 in an acute care hospital setting. Treatment was provided by a student physical therapist under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist. The patient was evaluated at the initial encounter with the Timed Up and Go test to measure functional mobility and assess fall risk, the Oxford Knee Score to measure knee function and knee pain, and the Wells Clinical Decision Rule to assess the likelihood of the presence of a deep vein thrombosis. A plan of care was established to fit the individual's impairments determined by the initial evaluation. The main goals for the patient were to improve strength, endurance, gait quality, functional mobility, functional independence, and reduce fall risk. Main interventions used were over-ground gait training, progressive strength training, and functional task-specific training. Throughout the episode of care the patient improved strength, endurance, gait quality, functional mobility, and functional independence. All goals were met in these areas of focus, except the patient remained at high fall risk based on the Timed Up and Go test findings. The patient was discharged home with a home exercise program, a recommendation of supervision as needed, and with home health physical therapy and nursing.
Download or read book A Qualitative Descriptive Study Older Adults Postoperative Pain Medication Usage After Total Knee Arthroplasty written by Samantha Bremner and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Postoperative pain is a major concern to patients undergoing surgical procedures but little research has been conducted on pain management after hospital discharge for orthopaedic patients. Since pain medication is a key component of pain management, it is important to study medication usage from a patient's perspective, for greater patient--health care provider concordance. A qualitative descriptive approach was taken to investigate the experience of 14 participants with managing pain at home immediately after total knee arthroplasty. Most participants limited their consumption and weaned themselves off prescription analgesics and used over-the-counter pain medications. The participants adapted their regimens in response to several factors and generally were content to self - manage their pain but required access to professional support. The study suggests that when developing postoperative pain management plans, health care providers may need to increase the time they spend addressing patients' concerns and considering patients' preferences.
Download or read book Exploration of the Relationship Between Pain Intensity Comfort Level and Patient Satisfaction Among Orthopedic Patients Following Knee Surgery on Postoperative Day One written by Michelle Osborne and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pain is a common phenomenon after surgery. Specifically, postoperative pain after total knee arthroplasty remains one of the most important challenges facing patients undergoing this surgery. Pain and comfort management continue to be overlooked and inadequately managed (McCaffery, Herr & Pasero, 2011; Pasero et al., 2009). Despite the availability of numerous effective analgesics and new drug administration technologies, research studies continue to show suboptimal pain management (ASPAN, 2013). A major focus of postoperative nursing care for patients following total joint replacement surgery is pain management. Although education of today’s nurse will require some emphasis on technological advances, fundamental caring practices cannot be neglected. Interventions focusing on the comfort needs of patients and families are entirely within the realm of nursing practice, and are proposed to be strongly related to quality of care and patient satisfaction (Kolcaba, 2012). The purpose of this research study was to examine the relationship between pain intensity, comfort level and patient satisfaction of orthopedic patients following knee surgery on postoperative day one (the first day after surgery). The comfort theory was used as the theoretical foundation for this study. This study was conducted as descriptive/correlational study in which the relationship among variables (postoperative pain, comfort and patient satisfaction) was examined. A convenience sample of 40 male and female adult patients admitted to the hospital for elective total knee replacement /arthroplasty surgery beginning October 2014. The 0-10 Numerical Rating Scale (NRS-11) was used to measure pain intensity. The Perianesthesia Comfort Questionnaire was used to measure comfort. Data collection to assess patient satisfaction was based on questions from the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) Survey and Press Ganey Survey. The results of this study did not reveal statistically significant relationships among patient satisfaction, comfort, and pain intensity. Perhaps this finding is due to the high patient satisfaction scores. Nurses play a key role in the management of pain for patients having knee replacement surgery. They are the primary group of health care professionals responsible for the ongoing assessment, monitoring of patients and initiating interventions that help assure patients’ pain are appropriately managed. To adequately study this phenomenon, replication of the study across different hospital systems using a large sample size with more variability in satisfaction are needed.
