Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together a comprehensive set of chapters that cover the basic principles of fast track surgery, clinical enhancements, but also important aspects of project management and change management in Hip and Knee Arthroplasty. Although the value of care pathways and fast track surgery are probably well known by almost everyone, there are still too many differences in arthroplasty care not only around the world, but also within countries. How can it be that the fast track principles are implemented so poorly? Probably because it looks so simple, yet it's so complex that many doctors don't know where to start. This handy book, published in collaboration with ESSKA, provides an easy-to-consult guide that summarize the most important notions in a concise, accessible way.

Download or read book Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty written by Alessandro Rozim Zorzi and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2018-05-23 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a compilation of topics related to primary total knee arthroplasty. The chapters cover, in a clear and didactic way, the current themes, written by experts from the area, from different parts of the world. Topics related to the three surgical phases (before surgery, during surgery, and after surgery) are discussed here. This is very important because the surgeon is not a "factory worker." First of all, it is a medicine doctor who has to feel and understand the particularities of each patient. Demographic studies show an aging population. Osteoarthritis and inflammatory diseases are becoming much more prevalent. In addition, a worldwide epidemic of trauma has led to the need for arthroplasties much more frequently. Therefore, total knee arthroplasty will be an increasingly important subject.

Download or read book Fast Track Surgery Program in Knee Replacement written by Jou-Hua Wang and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Fast-track (FT) program, a well-established approach for patients undergoing selective operations, aims at enhanced post-operative recovery. It was first introduced by Professor Henrik Kehlet in 1990s and was applied in colourectal surgery. With the increasing elderly population as well as the increasing incidence of osteoarthritis, the rapid growth of requirement of joint arthroplasties is to be expected. Therefore, many orthopedic teams have applied related principles to their daily practice of total knee arthroplasty to accelerate rehabilitation with lower mortality and morbidity, and to optimize patient satisfaction. The program is a multimodal and multidisciplinary standardized care. Various caring specialties are involved to fulfill the goals of the fast-track program; the basic members include anesthetists, surgeons, pain specialist, physiotherapists, nurses and even medical physicians. In general, the strategy consists of five strands: careful patient selection, improving preoperative care, minimizing perioperative stresses, decreasing postoperative discomfort, and improving postoperative recovery. Through full understanding of these strands and concepts, a comprehensive, perioperative care is thus constructed. This review article gives reader an overall concept of fast track surgery in total knee replacement surgery. A comprehensive search in English literature, including case series, associate randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews were performed using the PubMed databases in 2017 December.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book describes and illustrates the surgical techniques, implants, and technologies used for the purpose of personalized implantation of hip and knee components. This new and flourishing treatment philosophy offers important benefits over conventional systematic techniques, including component positioning appropriate to individual anatomy, improved surgical reproducibility and prosthetic performance, and a reduction in complications. The techniques described in the book aim to reproduce patients’ native anatomy and physiological joint laxity, thereby improving the prosthetic hip/knee kinematics and functional outcomes in the quest of the forgotten joint. They include kinematically aligned total knee/total hip arthroplasty, partial knee replacement, and hip resurfacing. The relevance of available and emerging technological tools for these personalized approaches is also explained, with coverage of, for example, robotics, computer-assisted surgery, and augmented reality. Contributions from surgeons who are considered world leaders in diverse fields of this novel surgical philosophy make this open access book will invaluable to a wide readership, from trainees at all levels to consultants practicing lower limb surgery

Download or read book Recent Advances in Arthroplasty written by Samo Fokter and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-01-27 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book was to offer an overview of recent insights into the current state of arthroplasty. The tremendous long term success of Sir Charnley's total hip arthroplasty has encouraged many researchers to treat pain, improve function and create solutions for higher quality of life. Indeed and as described in a special chapter of this book, arthroplasty is an emerging field in the joints of upper extremity and spine. However, there are inborn complications in any foreign design brought to the human body. First, in the chapter on infections we endeavor to provide a comprehensive, up-to-date analysis and description of the management of this difficult problem. Second, the immune system is faced with a strange material coming in huge amounts of micro-particles from the tribology code. Therefore, great attention to the problem of aseptic loosening has been addressed in special chapters on loosening and on materials currently available for arthroplasty.

Download or read book Outpatient Hip and Knee Replacement written by R. Michael Meneghini and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-18 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outpatient surgery and early discharge is the hottest topic in hip and knee arthroplasty and will continue to be in the coming years: It is expected that over 50% of all hip and knee arthroplasties will be performed in the outpatient setting by 2026. Currently, a central text that encompasses all of the unique aspects of performing hip and knee arthroplasty in the outpatient setting does not exist. Furthermore, as surgeons across the US and abroad are incentivized and encouraged by government and commercial payors, as well as patients, to perform these surgical procedures in the outpatient setting, the educational material must be available to disseminate the unique perioperative and surgical strategies and techniques accordingly. This book is unique in that it will address all the essential elements and considerations to promote surgeon success in this endeavor and enhance patient safety through the transition of hip and knee arthroplasty into the outpatient setting, as well as how to implement such a program into practice. Topics discussed include patient selection, medical optimization and risk management, anesthetic surgical techniques, pain management protocols, and postoperative physical therapy. Later chapters cover practical issues surrounding outcome metrics, discharge criteria, minimizing patient readmissions, financial considerations, and additional implications for hospitals, ASCs and payers. Filling a glaring gap in the literature on this popular new topic, Outpatient Joint Replacement is an ideal resource for orthopedic surgeons, notably hip and knee specialists, as well as residents, fellows and supporting clinical staff.
