Gold standard to Dx RTC tear | arthrogram |
Sx of RTC tear | signif decr ABD AROM, no reduction in PROM, + drop arm, poor SHR |
Flexor tendon repairs in hand initial immobilization | 3-4wk in splint with wrist/digit FLEX |
Progression of PT for hand flexor tendon repairs | In splint – resisted extension, passive flexion. 4wk- AROM to tolerance. Wound mgmt, edema control, passive exercise first. Active extension initiated first, then flexion. Resisted and fxnl exercise when full AROM. |
Extensor tendon repairs of hand immobilization | Distal: 6-8wk with DIPs in neutral. Proximal: wrist/digits in extension 4wk. |
Ext tendon repair PT progression | 6wk- AROM with PIPs neutral, Active extension followed by flexion, Resistive ex once full AROM. |
Cemented THR | tolerates full WB immediately, better for fragile bones, those that need to benefit from immediate mobility, may crack with aging with loosening |
Noncemented THR | more stressful on bones during surgery, used with younger and active |
Positioning in bed for THR | wedge to prevent ADD |
Position to avoid with THR | FLEX >90d, ADD, IR. |
ORIF for Femoral Fx initial mobility | NWB for 1-2wk with crutches/FWW. Partial WBAT after that. |
P.O. considerations for ACL reconstruction | Hinged brace 20-70d initially, NWB for 1wk, off brace in 2-4wk |
PCL repair bracing | 0d at first |
Partial meniscectomy P.O. considerations | PWBAT once full knee EXT achieved, AROM encouraged PO Day 1, Strengthening by Day 3 |
Meniscal repairs PO considerations | NWB for 3-6wk, rehab begins 7-10d PO |
PO considerations for Harrington rod placement | early mobilization in bed, effective coughing, amb 4-7d PO, no heavy lifting or twisting/bending |
