Outline for Quiz #1Section 1: BiomechanicsBackground:- The study of structure and function of biological systems by methods of mechanics- Concerns internal and external forces acting on the bodyo And the effects of these forces- Wide-reaching fieldo Solid and fluid mechanics o Motion sports mechanicso Automobile crash testso Tissue engineering and biomaterials: artificial organs and joints- Orientation of the body:o Proximal – upward, near head Superioro Distal – downward, near feet Inferioro Medial – inward, towards bodyo Lateral – outward, away from bodyo Anterior – forward, towards noseo Posterior – backward, towards buttocksTotal Knee Replacement:- Anatomy of the kneeo Three major components Femur – superior portion Tibia – inferior portion Patella – knee cap- Your quadriceps and tibia are connected by the patella tendon o Three major joints Patello femoral joint Tibio femoral joint Tibio fibula joint – NO ARTICULATION- Other two are more importanto Meniscus tissue Deepens the socket of the tibia and cushionso Cartilage on cartilage articulation Less friction than bone on bone Lubricated with synovial fluid – very slipperyo Stabilizers Static – ligaments (muscle that connects bone to bone)- Primary restraint (medial, lateral, anterior, posterior)Key:Bold: terms to knowItalics: concepts to knowColor: will very likely be on the examo ACL – cross-shaped (X) Primary restraint to anterior subluxation Tears when you plant your foot and turn too quickly (common in basketball and soccer)- Secondary rotary (rotation) There are 6 degrees of freedom in the knee (x,y,z)- 3 lateral- 3 rotational- Conditions that lead to total knee replacemento Osteoarthritis Types:- Primary (idiopathic)- Secondary – post-traumatic arthritis Commonality:- More common than hip osteoarthritis - Affects 80% of people older than 75- Same risk in males and females until menopause, then more common in females Risk factors:- Increasing age- Gender: female- Obesity- Trauma- Infection- Repetitive occupational trauma Symptoms:- Pain- Loss of function- Stiffness- Swelling- Deformity- Crepitus Treatments:- Non-operative:o Non-pharmacological Educational methods Weight loss Assistive devices Physical therapy Occupational therapyo Pharmacological NSAIDS Glucosamine sulphate Intra articular Corticoteroids- cortisone shots Intra articular Hyluronic acid- Operativeo Arthroscopy (arthroscopic debridement) Shave off cartilage o Osteotomy 90 degree unrestricted knee flexiono Knee replacement surgery Partial knee replacement Total knee replacemento Rheumatoid arthritis Genetic Autoimmune Dissolves cartilage - Similar symptoms as above, because cartilage wear is similar to dissolving cartilage o Joint Capsule RuptureStability is lost Arthritis is developed if untreated- This is due to a change in load bearing Cartilage is wearing away- Can lead to a joint replacement Even laproscopic, minimally-invasive procedures need to go through the joint capsule- Indications for surgeryo Cartilage breaks down, bones start to rub against each other (painful)o Body spurs from around the joint and ligaments start to weaken - History of knee replacementso Partial vs. total partial: only replace one condyle – the other is still intact total: replaces both condyles. Full tibial and femoral components.o History of total Materials tried- Ivory (started the idea of biocompatibility), nylon, pig muscle, pig fat- Ivory joint hinged with metal or plaster- Metal on plastico Materials used today Stainless steel Cobalt-chromium alloys- Metallosis and failure concerns Titanium Tantalum Titanium + Tantalum into the trabecular bone (porous, spongey bone)- bone can better integrate into the device Zirconium UHMWPE (plastic) Ceramic- Not common. Expensive, not strong enough. Cemented- Uses bone cement- For people with low bone density- Not preferred Cementless- No bone cement – preferred, because if replacement surgery is needed, cement removes extra bone, which is undesirable - Allows for bone-integration- Hybrid: femoral has no cement, tibial uses cementWinner of material combination: metal on plastic- The medial condyle is larger than the lateral- Classificationso Unconstrained (many types) PS – Middle stem in tibial component separating the two condyles- most popular Cruciate retaining – No middle stem- *stem is for posterior function of the ligament Mobile bearing prosthesis – allows for motion- non-rigid- load-sharing- failure likely – motion of device allows for looseningo Constrained 1 degree of freedom – compensates for lack of dynamic restrainto Unicondylar only replaces one of the two condyles- Criteriao Biocompatibleo Structurally and functionally similar Still has a range of motion and is similarly shaped Not a lot of frictiono Long lasting Appropriate strength, maintains shapeThe less surgeries, the better- Surgicalo Goals: Restore mechanical alignment Preserve the joint line Balance ligaments – must be relaxed for surgery- varus- valgus Normal Q-angle-Quadriceps angle – should be under 20 degreeso Otherwise risk of sports injuries, specifically ACL tears- Angle between the neck of the femur (goes into hip) and other side of the femuro Surgical Procedure Requires sawing of the femur and insertion of the new condyles via drilled holes and peg inserts Tibia also requires drilling down to create scaffold for the bottom componento Robotic More precise incisions Makes for a better-positioned implant Reduce risk of future complicationsHip Arthroplasty- Hip Jointo Components Femoral head (ball)- Can be cemented or uncemented Acetabulum (socket)-Has a deep socket so that it doesn’t dislocate- Shell and linero Shell: metal bone anchoro Liner: PE for low frictionCan have replacement surgery to only replace the liner Stem-Allows for height adjustment o Rotation – 3 degreeso Types (3): 1) Resurfacing- Just replaces the ball and socket 2) Mini-hip- Has a small stem 3) Total hip- Larger stem- Implanto Surgery – non-ligament sparing because the socket is replacedo Surgery techniques Posterior- Posterior direction of surgery- Need to go through more muscle – invasive Lateral- Common- Could cause dislocation (abductor muscles) Antero-lateral-
