Clinical Guidelines for Phase I Rehabilitation following Knee Articular Cartilage Procedures
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The primary goal of post-surgical rehabilitation following cartilage repair (microfracture, grafting, autologus chondrocyte transplantation) is to control pain, reduce inflammation, protect the repaired tissue during the healing process, restore function, improve range-of-motion, and accelerate soft tissue healing. During the initial healing phase following surgery, six to eight weeks4,11,16,25 or more of passive range of motion is performed to protect the integrity of the repair.3 For a growing number of surgeons continuous passive motion (CPM) has become the Gold Standard for passive motion therapy during phase one of the rehabilitation program.3,5,12,15,22,23,25

Objective- Postoperative pain management in patients that undergone arthroscopy is one of the most important procedures for their rehabilitation. Analgesic injection intra-articularly can facilitate pain control in such patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of ketamine on articular cartilage in rat model. Design- Experimental study. Animals- Twenty Wistar Rats Procedure...
متن کاملContinuous Passive Motion, Early Weight Bearing, and Active Motion following Knee Articular Cartilage Repair
OBJECTIVE To systematically review the literature regarding postoperative rehabilitation for articular cartilage repair: (1) does the use of continuous passive motion (CPM) enhance healing, and if so, what parameters should be applied? (2) Can active range of motion (AROM) be used in place of or with CPM? (3) When can individuals safely resume weight bearing (WB) following repair? DATA SOURCE...
متن کاملBasic science and surgical treatment options for articular cartilage injuries of the knee.
The complex structure of articular cartilage allows for diverse knee function throughout range of motion and weight bearing. However, disruption to the structural integrity of the articular surface can cause significant morbidity. Due to an inherently poor regenerative capacity, articular cartilage defects present a treatment challenge for physicians and therapists. For many patients, a trial o...
