Name Date Period http://www.edheads.org/activities/knee/ Knee Anatomy 1. Label the following diagrams of the knee and the materials for the total knee replacement. Virtual Knee Video Worksheet 2. Who is the patient in the virtual total knee replacement surgery? 3. Who checks the vital signs once the patient is in the operating room? 4. Examine the x- rays. What condition does the patient have that would cause him to have the surgery? 5. What step is taken to prevent wrong surgeries? 6. Why is the tourniquet applied? 7. Why does the surgical area need to be cleaned with betadine? 8. What do you think cauterize means? 9. At what angle does the leg need to be to fully expose the bones of the knee? 10. What are the three bones of the knee joint? 11. With what part of the body is the tibial cutting jig aligned? 12. What kind of cut is used on the femur? patella?
13. When placing components on the knee to check for sizing, what order is used? 14. Why is the plastic spacer used? 15. How long does the cement take to harden once the permanent components of the knee are in place? 16. What is the first layer sutured back together after the permanent components are in place? 17. How long does the average patient remain in the hospital? Analysis Questions 1. What is the primary cause of the pain experienced by patients recommended for total knee replacement surgery? a. the existence of bone spurs in the knee b. pulled muscles or tendons c. hairline fractures of the femur and tibia d. lack of cartilage between the bones of the knee 2. How does the surgeon check the alignment of the femoral prosthetic component before using the bone saw? a. by measuring the angle between the end of the femur and the hip bone b. by drilling a hole in the femur and inserting an alignment device c. by attaching a cutting jig d. by checking sight lines between the femur and tibia 3. How does the surgeon check the alignment of the tibial prosthetic component before using the bone saw? a. by measuring the angle between the end of the tibia and the ankle b. by drilling a hole in the tibia and inserting an alignment device down the center of the bone c. by attaching an alignment jig that is lined up with the big toe and the highest point of the tibia d. by checking sight lines between the femur and tibia 4. Which of the knee bones are cut and shaped during total knee replacement? a. femur, tibia, patella b. femur and tibia c. tibia and patella d. femur and patella 5. Why does the surgeon use trial components? a. to make sure the holes drilled in the bones are in the right places b. to test the fit and range of motion allowed by the components without wasting real ones c. to make certain that the patient doesn t react to the materials used in the real components d. to make certain the bones are cut correctly 6. Why is the knee bent side to side during the test of the trial components? a. to add an extra range of motion to the new knee components b. to test the anesthesia to see if the patient is waking up c. to make certain that there is not too much space between components d. to make certain the bones are cut correctly 7. The excess cement that might exist around the permanent components of the knee is: a. cut from around the components and thrown away b. added to the cement already under the components to make sure they stay in place c. saved for the next total knee replacement surgery d. put between the components to make certain no extra movement takes place 8. Physical therapy after total knee replacement surgery typically lasts: a. 1-2 weeks b. 3-8 weeks c. 5-12 weeks d. 8-16 weeks
