34 Figure 4 crossing of legs Designed to increase the rotation in your hip joint In a sitting position, gently grab your operated foot and bring it to rest on your unoperated knee It will be difficult at first, and you may feel some pain around the incision site 34
35 Figure 4 crossing of legs If it is too stiff to accomplish this early on, you may turn your body at an angle to the chair/bed, and bring the foot onto the chair/bed instead of your opposite knee Gently press on your operated leg to flatten it. 35
36 Hip precautions? You may hear staff remind you to maintain hip precautions as they apply to many hip replacement patients, but not to you Dr. Su s hip resurfacing patients are allowed to sit up and bend greater than ninety degrees as tolerated 36
37 Reduce risk of complications Although they do not occur frequently we are always on look out for signs of Infection & Blood clots You should be aware and participate in care to prevent them 37
38 Keeping Lungs Clear Deep breathing Incentive spirometer helps expand lungs Increases oxygen to tissues Promotes circulation Lowers risk of pneumonia Relaxation technique 38
39 Measures taken to prevent blood clots include Timely surgery Regional anesthesia Early mobility and exercises Mechanical compression devices Medication Buffered aspirin 325mg, twice a day 6 weeks or as per doctor 39
40 Things to Look Out For Symptoms of blood clots that should be reported to the doctor include: Unexpected swelling, especially in the calf Continuous low-grade fever Unexpected pain, especially in the calf Chest pain/shortness of breath 40
41 Help prevent infection Wound care Observe wound for signs of infection Drainage, increased redness? Temperature >101 Keep incision area clean and dry Have everyone wash hands If absorbable stitches then ok to shower If staples then No showers until staples are removed 41
42 Long Term Protection Against Infection Remember that you need to take antibiotics before Dental & urologic procedures Antibiotics 1 hour before procedure This is for the rest of your life Alert all your health providers about hip resurfacing Infections in other areas need to be treated promptly to protect your new hip 42
43 Discharge Instructions Pain management Take medications as needed and prescribed Usually every 4hrs and then taper Use icepack or cold therapy 15 minutes 4 times a day Follow PT instructions and do not overdo activity Leg swelling Normal in leg, knee, ankle & foot Take frequent rest periods Avoid sitting longer than minutes Use support hose (TEDs) 43
