arthroscopy - (ANSWER)diagnostic procedure used to visualize the internal structure of joints, most
commonly knee or shoulder
indication: client w/ joint injury,
pre: informed consent
post: assess neurovascular status and dressings on client's limb, apply ice, elevate extremity
bone scan - (ANSWER)diagnostic procedure that evaluates entire skeletal system - may detect hairline
fractures, tumors, disease of bone
gallium and thallium scans - (ANSWER)diagnostic procedure done to detect bone problems that are
more sensitive than what a bone scan could pick up
indication: arthritis, osteomyelitis, fractures, osteoporosis, primary or metastatic bone cancer, bone pain
DXA (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry) - (ANSWER)diagnostic procedure that estimates density of bone
mass - usually hip or spine - presence/extent of osteoporosis
indication: loss of height, bone pain, fractures
EMG (electromyography) - (ANSWER)diagnostic procedure that determines the presence and cause of
muscle weakness - nerve conduct study
arthroplasty - (ANSWER)refers to surgical removal of a diseased joint due to osteoarthritis,
osteonecrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, trauma, or congenital abnormalities - replacing it with a prosthetic

total joint arthroplasty - (ANSWER)also called a total joint replacement, involves replacement of all
components of an articulating joint
total knee arthroplasty - (ANSWER)involves the replacement of the distal femoral component, the tibia
plate, the patellar button - surgical option when all conservative measures fail
unicondylar knee replacement - (ANSWER)done when a client's joint is diseased in one compartment of
the joint
total hip arthroplasty - (ANSWER)involves the replacement of the acetabular cup, femoral head, and
femoral stem
hemiarthroplasty - (ANSWER)refers to half of a joint replacement, fracture os the femoral neck cane
treated only with replacement of femoral component
goal of joint replacement - (ANSWER)improve functional capacity and quality of life
when do we replace a joint - (ANSWER)pain when bearing weight
joint crepitus and stiffness
joint swelling
