ObjectivesBenefits & Challenges with Joint Replacement in the ASC
Joint Replacement Overview
Operative considerations
Staff training
Clinical requirements to consider
Current reimbursement considerations and hurdles
Challenges of Joint Replacement in an ASC Pain Control Physical Therapy Previous potential need for blood transfusion Reimbursement Getting the patient onboard
Benefits of Joint Replacement in an ASC The ASC is a highly specialized and controlled environment Less rigid and more costeffective setting than that of a hospital Patient satisfaction is higher Significantly lower infection rates Advances in surgical technique, implants, comprehensive blood management, and pain management have eliminated the need for an overnight hospital stay
Joint Replacement OverviewPartial Knee Replacement-Concept: Resurface only symptomatic area-Even if some wear exists elsewhere-Increasing in popularity-Less surgery than TKA-No ligaments removed = knee feels more like a normal knee
Three Compartments of Knee
May Resurface Any or All Compartments
Total knee replacementDegenerative kneeCutsImplant componentsImplanted
Total Knee ReplacementWith TKA, the damaged knee surfaces will be resurfaced with metal and plastic implants.
The selected implants are sized to the patients specifications.
Recent AdvancesPatient-specific TKAPre-op 3D imaging used to reverse engineer unique cutting guidesAllows surgery through smaller incisionLess surgical trauma = less pain / quicker recovery
Minimally Invasive Technique
Robotic SurgeryTechnology here to stayAllows more accuracy
Importance unclear
Makoplasty
Blue Belt

TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT
HIP ANATOMY:
Socket
Ball
Femoral neck
Smooth weight-bearing surfaces
Smooth cartilage

Cuts
Implant components
ImplantedAnterior ApproachIncreasingly popularNo muscle detachmentImproved immediate post-op functionNo post-op hip precautionsMay use x-ray during surgeryNot for everyone
Posterior ApproachStill most commonIncision length greatly reducedSome muscles detached from femur boneHistorically higher risk of dislocationHip precautions
Staff Training & Preparation Physician and staff meetings to evaluate needs (anesthesia involvement is key)
Good understanding of supplies and equipment required
Obtain written policies and protocols, physician orders
Consider sending staff to an ASC that currently does total joints to observe
Mock total joint procedure
Partnering with VNA / Rehab Establish what your needs are & what they can provide
Determine postoperative physician orders for nursing & PT
Determine timelines for visits the day of the procedure
Transfer of physical therapy back to the physician practice if necessary
Patient SelectionNon-smokerNo diabeticsNo bleeding disorders or anticoagulant therapyNo liver diseaseBMI parameters to be determined recommending BMI
