Illustrasyon ng isang tao na may braso na nakapatong sa sling habang ang isang pisioterapeuta ay nag-aayos ng strap.
Isang kabuuang pagpapalit ng balikat: isang metal na bola ay nakapirmi sa buto ng itaas na braso at isang plastik na socket ay nakapirmi sa balikat — muling nililikha ang natural na hugis ng bola at socket. Kieran Hirpara 4.0

Ang pahinang ito ay isinalin ng makina at hindi pa nasusuri ng isang doktor. Ang bersyong Ingles ang siyang opisyal.

Bakit inirekomenda ang operasyong ito

Ang pahinang ito ay nagpapakita kung paano ni Dr. Kieran Hirpara, isang iskurbista sa itaas na bahagi ng katawan sa Mater Private Hospital Rockhampton, ang pamamaraan namin sa klinika. Inirerekomenda namin ang total shoulder replacement kapag ang arthritis o pinsala dahil sa pagkasira ay nagdudulot ng sakit at stiffness na nagbabawal sa iyong pang-araw-araw na buhay. Karaniwan, dumadating ka sa aming klinika sa pamamagitan ng referral mula sa iyong GP o physiotherapist. Sinusuri namin ang iyong kasaysayan, sinusuri ang iyong balikat, at tinutukoy ang mga imahe upang kumpirmahin ang diagnosis.

Para sa matagal nang pagkasira, karaniwan naming sinisimulan ang non-operative na paggamot. Kasama rito ang pagbabago ng aktibidad, physiotherapy, at mga injection. Isinasalang-ala namin ang operasyon kapag hindi sapat ang pagpapabuti mula sa mga hakbang na ito. Para sa ilang mga structural na problema, maaaring inirekomenda ang operasyon nang mas maaga. Ang operasyon ay pinalitan ang mga nasirang ibabaw ng kasukasuan ng mga artificial na bahagi upang mabawasan ang sakit at maibalik ang galaw. Karamihan sa mga pasyente ay nakakabalik ng pundamental na lakas at saklaw ng galaw pagkatapos ng proseso.

Bago ang operasyon

Ihahanda namin ang iyo para sa isang ligtas na pagkakagawa gamit ang isang karaniwang incision. Kailangan mong mag-fast bago ang operasyon at itigil ang ilang gamot ayon sa utos ng iyong surgeon. Mangyaring mag-ayos ng lift pauwi at dalhin ang listahan ng iyong kasalukuyang gamot sa komportableng damit. Maaari kaming mag-order ng X-ray, MRI, blood tests, o isang anaesthetic review bago ito. Ang mga check na ito ay tumutulong sa amin na maunawaan ang kalidad ng iyong buto at pangkalahatang kalusugan. Ipinapastuwa nito na pumili kami ng angkop na paraan para sa iyong balikat. Magbibigay ang iyong surgeon ng partikular na mga tagubilin kung aling mga gamot ang dapat pigilan. Ang pagsunod sa mga hakbang na ito ay tumutulong upang bawasan ang mga panganib at sumuporta sa mas maayos na paggaling. Nandito kami upang gabayan ka sa bawat hakbang ng paghahandang ito.

Sa araw ng operasyon

Dadating ka sa ospital para sa pagpasok at check-in. Gabay ng aming koponan ang iyong mga huling paghahanda. Ang operasyong ito ay isinasagawa sa ilalim ng pangkalahatang anestesia na pinagsama ng regional nerve block. Ikaw ay lubos na matutulog sa panahon ng operasyon, at ang block — isang injeksyon na nagpapabango sa mga nerbiyong nagpapadala ng sensasyon sa braso bago ka gumising — ay nagbibigay ng pagpapagaan ng sakit sa unang 12 hanggang 24 oras pagkatapos ng operasyon. Ang anestesista ay makikilala ka bago ang operasyon at ipapaliwanag sa iyo ang parehong bahagi.

Isinasagawa namin ang operasyong ito gamit ang isang tradisyonal na incision sa ibabaw ng balikat. Ililipat ka sa operating theatre kapag handa ka na. Pagkatapos ng proseso, gagising ka sa aming recovery area. Babantayan ng aming staff ang iyong kaginhawaan at vital signs nang mahigpit. Inaasahan mong magpahinga habang nawawala ang epekto ng anestesia. Bibigyan ka namin ng malinaw na mga tagubilin para sa iyong susunod na hakbang bago ka umalis.

Mga Detalye ng Operasyon

Gagawa ang iyong doktor ng isang hiwa na humigit-kumulang 8 hanggang 10 cm ang haba sa harap ng iyong balikat. Ang bukas na paraan na ito ay nagbibigay ng malinaw na access sa kasukasuan. Dahan-dahang ililipat namin ang mga kalamnan upang maabot ang nasirang buto at cartilage. Tatanggalin ng iyong doktor ang mga nasirang ibabaw. Ang kasukasuan ay palitan ng mga bahagi na gawa sa metal at plastik. Ang mga komponenteng ito ay matibay na ididikit sa iyong buto upang maibalik ang maayos na galaw.

Isasara namin ang hiwa gamit ang mga tahi o staples. Maglalagay kami ng balat (dressing) upang protektahan ang lugar. Karaniwang tumatagal ang proseso ng 1 hanggang 2 oras. Ang panahong ito ay nagbibigay-daan para sa maingat na pagposisyon ng mga bagong bahagi ng kasukasuan.

Ang outpatient total shoulder arthroplasty ay isang ligtas na pagpiparaan para sa mga napiling pasyente. Ibig sabihin, maaari kang umuwi sa araw ng operasyon. Nag-aalok ito ng mas mababang gastusin at mas mahusay na access kumpara sa pag-iingat sa ospital. Tatalakayin ng iyong doktor kung ang setting na ito ay angkop para sa iyo.

Ang layunin ng rehabilitasyon ay bawasan ang sakit at mapabuti ang function. Gabayin ka namin sa mga ehersisyo upang protektahan ang bagong kasukasuan. Ang ilang mga bagong programa ay nagpapahintulot ng agarang paggalaw pagkatapos ng operasyon. Gayunpaman, inaangkop namin ito sa iyong partikular na pangangailangan at kaligtasan. Mahalaga ang mahigpit na teknika sa panahon ng operasyon para sa maaasahang resulta. Kasama rito ang tamang pag-aayos ng mga kalamnan ng balikat at tamang posisyon ng stem.

Pagkatapos ng operasyon

Gising ka sa isang recovery ward kung saan pinamamahalaan ang iyong sakit. Pinapanatili namin ang iyong balikat na sinusuporta ng sling na may mga dressing sa ibabaw ng incision. Karamihan sa mga pasyente ay nananatili ng isang gabi sa ospital pagkatapos ng operasyong ito, bagaman may mga taong kayang pumunta sa bahay sa parehong araw. Kailangan mong magkaroon ng kasama na mananatili sa iyo sa loob ng unang 24 na oras. Ang operasyong ito ay gumagamit ng bukas na paraan na may iisang tradisyonal na incision sa ibabaw ng operadong lugar. Hindi ka makakapagmaneho habang naka-sling o sa loob ng hindi bababa sa ANIM NA LINGGO pagkatapos ng anumang operasyon sa balikat, anuman ang kamay na na-operahan. Kapag pinapayagan ka ng iyong doktor, karaniwan sa pagsusuri sa ika-anim na linggo, maaari kang muling magmaneho. Pakibasa ang aming gabay tungkol sa Pagmamaneho pagkatapos ng operasyon sa itaas na bahagi ng katawan para sa kumpletong detalye.

Pagbawi

Magkakaroon ka ng iisang hiwa sa iyong balikat. Sa unang ilang araw, ang pamamaga at pagkasikip ay normal. Itatapon mo ang iyong braso sa isang sling upang protektahan ang pagkakaayos. Pinapanatili namin ang iyong kumportable sa pamamagitan ng mga iniresetang gamot pang-alis ng sakit. Ang matulis na sakit ay karaniwang nagiging mahinang pang-aalala habang bumababa ang pamamaga.

Ginagabay ka ng iyong pisikal na terapeuta sa iyong rehabilitasyon. Magsimula ka ng mahinahong mga galaw agad-upang maiwasan ang pagkasikip. Ang mga ehersisyong ito ay nakatuon sa pagpapanumbalik ng galaw at lakas. Kailangan mong panatilihin ang iyong sling habang ginagawa ang mga pang-araw-araw na gawain hanggang sa ipagbawal ng iyong doktor. Iwasan ang pag-angat, pagtulak, o paghila gamit ang operadong braso. Maaaring mahirap matulog sa simula; ang pagtayo sa tulong ng mga unan ay madalas nakakatulong.

Habang bumabalik ang iyong saklaw ng galaw, unti-unting muling sisimulan mo ang mga magaan na gawaing pangbahay. Maaari kang bumalik sa trabaho o sports kapag pinahintulutan ka ng iyong doktor at umuunlad ang iyong lakas. Hindi pinapayagan ang pagmamaneho habang nasa sling. Ang aming patakaran ay nangangailangan ng hindi pagmamaneho ng hindi bababa sa anim na linggo pagkatapos ng anumang operasyon sa balikat, anuman ang braso na pinaggamutan. Maaari kang magmaneho lamang kapag pinahintulutan ka ng iyong doktor, karaniwan sa pagsusuri sa anim na linggo. Tingnan ang aming gabay tungkol sa Pagmamaneho pagkatapos ng operasyon sa itaas na bahagi ng katawan para sa mga detalye.

Nag-iiba ang pagbawi sa pagitan ng mga indibidwal. Maaaring magkaiba ang iyong timeline; ang iyong doktor at pisikal na terapeuta ang magbibigay-daan sa iyo batay sa iyong progreso.

Maaaring mangyari

Karamihan sa mga pasyente ay magagaling, ngunit minsan ay maaaring magkaroon ng mga problema. Ang iyong surgeon at ang team ay magbabantay nang mahigpit sa iyo upang maagang matukoy ang anumang isyu.

Ang impeksyon ay isang seryosong panganib. Maaaring mapansin mo ang pamumula na kumakalat mula sa sugat, init, o pagdaloy ng pus. Ang malalim at maninibibig na sakit na hindi gumagaling sa simpleng gamot sa sakit ay isa ring senyales. Maaari kang magkaroon ng lagnat o maramdaman kang hindi maganda ang pakiramdam. Kung makikita mo ang mga senyales na ito, tawagan ang klinika agad o pumunta sa emergency department. Mahalaga ang maagang paggamot upang maprotektahan ang iyong bagong kasu-kasuan.

Minsan ay maaaring bumuo ang pagdurugo ng pamamaga sa ilalim ng balat. Ito ay tinatawag na pseudoaneurysm. Maaaring maramdaman mo ang isang pulsatibong bulsa o mapansin ang biglaang pamamaga malapit sa incision. Bihirang mangyari ngunit posible. Kontakin ang iyong surgeon agad kung maramdaman mo ang isang bagong, pulsatibong masa.

Maaaring maramdaman ng iyong balikat na hindi matatag o lumipat sa tamang posisyon. Ito ay tinatawag na dislokasyon. Maaaring marinig mo ang malakas na "pop" o maramdaman ang biglaang paglipat ng kasu-kasuan. Maaaring maramdaman ng braso na mahina o hindi makagalaw nang normal. Kung mangyari ito, huwag subukang pilitin itong bumalik sa tamang posisyon. Humingi ng urgent na tulong medikal upang maibalik ito nang ligtas.

Maaaring magkaroon ng pagbasag ng buto sa paligid ng implant. Ito ay tinatawag na periprosthetic fracture. Maaaring maramdaman mo ang matulis at biglaang sakit pagkatapos ng maliit na bangga o pagkabagsak. Maaaring mabilis na lumabas ang pamamaga at pamumula. Kung ikaw ay nagdududa ng pagbasag, panatilihin ang braso na tahimik at humingi ng emergency care.

Maaaring hindi balanse ang iyong antas ng pagkakadugo kung kumakain ka ng ilang gamot. Ang mataas na antas ng isang substansyang tinatawag na INR ay maaaring magdagdag ng panganib ng komplikasyon. Kung kumakain ka ng blood thinners o testosterone, ipaalam ito sa iyong surgeon. Susuriin nila ang iyong mga antas bago ang operasyon upang mapanatili ang iyong kaligtasan.

May ilang pasyente na may mas mataas na panganib dahil sa kanilang edad o background sa kalusugan. Ang mga matatanda o mga taong mula sa mga lugar na may mataas na social deprivation ay maaaring magkaroon ng mas maraming fractures o dislokasyon. Ang pagsusuka ay maaari ring makaapekto sa paggaling. Maging tapat sa iyong kasaysayan sa kalusugan upang maipangako namin ang pinakamainam na alaga para sa iyo.

Ang table ng mga komplikasyon sa pahinang ito ay naglalaman ng karaniwang mga rate kung gusto mo ng mga detalye.

Kailan tawagan ang aming klinika

Tawagan kami kung may lagnat, lumalalang pamumula o paglabas ng likido sa sugat, o biglaang matinding sakit. Pumunta sa emergency room kung napansin mong may pamamaga sa binti o hirap sa paghinga. Humingi ng agad na tulong medikal kung mawalan ng pakiramdam o hindi na makagalaw ang iyong kamay o binti. Ang mga senyales na ito ay nangangailangan ng agad na pagsusuri upang manatiling maayos ang iyong paggaling.
