This patient does not tolerate sharp debridement, so an enzymatic debridement ointment should be used.

Tests are considered to be positive with pain reproduction with or without an audible click[1] [2]. The Fitzgerald test has a sensitivity of .98[1][3].

Hallux rigidus

Vitals to monitor with decreased Hemoglobin

Heart rate and blood pressure The drop in the patient's hemoglobin levels reveals that the patient has acute blood loss due to the surgery. This acute blood loss causes decreased overall blood volume. When standing for the first time post-op, gravity can cause blood to pool in the lower extremities which results in inadequate intravascular volume to maintain a stable overall blood pressure and the subsequent symptoms of orthostatic hypotension. These symptoms can include: light-headedness, blurred vision, dizziness or syncope. The therapist would be prudent to monitor the patient's blood pressure and heart rate, especially when getting the patient to sitting and standing for the first time. The therapist would also want to establish good communication with the patient as to their symptoms. This would help to avoid a potential syncopal episode when ambulating with the patient for the first time.

Anterior hip precautions

Patients are to be positioned differently depending on the surgical approach taken by their doctor. Patients who have anterior dislocation precautions should avoid hip extension. The head of the bed should remained elevated to at least 30° to prevent unintentional extension. A pillow can be used behind the knee on the surgical side to further prevent hip extension. A trochanteric roll can also be used for the anterior approach patient, to prevent external hip rotation. In contrast, patients who undergo a THR with a posterior approach should be positioned in a flat bed (with the foot of bed elevation option disabled) with a trochanteric roll positioned just proximal to the knee to maintain hip neutral rotation. No pillows or bolsters should be placed under the knee on the surgical side.

Left versus right sided heart failure

The right side of the heart usually becomes weaker in response to failure on the left side. The right side of the heart brings in the circulated blood from the body and sends it to the lungs for oxygen. When the left side of the heart weakens, the right side of the heart has to work harder to compensate. Again, as the heart muscle loses strength, blood and fluid become backed up in the body. You may experience swelling and trouble catching your breath.

FES goal

When using functional electrical stimulation, the therapist should set the amplitude just high enough to provide the stimulation required to dorsiflex the ankle to approximately 10 degrees with the activation of the dorsiflexor muscles. The electrical stimulation will supplement the active contraction of the muscle, not eliminate the active use of the muscle during the functional task. A maximal contraction is not the goal - the muscles need only to contract enough to dorsiflex the ankle to 10 degrees during swing phase in order to clear the foot. Amplitude needs to be higher than a sensory level to assist a muscle with 3-/5 strength in generating sufficient muscle activation, but should not be so high that the ankle moves into full dorsiflexion without the active use of the dorsiflexor muscles.
