COURSE: Medical Foundations

PROGRAM: Allied Health

TEACHER(S): Christina Brown

CURRICULUM UNIT/TITLE: Allied Health Programs

LESSON TITLE: Sports Medicine: Virtual Knee Replacement

STANDARDS AND OBJECTIVES
CTE PROGRAM STANDARD - MEASUREMENT CRITERIA / Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation, 51.0800.5
Standard 5.3 Explain the impact on the body when there is a fracture or joint replacement.
COMMON CORE STANDARDS / Assess the extent to which the reasoning and evidence in a text support the author’s claim or a recommendation for solving a scientific or technical problem. (9-10.RST.8)
OBJECTIVES / The students will be able to provide reasoning for the decisions made during a virtual knee replacement.
CHECKLIST OF ESSENTIAL CONTENT -IDEAS TO BE COVERED: (Lesson summary) / Visit www.edheads.org to launch the Virtual Knee Replacement simulation. Students can work in partners or groups and use computers with sound capability.
LESSON CONTENT
BELL WORK / What is the purpose of cartilage in the knee?
KEY VOCABULARY / vital signs, cartilage, rongeur, scapel, bovie
TEACHERS ACTIONS/ACTIVITIES:
(include instructions w/all resources) / STUDENT ACTIONS/ACTIVITIES:
(include instructions w/all resources)
The students will be guided through the simulation, while answering the questions below:
A1. Yes, we are doing surgery as all vital signs are in acceptable ranges.
A2. The left knee needs surgery.
A3. Paralytic agent, amnestic agent and relaxant.
A4. To protect the patient's new prosthetic.
A5. To make it easier to match skin when closing incision.
A6. The plastic spacer can be replaced when it wears out
A7. Faulty alignment can create many complications.
A8. Sutures cause less scaring.
A9. 5x the weight of the body. / These questions will be asked throughout the simulation, with an additional sheet to be turned in for a grade.
Q1. Are we performing surgery today?
Q2. Which knee needs surgery?
Q3. What functions should these drugs perform?
Q4. Why do you think knee surgery involves so many drapes?
Q5. What purpose do you think the perpendicular lines serve?
Q6. Why do you think the two tibial components are inserted separately instead of as one unit? .
Q7. Why do you think so many steps are taken to insure proper alignment?
Q8. What is the major difference between these two methods of closing the incision?
Q9. What kind of forces do you think the new knee will need to withstand?
ALIGNED COMMON CORE ACTIVITY
(include instructions w/all resources) / Use the real-world simulation to provide medical evidence for solving a scientific problem related to joint replacements.
CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING - ASSESSMENT / Ask students about the decision making process and how they would feel about being a surgeon.
CLOSURE ACTIVITY / Discuss what professionals would play a role in the treatment of this patient: athletic trainers would evaluate, surgeons would operate, physical therapists would rehabilitate.
