What is this?
Hill-Sach’s lesion - when the posterior part of the humeral head hits the glenoid head during dislocation causing a cortical depression #
What is an apprehension test in Msk?
Placing the humeral head in a position of imminent subluxation or dislocation which makes the pt recognise the familiar pattern of instability and react with anticipated fear.
What is classed as a recurrent dislocation?
>3 dislocations
Which nerve supplies the biceps brachii, coracobrachialis and brachialis?
Musculocutaneous

(5 listes)
- cell metabolism slows and number decreases
- collagen matrix proteins cross-link
- reduction in type IX collagen
- biochemical changes in aggrecan
- degradation products decrease
What is formed by the modification of hydroxyl using residues in the collagen chains?
