complete tear of supraspinatus symptom
can’t keep arm up at 90 degree
rotator cuff tear
- chronic use problems - tendonopathy, tendonitis, bursitis
- injury to mm
- disuse atrophy
shoulder impingement symptoms
- night pain
2. localized pain, crepitus, or sudden pain while abducting the arm
shoulder impingement causes
- superior and posterior mm atrophy
2. bone spurs
shoulder impingement involve which mm?
supraspinatus
shoulder impingement exams
hawkins and near impingement signs
shoulder impingement definition
weakness of the rotator cuff -> superior sublaxation of the humeral head when the shoulder is abducted beyond 90 degrees
shoulder impingement tx
surgery
AC separation
cause?
diagnose with?
tx?
- injury associated problems
- dx by inspection
- tx: surgery, or can allow it to heal by itself (but can decrease function of shoulder)
shoulder arthritis hx
- significant shoulder use
2. other joints have arthritis
shoulder arthritis symptoms
- generalized tenderness
- decreased shoulder ROM
- disuse atrophy
- active or passive crepitus
- can be u/l
shoulder arthritis x-ray
- substantial lost of joint space
- a lot of sclerosis
- cartilage degen
- bone spur
shoulder arthritis tx
- non-narcotic meds for pain
2. therapy - hot or cold motion
adhesive capsulitis symptoms
- worst pain at night
- loss of active and passive ROM
- hear and feel active and passive crepitus
adhesive capsulitis risk factor
diabetes mellitus
adhesive capsulitis exams
MRI
adhesive capsulitis tx
- increase ROM with therapy or surgery if therapy doesn’t work
- pain med
bursitis onset
young
bursitis history
- trauma
- repeated trauma
- repetitive motion
bursitis physical finding
- active and passive ROM tenderness with abduction (tendonitis only have active ROM tenderness)
- no atrophy
bursitis diagnose with
how to differentiate it between bursitis, tear, frozen shoulder, and arthritis
lidocaine injection challenge - traumatic reduction in pain and improvement in shoulder function after injection
(tear - reduction in pain after injection but still have weakness)
(frozen shoulder and arthritis - does not have significant pain and shoulder function improvement)
bursitis tx
- find underlying cause of inflamm
- restrengthen mm around rotator cuff with therapy
- lidocaine injection
SLAP lesion definition
tear located superior labrum, extends anterior to posterior
SLAP history
- athletes who throws a lot
- works overhead
- falling and grabbing something to break fall
SLAP physical exam findings
- reproduce pain with click (abduction and external rotation and resist motion by coming back to normal position)
- no atrophy
- no reproduce pain with palpation
SLAP exams
MRI
SLAP tx
- allow it to sclerosis itself to heal (takes a long time to heal due to low vascular supply)
- surgery if severe
lateral hip tenderness with palpation dx
bursitis
trochanteric bursitis physical exam
- gait
2. reproduce pain
trochanteric bursitis diagnose with and treatment
lidocaine injection
laterla hip pain with paresthesia dx
meralgia paresthetica
meralgia paresthetica pathogenesis
irritation of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve as it goes over inguinal area
meral paresthetica physical exam findings
- sensory problems
- not map to one dermatome
- anterior-lateral around thigh and don’t go below the knee
meral paresthetica caused by
- mechanical irritation
2. compression due to overweight person with abdominal fat
posterior hip pain dx
SI, lumbar, unusual true hip joint problem
osteoarthritis of hip joint history findings
- sport injury
- inisidious onset
- gelling pain (pain when first get up in the morning or after not moving for a period of time, pain improves as day goes on and move around)
osteoarthritis of hip joint physical exam findings
- nonspecific pain
- restricted abduction
- referred pain
anterior/groin pain dx
true hip pain
- osteonecrosis
- sepsis
- fracture
- synovitis
osteonecrosis definition
compromise vascular supply to femoral head -> collapse of femoral head
osteoncrosis history finding
- worst with weightbearing and motion
2. pain at rest and night
hip fracture history finding
- worst with weightbearing
2. pain with rotation
hip fracture diagnose with
- X-ray (can’t see occult fracture until it heals)
- MRI - if fracture near soft tissue
- CT with bone windows for long bone
hip fracture tx
- non-weightbearing
2. pain control
hip fracture onset
sudden onset in elderly
low anterior thigh pain dx
referred hip pain from
- true hip pain
- upper femur
- femoral neck
- lumbar radiculopathy
referred hip pain symptoms
direct pressure and ROM do not reproduce pain
other types of arthritis
- Reactive: aseptic arising 1-6 weeks after extra- articular infection, most common from GI or GU infection.
- Septic: site of infection, warm, swollen, red, usually localized
- Psoriatic: more than one site, non-rheumatic and associated with rash
- Rheumatic: specific criteria for diagnosis, + RF or anti-CCP
osteonecrosis risk factor
- excessive alcohol use
2. frequent steroid use
hip special exams and what it tests
Faber - hip joint, SI, psoas
significant pain at hip ROM end point is a strong indicator for
- osteonecrosis
- occult fracture
- acute synovitis
- metastasis

- evulsion of quad tendon
- tumor
plantar fasciitis caused by
abnormal gait -> over pronate foot -> stress on plantar fascia –> pain at anterior calcaneus
plantar fasciitis symptoms

- gets better with massage and as the day goes on
plantar fascitis treatment
- find underlying cause
- counerstrain

- hip motion that might be affecting gait
plantar fasciitis physical exam findngs
reproduce pain with palpation
plantar fasciitis associated with
tarsal syndrome (due to plantar fasciitis affecting tibial nerve)
plantar fasciitis radiograph finding
bone spurs but often not the cause of pain
