Surgery
How does osteolysis of the distal clavicle develop?
repetive overloading: bech press or military press lifts
What is the hx of osteolysis of the distal clavicle?
Gradual onset AC joint pain increased with overhead or bench presses, esp when bar lowered to chest
What are the pathologic changes on Xray for oteolysis?
distal clavicular subchondral bone loss and cystic changes
Tx of distal clavicle osteolysis
avoidance of aggraviting activities, rehab, steroid injection to AC joint, distal clavicle resection
What is does a loud grating scapulothoracic crepitus indicate?

I: flat, II: curved, III: hooked
What augments rotator cuff contact to posteriorsuperior glenoid rim?
anterior glenohumeral head instability and posterior glenohumeral head capsular tightness
Rotator cuff impingement can be caused by:
hooked acromion, thick coracoacromial ligament, glenohumeral joint instability, scapulothoracic dyskinesis and instability
What stage of throwing can cause microtrauma to rotator cuffs due to eccentric overload?
External rotators during decceleration phase
Rotator cuff muscle strengthening should begin with:
closed chain exercises to promote stability and proprioception
Open chain exercises should be used rotator cuff disorders to __.
Correct strength imbalance of shoulder ER relative to IR
Hx of long head biceps tendon ruputure
> 40yo, hx of rotator cuff dz, “pop” at injury, during lifting or pulling
Best imaging for biceps tendon rupture

What muscle is important for anterior and posterior glenohumeral joint stability?
Subscapularis
What is the most frequent type of unidirectional glenohumeral joint instability?
Traumatic anterior instability
What is multidirectional glenohumeral joint instability due to?
