22
Q

Chronic Dislocations MOI

A

Ant disloc, intracapsular
Same MOI as acute
As # increase force needed to produce injury decrease

23
Q

Chronic Dislocations S&Sx

A

Pain, crepitation, clicking as arm shifts back to appropriate position,
Individual voluntary decreases disloc

24
Q

Chronic Dislocations Management

A

If injury does not reduce, sling & swathe, PIER & refer
Restore normal motion w/ strengthening
Surgery may be warranted if instability persists

25
Q

Glenoid Labrum Tears MOI

A

Tearing of labrum & IGHL (Bankart)
Associated with trauma & ant instability
Injury to superior labrum
Disrupts LH biceps (SLAP) lesion

26
Q

Glenoid Labrum Tears S&Sx

A

Pain, weakness when arm is over head (abd& external rotation)
Results of disloc/subluxation

27
Q

Glenoid Labrum Tears Management

A

Conservative Rx, rest, NSAIDs

Surgery may be warranted if individual doesnt respond

28
Q

How does bursitis of the shoulder occur

A

Works w/ impingement syndrome

Usually subacromial bursa-impinged w/ over head activities

29
Q

Bursitis S&Sx

A

Sudden shoulder pain w/ initiation, acceleration of throwing motion
Pt. tenderness ant & lateral edges of acromion
Painful arc
Pain referred to distal deltoid attachment

30
Q

Bursitis Management

A

Acute care protocol
R/O other conditions
Find cause,treat cause

31
Q

What Special test can you perform to test for Bursitis of the shoulder?

A
Hawkins Kennedy (supraspinatus/biceps)
Drop Arm (supraspinatus)
empty Can (supraspinatus)
32
Q

Bicipital Tendonopathy MOI

A

Repetitive overuse during rapid motion involving elbow flexion & supination
Irritation occurs as tendon moves in Bicipital groove

33
Q

Bicipital Tendonopathy S&Sx

A

TOP Bicipital groove

+ve yergasons & speeds test

34
Q

Bicipital Tendonopathy Management

A

Restriction of rotational activities
Due to potential vascular impingement when arm is fully addicted, slightly abducted in sling if immobilized
PIER, modalities

35
Q

Traumatic Clavicular # MOI

A

Frequently occur in middle 1/3 of clavicle (where it changes direction)

36
Q

Traumatic Clavicular # S&Sx

A

Swelling, ecchymosis deformity

Pain w/GH movement

37
Q

Traumatic Clavicular # Management

A

Immobilization in cling & swathe

Following Ax by GP, figure 8 brace

38
Q

Scapular # MOI

A

Avulsion # of coracoid

Direct contact

39
Q

Scapular # S&Sx

A

Minimal displacement, localized hemorrhage
Individual reluctant to abduct GH
Pain
R/O underlying pulmonary injury

40
Q

Scapular # Management

A

Immobilize in sling & swathe

Refer to MD

41
Q

Epiphyseal & Avulsion # MOI

A

Epiphyseal centres at shoulder remain unfused longer period of time
Prox humeral epiphysis close at 18-21
