Q

Glenohumeral Ligaments

A
  • Superior Glenohumeral Ligament
  • Middle Glenohumeral Ligament
  • Inferior Glenohumeral Ligament
  • Inferior band has to give out for a dislocation to occur
  • 3 of the 4 bands are anterior and help limit ER and create more anterior stability

Q

Inferior Glenohumeral Ligament

A
  • Anterior Band
  • Posterior Band
  • Anterior stabilization in 90 degree abduction
  • Tightens when the arm is abducted and externally rotated and cradles inferior head
  • This is theorized to also add to the posterior/superior shift of the humeral head in throwing

40
Q

A

41
Q

Clavicle Movement

A
Elevation/Depression
- Elevation → 45 degrees
- Depression → 5-15 degrees
Pro/Retraction
- 15 degrees
Rotation
- 30-45 (posterior only)
- The only time it moves anteriorly is to return to its resting position
42
Q

Muscles of the Rotator Cuff

A
  • Supraspinatus
  • Ingraspinatus
  • Teres minor
  • Subscapularis
43
Q

Insertions of the Rotator Cuff Muscles

A

Greater Tubercle
- SIT
Lesser Tubercle
- Subscapularis

44
Q

Primary Forces of the Rotator Cuff and Shoulder Stability

A
  • Rotator cuff helps offset the superior (or positive) pull of the deltoid
  • Helps strengthen joint capsule and thus, indirectly help strengthen anterior and posterior capsular stability
  • All the rotator cuff muscles help compress the humeral head into the glenoid
45
Q

Rotator Cuff Test- Supraspinatus

A

Full can (80 degrees of flexion w/ horizontal abduction 30 degrees) with resistance against flexion

46
Q

Rotator Cuff Test- Infraspinatus and Teres Minor

A

0 degrees abduction with arm in 45 degrees of internal rotation with resistance against external rotation

47
Q

Rotator Cuff Test- Subscapularis Lower Fibers

A
  • Lift off test

- Resistance to internal rotation with GH joint in extension and adduction with the hand behind the back.

48
Q

Rotator Cuff Test- Subscapularis Upper Fibers

A
  • Abdominal push test

- Patient pushes hand into abdomen. Look for humeral internal rotation. Substitution is humeral extension

49
Q

Rotator Cuff Test- Sulcus Test

A
  • Tests for inferior stability of the GH joint
  • Positive test indicates laxity of the superior and middle glenohumeral and coracohumeral ligaments
  • Positive when the sulcus below the acromion process is >1 fingers width
  • Often present in patients with multidirectional instability
50
Q

Hawkins and Kennedy Impingement Test

A
  • Arm and elbow is flexed to 90 degrees, then forcibly internally rotated
  • A positive test is pain and apprehension secondary to the rotator cuff tissues being impinged between the greater tubercle and coracoacromial arch
51
Q

Clancy Impingement Test

A
  • Arm abducted and elbow flexed 90 degrees
  • Arm is adducted horizontally while internally rotating the arm and maintaining 90 degrees flexion
  • A positive test is pain and apprehension as rotator cuff is impinged against the mid to anterior third of the acromion and the coracoacromial ligament
52
Q

Neer and Walsh Impingement Test

A
  • Arm is forcefully flexed causing a jamming of the greater tubercle against the anterior inferior acromial surface
  • A positive test is pain, discomfort and/or apprehension secondary to a supraspinatus and/or biceps tendon pathology
53
Q

External Impingement

A
  • Common in general population
  • Soft tissue is being pinched b/t the humerus and the acromion
  • Includes tissue that is “external” to the capsule
54
Q

Internal Impingement

A
  • Pinching the rotator cuff tendons on the posterior glenoid within the capsule
  • More common in throwers
55
Q

SLAP Lesion

A
  • SLAP Lesion = Superior Labral Anterior-Posterior Lesion

- It is a tear in the superior aspect of the labrum and is commonly associated with undersurface rotator cuff tears

56
Q

Type I SLAP Lesion

A
  • Fraying and degeneration of the superior labrum, normal biceps
  • Most common type of SLAP tear
  • Often associated with rotator cuff tears
  • These are treated w/ debridement
57
Q

Type II SLAP Lesion

A
  • Detachment of the superior labrum and biceps insertion from the supraglenoid tubercle
  • When traction is applied to the biceps, the labrum arches away from the glenoid
  • Typically the superior and middle glenohumeral ligaments are unstable
  • May resemble a normal variant
58
Q

Subtypes of Type II SLAP Lesions

A
  • Anterior
  • Posterior
  • Combined anteroposterior
59
Q

Type III SLAP Lesion

A
  • Bucket handle type tear

- Biceps anchor is intact

60
Q

Type IV SLAP Lesion

A
  • Vertical tear (bucket-handle tear) of the superior labrum, which extends into biceps
  • May be treated w/ biceps tenodesis if more than 50% of the biceps tendon is involved
61
Q

Biceps Tenodesis

A

Involves detaching the LHB from its superior labrum in the shoulder and reattached to the humerus bone just below the shoulder
