Q

Acromioclavicular

A

Fibrous, little movement, full abduction, adduction and flex, interacts with subacromial space (acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular joints)

16
Q

Adhesive capsulitis

A

Deep aching

17
Q

Inspection

A
  • Swelling/deformity
  • Neck position
  • Muscle wasting
  • Asymmetry of scapulohumeral rhythm
  • Scapula winging
  • Tendon rupture - biceps
18
Q

Tests

A
  • Stability - draw test, sulcus sign

- Apprehension

19
Q

Problems at joint/capsule

A

Arthritis, capsulitis (frozen shoulder)

20
Q

Problems at tendons

A

Rotator cuff tendinopathy, bicipital tendinitis, calcific tendinitis

21
Q

Adhesive capsulitis/Frozen shoulder

A

Painful global restriction of GH movements in all planes (active and passive), absence of joint degeneration

22
Q

Frozen shoulder prevalence

A

2-3%, rare M

23
Q

Frozen shoulder precipitated by

A

Trauma, MI, CVA

24
Q

Frozen shoulder associations

A
  • Diabetes (10-20%, risk increases with duration)
  • Thyroid disease
  • Lung disease (TB, Ca)
  • Cardiac disease/surgery
25
Q

Frozen shoulder painful

A

Ache, night pain, spasm

26
Q

Frozen shoulder adhesive

A

Pain, stiffness, restriction

27
Q

Frozen shoulder resolution

A

Less pain, gradual resolution

28
Q

Pathophysiology

A

Increased incidence in DM - microvascular disease, abnormal collagen repair, predisposition to infection

29
Q

Histology

A

Increased fibrous tissue, fibroblasts, type 3 collagen, vascularity increase in inflammation, synovial cells

30
Q

Genetic

A

Increase in trisomy 7 and 8 in fibroblasts

31
Q

Pathophysiology

A

Early - neuropathic pain with allodynia

Late - dupytrens in histology

32
Q

Treatment

A

Corticosteroids - reduce symptoms, capsular distension (enlarge), manipulation under anaesthetic

33
Q

Investigations

A
  • Usually clinical diagnosis
  • Radiography - GH disease/calcific tendinitis, neoplasm
  • Arthrography
  • Ultrasonography
34
Q

Rotator cuff tendonitis

A

Common cause of shoulder pain, degeneration > dysfunction and impingement

35
Q

History for Rotator cuff tendonitis

A

Painful arc, deltoid, trauma, night-time pain, reduced function, occupation

36
Q

Rotator cuff tendonitis examination

A

Painful arc, reduced active, better passive movements, impingement

37
Q

Rotator cuff tendonitis pathophysiology (Neer)

A
  • Oedema and haemorrhage
  • Fibrosis and tendonitis
  • Tendon degeneration, bony change, tendon rupture
38
Q

Imagining

A
  • Plain radiography
  • Ultrasonography
  • MRI
  • Arthrography
  • Arthroscopy
