Humeral & Shoulder pathologies

Question 1

Trauma to the upper shoulder region resulting in a partial or complete tear of the AC &/or coracoclavicular ligaments

Answer 1

AC joint separation

Question 2

The distal clavicle usually is displaced superiorly. This injury is most commonly is caused by a fall

Answer 2

AC dislocation (Acromioclavicular)

Question 3

an injury of the anteroinferior aspect of the glenoid labrum. This type of injury often is caused by anterior dislocation of the proximal humerus. Repeated dislocation may result in a small avulsion fx. in the anteroinferior region of the glenoid rim.

Answer 3

Bankart lesion

Question 4

an inflammation of the bursae or fluid filled sacs enclosing the joints. It generally involves the formation of calcification in associated tendons, causing pain and limitation of joint movement

Answer 4

Bursitis

Question 5

a compression fracture of the articular surface of the posterolateral aspect of the humeral head that often is associated with an anterior dislocation of the humeral head

Answer 5

Hill-Sachs defect

Question 6

A disability of the shoulder joint that is caused by chronic inflammation in and around the joint. It is characterized by pain and limitation of motion

Answer 6

Idiopathic chronic adhesive capsulitis

Question 7

Idiopathic chronic adhesive capsulitis is also known as

Answer 7

frozen shoulder

Question 8

an impingement of the greater tuberosity and soft tissues on the coracoacromial ligamentous and osseous arch, generally during abduction of the arm

Answer 8

Impingement syndrome

Question 9

a noninflammatory joint disease characterized by gradual deterioration of the articular cartilage with hypertrophic bone formation.

Answer 9

Osteoarthritis

Question 10

What is the most common type of arthritis and is considered to be part of the normal aging process. It generally occurs in persons older than 50 years, chronically obese persons and athletes

Answer 10

Osteoarthritis

Question 11

Osteoarthritis is also known as

Answer 11

Degenerative joint disease

Question 12

A reduction in the quantity of bone or atrophy of skeletal tissue. It occurs in postmenopausal women and elderly men resulting in bony trabeculae that are scanty and thin.

Answer 12

Osteoporosis

Question 13

A chronic systemic disease characterized by inflammatory changes that occur throughout the body’s connective tissues

Answer 13

Rheumatoid arthritis

Question 14

Acute or chronic and traumatic injury to one or more of the muscles that make up the rotator cuff-teres minor, supraspinatus, infraspinatus and subscapularis. Their injuries limit the range of motion of the shoulder

Answer 14

Rotator cuff

Question 15

Repeated irritation due to the bone spur can lead to a partial or complete tear of the supraspinatus tendon.

Answer 15

Rotator cuff

Question 16

Traumatic removal of humeral head from the glenoid cavity. 95% of shoulder dislocations are anterior in which the humeral head is projected anterior to the glenoid cavity

Answer 16

Shoulder dislocation

Question 17

Inflammatory condition of the tendon that usually results from a strain

Answer 17

Tendonitis
