medsibridge UE surgery Flashcards
what precautions are there post SAD
None, there is no repaired structures or surgical debridement of bone
what are the complications associated with SAD
- 2-3% incident rate
- infection
- scalene block nerve injury or pneumothorax
- patient positioning nerve injury
- portal placement suprascapular nerve or vascular injury
- resection incomplete or excessive
- adhesive capulets
what is the prognosis for SAD outcome
Good outcome
Jaeger 2016
1. 90% satisfaction in individuals with partial thickness impact on RTC
2. 70% satisfaction in individuals with full thickness RTC
3. 65% satisfaction in idvidauls with calcific tendonitis
Magaji 2012
individual with positive response to steroid injection, consistent HK test, mid arc pain and positive radiographic impingement reviewed more benefit than individual with 2 or less of the criteria
why is the supraspinatus thought to be more susceptible to tear
- it has a relatively avascular zone at it humeral insertion
how are overhead athlete RTC tears different that routine RTC tears
- routine tears are most often associated with mechanical/degenerative changes or compression of the RTC
- overhead athletes are associated with overuse of the muscles and not a mechanic impingement of the RTC
What is happening that the surgical site of a RTC during the reparative phase of recovery
- 5-8 weeks
- tendon to bone healing - fibroblast are actively producing collagen, callus formation is occurring in the bone tunnels
what is the typical time frame for the remodeling phase of a RTC
8-13 weeks - intitial strength program
13-22 functional return expectation
what complicates are most common with RTc repair
- persistent stiffness - most will improve with continued rehab
- repair failure (older people)
- infection
- CRPS
- DVT
what are the predictors to success of a RTC repair
- good for younger, earlier surgery, smaller tears and non smokers
- poor - over 65, manual laborers, comorbidites particularly with bone health, 5cm or greater tear, work comp injuries, incorrect diagnosis
COLE 2007
Which heals faster tendon to tendon healing or tendon to bone healing
tendon to tendon is fast than tendon to bone
what factors are commonly associated with SLAP injuries
- traction force on the arm
- repetitive overhead activity
- impingement
- instability
what patients have poor prognosis for labral reparis
- individuals over 40 with concomitant RTC tears
- heavy smokers and drinkers
type 1 SLAP lesion are commonly associated with predisposing factors
age, RTC disease, OA
- fraying of the superior labrum, but attachment is intact
type 2 SLAP lesion are commonly associated with what predisposing factors
overhead throwing athletes due to the forceful max ER and ABd position
- labrum and bicep have detached from the top of the glenoid
type 3 SLAP lesions are commonly associated with what predisposing factors
manual laborers
- bucket handle labral tear with intact biceps where the tear is dropping down into the GH joint
