Miller's Sports Review Flashcards
Ortho sports review
What causes os acromiale?
Failure to fuse the meso and meta-acromion during development
Name the structures within the rotator interval
SGHL, CHL and LHBT
What is the rotator cable?
Thickening of the CHL from just posterior to the LHBT to inferior infraspinatus
Difference between Kim and Jerk tests
Kim = direct posterior load with pain and/or click. Jerk = posterior subluxation with posterior load that reduces with abduction.
Biceps pathology testing more sensitive or more specific?
Sensitive, all have poor specificity
What x-rays are these and what are they looking for?
Top = West Point view looking for bony Bankart. Bottom = Stryker notch looking for Hill=Sachs.
What’s your diagnosis and treatment?
HAGL. Open > arthroscopic repair.
Indication for early surgical intervention in a first time dislocator?
High risk patient, young, male, contact sports and/or military
% of people with asymptomatic rotator cuff tears that become symptomatic?
51% at 3 years, 50% with partial tears progress to full thickness tears. There is a direct correlation with symptoms and tear progression.
Supraspinatus M-L footprint size
12-14mm
Critical shoulder angle
If >35, higher shear forces across shoulder and correlated with rotator cuff tears. If <30, there are increased compressive forces across the joint and higher risk for osteoarthritis.
Cuff tear classification
Small <1cm, medium 1-3cm, large 3-5cm, massive >5cm
Goutallier classification
0 = normal, 1= streaking, 2= muscle > fat, 3= fat = muscle, 4 = fat > muscle
Effectiveness of PT in cuff tears
Up to 75% will improve enough to not need surgery. Biggest predictor of failing PT was patient expectations.
Benefit of arthroscopic cuff repair vs open
Equivalent outcomes with less pain, better visualization and lower risk
Single vs double row rotator cuff repair
Equivalent outcomes, double row may be better in large tears. Double row failure associated with type II retears at the musculotendinous junction
Indications for SCR
No arthrosis, intact or repairable posterior cuff, intac subscap, young and active.
Management of calcific tendinitis
Needle lavage under fluoroscopy. If associated with cuff tear then arthroscopic debridement +/- cuff repair.
Native humeral head height
8mm proximal to top of greater tuberosity
Walsch classification
A1 = minor erosion, A2 = deeper erosion. B1 = posterior wear. B2= biconcave wear. B3= retroverted from wear. C = >25 deg retroversion
Normal acromiohumeral interval
8-10mm
Hamada classification
I) AHI >6, II) AHI <5, III) acetabularization of acromion, IVa) GHJ narrowing w/o acetabularization, IVb) GHJ narrowing w/acetabularization, V) humeral head collapse
Position of shoulder fusion
20 abd, 30 FF and 40 IR
Indications for shoulder arthrodesis
Young person w/severe OA, paralysis, recurrent dislocator (Ehlers-Danlos)
Most common TSA complications
1) Glenoid loosening, 2) cuff failure, others: stiffness, infection (worry if you see humeral loosening), nerve injury and instability
Treatment of failed subscap in anatomic TSA
If acute (<2 weeks) re-repair. If > 4-6 weeks, convert to RSA
Pseudoparesis vs pseudoparalysis?
Pseudoparesis: supraspinatous weakness limiting FF to 90 degrees until humerus hits acromion. Pseudoparalysis = anterior superior escape due to additional subscap tear
What post RSA scapular spine fractures are operative
Type 3 scapular base fractures treated with ORIF
Thrower’s shoulder with pain in late cocking/early acceleration?
SLAP tears and internal impingement
Thrower’s shoulder with pain in deceleration
Rotator cuff
Pathophysiology of internal impingement in throwers shoulder
In late cocking/early acceleration the posterior superior rotator cuff and labrum are entrapped between the humerus and acromion causing partial articular sided cuff tears at junction of SS and IS and peel-back SLAP tears
PT modalities for thrower’s shoulder and internal impingement
Sleeper stretching, pec minor stretching and scapular mechanics
What causes this?
This is a Bennett lesion, it’s a posterior glenoid exostosis caused by internal impingement vs posterior capsule traction
Batter’s shoulder
Posterior subluxation of the humerus on the glenoid at the end of the swing, treatment is a posterior stabilization procedure on the labrum
Function of and nerve at risk in proximal anteromedial portal in elbow arthroscopy
Common viewing portal for the anterior joint, MABCN, ulnar nerve and median nerve at risk
Elbow arthroscopy portals that put the radial nerve at risk
Anterolateral > proximal anterolateral portal. These are typically your working portals
Physical exam maneuvers testing the anterior band of the MCL?
Valgus stress test. The milking maneuver tests the posterior band.
Conservative treatment of MUCL injuries
No throwing for 12 weeks, PRP, therapy and then graduated throwing
Indications for operative management of MUCL injury
Acute complete rupture or partial attritional rupture that has failed conservative management
Indications for surgery in triceps tears
Complete or >50% rupture
