MSK Exam - Pitcher Flashcards
3 bones of shoulder
clavicle
scapula
proximal humerus
rotator cuff
supraspinatus
infraspinatus
subscapularis
teres minor
articular surfaces of shoulder
glenohumeral
sternoclavicular
acromioclavicular
scapulothoracic
teres minor action
external rotation
injury to shoulder
intrinsic - problem in shoulder
extrinsic - referred to shoulder
intrinsic injury to shoulder
ligaments, muscle or tendon, bones
muscle
strain
ligament
sprain
extrinsic injury to shoulder
neuro - nerve compression, brachial plexion lesion, herpes zoster
abdomen - hepatobiliary, diaphragm irritation, ruptured ectopic pregnancy
cardio - MI, axillary vein thrombosis, thoracic outlet syndrome
thorax - pneumonia, lung tumor, PE
reproduction of pain
should not happen with extrinsic shoulder pain
also - pain is more poorly localized if extrinsic
tendinopathy
long standing tendinitis
frozen shoulder
adhesive capsulitis
pain with specific movement, stiff, weak, instability
intrinsic shoulder issue
intrinsic issue
can reproduce pain usually on exam
always test with shoulder
strength
patient abduct against resitance
supraspinatus test
empty can test
exam for supraspinatus
patient rotate forearm medially against resistance
subscapularis
lift off test
for subscapularis
patient rotates forearm laterally against resistance
infraspinatus
teres minor
most common rotator cuff issue
with supraspinatus
supraspinatus
superior aspect of scapula to greater tubercle of humerus
susceptible to repetitive motion - baseball, house painter
UPS
pinched supraspinatus in abduction
protection of supraspinatus
subacromial bursa
weakness of rotator cuff
allows upward movement of humeral head
-irritates supraspinatus tendon - and impingement can occur
acute tear - forceful injury mechanism
positive drop arm test
inability to hold arm 90 degree abduction when arm released
complete supraspinatus tear
night pain, gradual onset, pain in shoulder while abductiong arm
impingement of supraspinatus
hawkins test
shoulder impingement test
flex arm and elbow
internally rotate
looks at supraspinatus tendon
drop arm test
supraspinatus
AC separation
almost always traumatic problem
strain, partial tear, complete tear
visualized on inspection for AC separation
grade 3
there are 5 grades of separation
