Q

Lesions at the spinoglenoid notch, like those that occur in Superior labral cysts associated with posterior glenoid labral tears can result in weakness in what muscle(s)>

A

Infraspinatus only. The suprascapular nerve passes through the spinoglenoid notch to provide innervation to the infraspinatus after passing through the suprascapular notch under the superior transverse scapular ligament to innervated the supraspinatus muscle in the supraspinous fossa. A session proximal to the suprascapular notch would weakened both the infraspinatus and supraspinatus muscles

Q

Surgical considerations for meniscus tear

A

Resection is recommend when the injury is localized within the 2/3 inner portion of the meniscus due to poor vascularity and decreased chance of healing. Otherwise repair can be considered.

A

Posterior Interosseous neuropathy. Mild compression can result in proximal and dorsal forearm pain without obvious muscle weakness, wasting or sensory deficits.

24

A

Quadratus lumborum

25
Q

Damage to the ACL, MCL and medial meniscus from valves stress on the knee

26
Q

Risk factors for entrapment neuropathy in musicians include:

A

Improper hand position
Small Hand size
Joint Laxity
Changes in performer’s practice schedule

27
Q

Femoral Neck Fracture positioning

A

Displaced fracture result in injured limb externally rotated, abducted and shortened

28
Q

Osteochondritis dissecans

A

Loss of integrity of subchondral bone in focal area of the joint. Usually caused by repetitive microtrauma. Treatment with splinting, rest and PT for Grade 1 (continuous with underlying bone) and grade 2 (parietal continuous). Once lesions become discontinuous, grade 3 or dislocated, grade 4; an orthopedic surgery referral is required

29
Q

Femoracetabular impingement

A

3 types: Cam, Pincher and mixed

Abnormal contact with acetabulum in hip flexion, adduction and internal rotation

30
Q

Intersection Syndrome

A

Due to inflammation of the Compartment 1: APL and EPB and Compartment 2: ECRL and ECRB. Patient will have pain and swelling 4-8 cm proximal to the wrist. Crepitus may be palpable with flexion and extension of the wrist.

31
Q

Little League Shoulder/Glenohumeral Epiphysiolysis

A

Repetitive stress injury due to overuse and improper rest. Typically young teenagers and likely result of torsional overload of the proximal humeral epiphysis during maximal shoulder external rotation during throwing cycle. Patient may complain of lateral deltoid pain. Look for subtle difference in bilateral shoulder X-ray. Treat with 6 week elimination of showing actives followed by 6 weeks of rehab. Patient can return to showing once they are tpainfree and completed rehab w/o setbacks

32
Q

  3. Documented ligament instability
  4. Persistent cervical pain with loss of ROM
33
Q

A
  1. asymmetric left ventricular wall thickening
  2. Genetic component that result in mutation to one of the sarcomere genes
  3. Murmur that increase with valsalva maneuver.
34

36
Q

Strongest restraint to valgus stress in the elbow

A

Anterior bundle of the medial collateral ligament

37
Q

Tendinosis

A

Refers to a degenerative, non-inflammatory tendon injury characterized by absence of inflammatory cells. There’s cumulative microtrauma, hypovascularity with resultant delayed healing, neurally mediated degranulation of mast cells along with substance P release are thought to contribute to it’s pathophysiology

38
Q

In order to improve lower limb kinetic chain and decrease patellar tendon overload, what should be the goal of therapy in patient with patellar tendinopathy.

A

Strengthening the quadriceps and stretching the hamstrings.

39
Q

Likely diagnosis in 4 y/o presenting with right lateral ankle pain after landing awkward on a bean bag and turning his ankle inward. Theres pain and mild swelling laterally and 2-3 cm proximal to the distal aspect of the lateral malleolus. X-rays are appear normal.

A

Salter Harris I fracture, transverse fracture through the hypertrophic zone of the physis, typically not visible on radiographys, though there maybe widening of growth plate. No further imaging is needed. Patient will need a short-leg non-weight bearing cast for 3 weeks.

40
Q

Likelihood of second shoulder dislocation in young athletes

A

Greater than 60%

41
Q

Hook of hamate fracture

A

Presents with vague pain complaints on solar ulnar aspect of the hand. Seen in golfers, hockey and baseball players. Pain is provoked when attempting a tight grip. X-rays can be normal and CT scans should be ordered. Excision of the hook of the hamate is consider the treatment of choice although acute, non-displaced fractures may be treated non-operatively. Non-union rates greater than 50% and as high as 80% can occur with conservative treatment.

42
Q

Majority of throwing injuries in baseball pitchers occurs during which phases of throwing?

A

Between maximum internal rotation and deceleration

43
Q

Several biomechanics issues associated with patallofemoral arthralgia

A
  1. Tight/inflexible quadriceps
  2. Pes Planus
  3. Tight IT band
  4. Weak/ineffective vestals medialis
  5. Weak Hip abductors
    can all contribute to incorrect tracking of the patella.
