Q

What is a slap tear

A

Superior labrum anterior to posterior tear of the shoulder

The “slap” anchors the long head of the biceps

17
Q

What is the best test to evaluate for a SLAP tear

A

O’Brien test

18
Q

What is the gold standard to evaluate for a SLAP tear

A

MRI with arthrogram

19
Q

What is the TX approach to slap tears

A

NSAIDS rehab, limit aggravation

Rehab failure= surgical repair

20
Q

What are two uncommon bone formations that can lead to thoracic outlet syndrome

A

Cervical rib at C7 or long transverse process of C7

21
Q

What are the clinical S/s of thoracic outlet syndrome

A

Neurologic:

  • Diffuse, non-specific complaints of the entire UE
  • Ulnar neuropathy

Vascular:

  • Swelling and discoloration
  • Fatigue and weakness
  • Worse when arm overhead
22
Q

What is the ADE of thoracic outlet syndrome

A

Chronic HEadache

Or loss of overhead ROM

23
Q

What is the PE approach to Thoracic outlet syndrome

A
Check for a Bruit or MAss 
Evaluate distal pulses bilaterally 
Check Distal nerve function 
(Ulnar nerve) 
Roos Test- Aka Elevated arm stress test
24
Q

When should you order an EMG in thoracic outlet syndrome

A

TO r/o ulnar nerve entrapment

25
Q

What is the TX approach to Thoracic outlet syndrome

A

Non op: 3-6 months pt

Op: to remove variant bone formation or tumor

26
Q

What are the ADE of Tx for thoracic outlet syndrome

A

Complex regional pain syndrome (use gabapentin)

Intercostal neuroma, frozen shoulder
Brachial plexus injury
PTX

27
Q

A brachial plexus injury at birth manifests as what disorder

A

Neonatal Brachial plexus palsy

28
Q

What is the most common palsy’s in neonatal brachial plexus palsy

A
Most common is erbs ( C5-6) 
Lumped palsy ( C8-T1)
29
Q

What are the clinical S/s of neonatal brachial plexus palsy

A

Psuedo paralysis

Increased irritability associated with a clavicle/ numerous Fx

30
Q

A baby with no spontaneous movement with decreased reflexes suspect?/

A

Neonatal brachial plexus palsy

31
Q

Waiters tip position in a baby is a sign of.. ?

A

Erbs palsy ( neonatal brachial plexus palsy )

Shoulder adducted and IR, elbow extended, forearm pronated, wrist flexed

32
Q

What is horners syndrome

A

A sign of poor palsy prognosis in a baby

  • loss of sweating on the face
  • Ptosis
  • miosis
33
Q

What is the Tx approach to neonatal brachial plexus palsy?

A

Non-operative-
Monitor nerve function
Prevent contractures/deformities
Physical therapy

Operative-
Surgical to address imbalance

34
Q

What is Torticollis

A

Congenital- Unilateral sternocliomasiod contracture at birth
(Most common)

Acquired- eyes (nystagmus, superior oblique palsy), spine (atlantoaxial rotatory displacement), trauma, infection, neoplasms

35
Q

How does AARD present in torticollis

A

Atlantic axial rotary displacement

Tilt will be the same as torticollis with a spasm on the unaffected side

36
Q

What is the referral criteria for Torticollis

A

All pts with acquired and CMT for PhyTx

37
Q

Tx approach to Torticollis

A

Non-operative-
Congenital= stretching
Acquired= treat reason
