Presentations Flashcards
What position does a SLAP lesion occur in?
12:00 position
What causes SLAP lesion?
acute trauma or repetitive motion
What are the associated pathologies of a SLAP lesion?
Bankart lesion
Rotator cuff lesion
Type I SLAP Lesion:
Fraying of the superior labrum
No detachment at the biceps tendon insertion
Type II SLAP lesion:
Detachment of the superior labrum and biceps tendon
Type III SLAP lesion
Bucket handle tear of superior labrum
Intact biceps
Type IV SLAP lesion
Bucket handle tear of superior labrum
Tearing of the biceps tendon
What is GIRD due to?
contracture of posterior, inferior portion of the joint capsule
What phase does a SLAP lesion occur?
late cocking phase or during deceleration
Signs and Symptoms of SLAP lesion:
decreased strength
decreased ROM (including IR)
popping and catching
pain inside shoulder
What are the tests for a SLAP lesion?
Biceps load Test II Passive Compresion Test Anterior Slide Test Supine Flexion Resistance Test (Type II Slap lesion) O'Brien's test
What are the treatments for a SLAP lesion?
rest
NSAID
rehab
What is carpal tunnel syndrome?
entrapment of the median nerve while passing the wrist
What are the signs and symptoms of carpal tunnel?
- Paresthesias (numbness, tingling, burning) involving the median nerve distribution (first 3 digits and median half of 4th digit)
- Increasing pain in the hand with repetitive use
- Deep aching pain in the wrist
- intermittent and worse at night
- wasting of thenar and first two lumbricals
What does the rupture of the distal tendon of the biceps cause?
flexion and supination losses
pain in the elbow
can be partial or complete tear
What is the MOI of biceps rupture?
a single, unanticipated extension force that is placed on the elbow when it is in the flexed position
Where does a biceps rupture occur?
distal end where it inserts into radial tuberosity
What are the two main causes of bicep tendon tears?
- injury (force of 40 kg or more against resistance from an elbow in about 90 degrees of flexion
- overuse (fraying over time)
What are risk factors for tendon tear?
age heavy overhead activities shoulder overuse smoking corticosteriod medications
ADLs usually require:
30-130 of flexion (100 degrees total)
During flexion at humero-ulnar joint:
concave surface of trochlear notch of ulna rolls and slides anteriorly on the convex trochlea
Flexion and extension at humero-radial joint:
fovea of radius rolling and sliding across rounded capitulum
