Q

subacromial bursa

A
  • lies in space under acromion
  • cushions rotator cuff mm from acromion
  • compressed during overhead arm action

Q

S&S clavicular #

A
  • generally presents with supporting of arm, head tilted towards injured side w/ chin turned away
  • may appear lower
  • palpation may reveal SHARP &/or deformity

Q

fractures - clavicular - management

A
  • treat for shock
  • sling and swath
  • transport to hospital
  • will likely be braced 6-8 weeks

Q

humeral fracture

  • etiology
  • S&S
  • management
A

etiology: direct blow or FOOSH; proximal # may also be associated with dislocation

S&S: SHARP; neurovascular changes; may be mistaken for a contusion or dislocation

management: treat for shock, splint & sling prior to transport

Q

acromioclavicuar sprain

  • etiology
  • S&S
  • management
A

etiology: FOOSH, direct impact/falling on point of shoulder
- graded 1-6 depending on severity

S&S
- mild to severe pain, swelling, altered ROM, adduction/abduction; step deformity

management

  • ice, stablization, and referral
  • aggressive rehab is required with all grades

Q

GH sprain

  • etiology
  • S&S
  • management
A

etiology: forced abduction and/or external rotation or a direct blow

S&S; pain during movement, especially when recreating MOI, decreased ROM and pain w/ palpation

management 
RICE for 24-48 hours
- sling 
- important to regain full ROM -> STR 
- must be aware of potential development of chronic conditions; (contractures, adhesions)

Q

acute subluxation & dislocation etiology

A
  • anterior dislocation associated with anterior force; forced abduction and ER
  • additional structural damage
  • may dislocate posteriorly or inferiorly (posterior accounts for 1-4%, inferior very rare)

17
Q

shoulder impingement/subacromial bursitis

  • etiology
  • S&S
  • management
A

etiology: mechanical compression; bursal or tendinous inflammation; contributing factors include joint laxity, postural malalignments, and repetitive overhead motions

S&S
diffuse pain around acromion; pain with OH activities; progresses in stages over time

management
active rest; correct biomechanics

18
Q

bicipital tenosynovitis or tendinopathy - etiology

A
  • repetitive overhead, ballistic activity that irritate the tendon & sheath; improper mechanics; impingement
19
Q

S&S bicipital tenosynovitis or tendinopathy

A
  • tenderness over bicipital groove, swelling, crepitus d/t inflammation
  • pain when performing overhead activities
20
Q

management - bicipital tenosynovitis or tendinopathy

A
  • control inflammation followed by gradual program of strengthening and stretching
21
Q

biceps brachii rupture

  • etiology
  • S&S
  • management
A

etiology; results of powerful contraction; typically near mm origin

S&S
- pt hears a resounding snap; sudden and intense pain; deformity; weakness w/ elbow flexion and supination

management
- ice, sling, refer to physician
