Shoulder Flashcards
Hill-Sachs Lesion
- Compression fx of the posterosuperior aspect of the humeral head
- occurs in anterior-inferior shoulder dislocation
Reverse Hill-sachs
- compression fracture of the anteriosuperomedial side of humeral head
- occurs with posterior shoulder instability
AC ligament
- attach at anteromedial edge of acromion to lateral edge of clavicle
- provided stability in anterior posterior direction
CC ligament
- conoid ligament and trapezoid ligament
- provide restraint to superior inferior surfaces
- conoid > trapezoid
Rockwood AC Type I
- Sprain to AC ligament, stretched, maybe partially torn
- no displacement
Rockwood AC Type II
- AC ligament is completely torn
- CC ligaments stretched byt intact
- mild displacement
Rockwood AC Type III
- AC and CC are ruptured
- complete separation of ACJ
- displacement noted
T/F: Anterior dislocations at clavicle due to indirect forces outnumber posterior dislocations
T
What is often implicated in idiopathic frozen shoulder
- axillary pouch
- coracohumeral ligament
- rotator cuff interval
Two labels of GH instability

rehabilitation
inferior capsular shift
Bankart lesion
avulsion of the anterior band of the inferior GH ligament that occurs with the labrum
Reverse bankart lesion
capsulolabral lesion involving the posterior labrum and posterior inferior GH ligament
What can lead to SLAP lesion in overhead athletes
high eccentric biceps activity
Shortest distance between acromion and supraspinatus happens where
30-70 degrees of elevation
SAI does not happen beyond this
At what age does RC vascularity decrease
40 years old
6 mm responsible for stabilization at scapulothoracic joint
- trapezius
- SA
- Levator scapulae
- rhomboid major and minor
- pec minor
scapulohumeral rhythm
2:1 ratio comprised of 60 degrees of scapular upward rotation and 120 degrees of GH joint movement
Scapular muscle imbalance and altered motor control believed to contribute to dyskinesis
- excessive upper trapezius activation
- decreased or delayed activation of lower and middle trap and SA
neurological causes to scapular dyskinesis
- cervical radiculopathy
- long thoracic nerve palsy
- accessory nerve palsy
Nociceptive pain pattern for subacromial structures and GH joint disorder are located wear
distal to the acromion in the lateral deltoid region
Pain from ACJ is located wear
- top of the acromion surrounding the ACJ and may extend to anterior aspect of the shoulder
Adhesive capsulitis - primary
hx and sx
- persistent pain anterior-lateral shoulder region accompanied by inability to sleep due to pain and gradual loss of motion due to pain
- higher risk in females, age 40-65, presence of diabetes and hypothyroidism
GHJ OA
hx and sx
- gradual onset of pain and associated loss of motion
- 60 or older
- may complain of crepitus or catching with end range motions and stiffness that is worse in the morning
Subacromial pain syndrome
hx and sx
- anterior/lateral shoulder pain
pain with motions at or above shoulder height - complains of pain with mid-range active shoulder elevation (painful arc)
- pain increases at night
rotator cuff tear
hx and sx
- anterior/lateral shoulder pain
- loss of strength
- pain that wakes the patient during sleep
- pain that is worse at night
- age 40 or greater
anterior instability/labral tear
hx and sx
- anterior shoulder pain, apprehension, pain in positions of end range shoulder abd and ER
- hx of anterior/inferior trauma
- recurrent anterior/inferior subluxations or dislocations
- joint clicking/clunking
- joint locking
- hx of dead arm syndrome
posterior instability
hx and sx
- complaints of instability, apprehension, pain in positions of combined shoulder flexion and horizontal add with posterior directed force on humus (pushing or closed chain activities
- hx of trauma with or without recurrent subluxations and dislocations
SLAP lesion
hx and sx
- deep anterior shoulder pain with clicking/clunking/joint locking
- pain with throwing or biceps loading (shoulder flexion and arm supination)
Posterior internal impingement
hx and sx
- posterior shoulder pain during combined shoulder abduction and ER with horizontal plane hyperabduction
- overhead athletes complain of reduced performance
long head of biceps tendinopathy
hx and sx
- anterior pain isolated to long head of biceps in the bicipital groove particularly with shoulder flexion and arm supination
AC joint arthropathy/injury
hx and sx
- shoulder pain at top of shoulder near AC joint increases with end-range shoulder elevation or horizontal add
- hx includes heavy weightlifting, hx of trauma with contact force that displaced shoulder girdle inferiorly
- visual deformity at top of shoulder may be apparent
high irritability
- pain >7
- constant night or rest pain
- high disability level
- pain limits ROM (active>passive)
moderate irritability
- pain 4-6
- intermittent night or rest pain
- moderate disability
- little discrepancy with passive and active with pain at end range
low irritability
- pain <3
- no resting or night pain
- minimal pain at end range with OP
- active = passive
common red flags for shoudler
- tumor
- infection
- visceral pathology
- rheumatological
not so common
- polymyalgia rheumatica in patients >60
- acute long thoracic, spinal accessory, or other nerve palsy
- parsonage-turner syndrome
- visceral causes that irritate mediastinal pleura pericardium
Positive findings to rule in subacromial pain syndrome
- impingement signs (neer, hawkins, jobe (empty can)
- painful arc
- pain with resisted ER
- positive long head of biceps tear
