Describe the 4 types of SLAP lesions?
Type 1: labral + bicep fraying (anchor intact)
Type 2: labral fraying with bicep tendon detachment
Type 3: Bucket handle tear with biceps tendon intact
Type 4: Bucket handle tear with bicep tendon detachment
What is a Bankart lesion? Name common causes.
Injury to the anteroinferior glenoid labral complex. A common complication of anterior shoulder dislocation or repeated anterior shoulder subluxations.
What are the two types of Bankart Lesions?
Type 1 (Soft): labrum tears from glenoid (only involves soft tissue) MC*
Type 2 (Hard): Labrum tears and breaks part of the glenoid off with it.
What muscles make up the rotator cuff and what is their action and innervation?
Supraspinatus - suprascapular N (C5-C6) - abducts the arm 0-15 degrees then assists delts
Infraspinatus - suprascapular N (C5-C6) - externally rotates shoulder + assists in shoulder extension
Teres minor - Axillary (C5-C6) - externally rotates the shoulder + assist in shoulder extension
Subscapularis - subscapular N (C5-C6) - internal rotation of the humerus
Name all the shoulder ROM and their degrees
Flexion = 180
Extension = 50
Abduction = 180
Adduction = 35
External Rotation = 80
Internal Rotation = 90
What is open/closed packed position of the shoulder?
Open: 50 degrees of abduction + slight horizontal adduction + external rotation
Closed: Abduction + External Rotation
What is the capsular pattern of the shoulder?
External rotation most affected followed by abduction, internal rotation, and flexion
What are the 4 visero-somatic referral sites for shoulder pain and their specifc locations?
- Diaphragm: (via the phrenic) (supraclavicular area, traps and superior angle of scapula
- Gallblader: scapular + deep epigastric tenderness
- Lungs: pulmonary infarct or upper lobe pancoast tumor
- Cardiac: myocardial ishcemia = infraclavicular area Aortic arch = right side of neck Transverse/Descending arch = left medial shoulder
What is the most common cause of non-tramuatic shoulder pain and name the 3 types?
**Tendonitis **
1. Degenerative
2. Traumatic
3. Calcific
What is the critical zone of the shoulder? Whats significant about this area?
A highly vascularized zone at the anastomosis of muscular and ossesous vessels. This zone has great tensile strength. Its the site of tendon rupture and calcium deposits.
