Shoulder Flashcards
S2Q2
SHOULDER:
shoulder complex (3)
GHJ ACJ SCJ STJ
JOINTS
- shoulder complex: scapula clavicle humerus
- GHJ: glenoid fossa, prox humerus
- ACJ: acromion clavicle
- SCJ: sternum clavicle
- STJ: scapula, thoracic wall
SHOULDER: Ligaments
GH - (3), reinforcement, weak, common dislocation (2)
coracohumeral - reinforcement
coracoclavicular
acromioclavicular
GH LIGAMENT
- sup mid inf
- anterior reinforcement
- weak inf = common disloc in antinf, ant
CORACOHUMERAL LIGAMENT
- superior reinforcement
CORACO-CLAVICULAR LIGAMENT
- primary ACJ stabilizer
ACROMIOCLAVICULAR LIGAMENT
- ACJ capsule
SHOULDER: Radiograph
x cuts - see (2)
easier dx - parallel vs. perpendicular view (2.2)
- oblique cuts: anatomy, supraspinatus
easier dx
- parallel view: continuity, tear
- perpendicular: cross-sectional, atrophy
SHOULDER: Radiograph
shoulder AP ER - see (4), pathology (2)
AP IR - see
SHOULDER AP ER VIEW
- see: proximal 1/3 of humerus, lat 2/3 of clavicle, acromion, upper scapula
- >5mm = effusion
- deposits in supraspinatus = calcific tendinitis
AP IR VIEW
- same but GT inside instead of lesser tuberosity
SHOULDER: Radiograph
upright - see (4), other version use what
AP - see
lateral - see
which best for scapula
UPRIGHT AP VIEW C/S WEIGHTS
- see: entire clavicle, (B) ACJ, GHJ, SCJ
- stress view: use 10-15lbs
AP VIEW
- see: entire scapula (medial only superimposed by lungs & ribs)
LATERAL VIEW
- best for scapula since no superimposition
SHOULDER: Radiograph
axillary - see (3), west point, for
scapular y - other name, see (3), for
AXILLARY VIEW OF GHJ
- see: glenoid fossa, GHJ, coracoid process
- west point view: prone
- for: glenoid x humerus relationship in dislocation
ANT OBLIQUE / SCAPULAR Y LATERAL
- acromion coracoid, scapula
- upright; for painful supine
SHOULDER: CT
indications (3.2)
protocol - from to (2)
axial scan, oblique sagittal, oblique coronal, 3D reconstruction (from + 2 purpose)
indications
- trauma, displaced fx, loose bodies
- if no MRI: labrum & cuff
basic CT protocol
- GHJ to prox humeral shaft diaphysis
- scapula to deltoid (sagittal)
- axial scan: perpendicular to humeral shaft
- oblique sagittal: parallel to glenoid fossa
- oblique coronal: parallel to supraspinatus
- 3D reconstruction: from axial + can isolate bones, for complex fx
SHOULDER: CT
anatomy - view, axial vs. sagittal see (2.1)
bone density - pathology (3=1)
cartilaginous space - see (3), smooth shit best in what view
soft tissue - see what + where
ALIGNMENT & ANATOMY
- best view: sagittal
- axial: glenoid fossa x humeral head
- sagittal: configuration of acromion
BONE DENSITY
- cyst, hypertrophy, sclerosis = radiolucent
CARTILAGINOUS SPACE
- encroachment at subacromial space, ACJ irregularities, free fx fragments
- smooth chondral surface of GHJ space: axial or sagittal
SOFT TISSUE
- check: avulsion injury in rotator cuff insertion
SHOULDER: CT
axial plane - see (3) + d/t, bankart structure
AXIAL PLANE
- GHJ
- bony irregularities at GT d/t avulsion fx
- bony resorption at GT lack of normal tension from rotator cuff d/t tear
- bankart: glenoid rim
SHOULDER: CT
coronal plane - see (5)
CORONAL PLANE
- infsup labrum
- GHJ surface, GT, glenoid rim
- acromion, subacromial joint space
SHOULDER: MRI
axial obliques - T1 vs. T2
AXIAL
- proton density
- T2 fat saturated
OBLIQUE SAGITTAL
- T1
- inversion recovery
OBLIQUE CORONAL
- proton density
- inversion recovery
SHOULDER: MRI
anatomy - best view
bone signal - if (2) = what
edema - what, where + condition
soft tissue - signal, pathology (1=1)
ANATOMY
- sagittal
BONE SIGNAL
- if white/hyper = abnormal
EDEMA
- footprint of injury
- under coracoacromial arch in impingement syndrome
SOFT TISSUE
- inflam = inc signal
- RA = synovial cyst
SHOULDER: MRI
axial plane - see (1.2) (3)
AXIAL PLANE
- biceps tendon at cross-sectional, subscapularis & teres minor at longitudinal
- antpos labrum
- GHJ, GH ligaments
SHOULDER: MRI
oblique sagittal - see (2) (3)
OBLIQUE SAGITTAL PLANE
- subscapularis & teres minor at cross-sectional
- GH ligament, acromion, coracohumeral lig & arch
SHOULDER: MRI
oblique coronal - view (2) (4)
OBLIQUE CORONAL PLANE
- subscapularis & teres minor at cross-longitudinal
