Shoulder Flashcards
what is the normal ratio of motion of the GH joint to scapulothoracic motion?
2:1 (120 to 60 degrees)
a positive lift off test indicates damage to what rotator cuff tendon?
subscapularis
a positive Hornblower’s test indicates pathology in which tendon?
teres minor
a positive Kim test is indicative of what type of lesion?
posteroinferior labral lesion
the biceps load test is performed with the patinet in what resting position?
supine
a patient is positioned supine, shoulder in 120 degrees of abduction, fully supinated with the elbow flexed to 90 degrees. Resisted elbow flexion reproduces pain. what is the most likely lesion?
SLAP tear
a patient’s hands are placed on the hips with the thumbs pointing posteriorly, axial load is applied to the elbow toward the GH joint against patient resistance. this produces pain. what is the most likely lesion and what is the name of the test?
anterior slide test, SLAP tear
the patient is supine, the examiner applies anterior force to the posterior humeral head while rotating the humerus with the other hand. pain, grinding occur. what is the test and what is the most likely lesion?
clunk test - labral tear / injury
the patient’s arm is flexed to 90 degrees at the elbow, abducted to 120 degrees and externally rotated. then the arm is lowered from 120 degrees to 60 degrees abduction, keeping the arm externally rotated. a positive painful click indicates damage to what structure? what is the name of the test?
modified dynamic labral shear - superior labral pathology
superior labrum tear without inolvement of the biceps long head is classified as what type of slap tear?
type III
what is the typical time to return to play after SLAP tear?
4-7 months
what is internal impingement of the shoulder?
articular side rotator cuff tear and SLAP tear combined
what type of shoulder impingement is worsened by activities that place the shoulder in an abducted/ER position?
internal impingement
what type of shoulder impingement is worsened by lying on the affected side?
subacromial
what type of shoulder impingement is exacerbated by activities that involve forward flexion and internal rotation?
subcoracoid impingement
what is a type III AC joint separation?
complete rupture of AC and CC ligament with 100% superior displacement of the clavicle
what is a type II AC joint separation?
complete AC ligament tear and partial CC tear with less than 100% displacement of the clavicle
what is a type III AC separation?
complete AC and CC ligament tear with 100% superior displacement of the clavicle
what is a type IV AC separation?
complete AC and CC ligament tear with the distal clavicle displaced posteriorly through the trapezial fascia
in what type of AC joint separation is the distal clavicle displaced by 100-300% superiorly?
type V
how are types I and II AC joint separation treated?
non operatively with brief immobilization in sling, ice, analgesics and physical therapy
if treated non operatively, what is the typical time for return to play for an AC joint injury?
1-6 weeks
how are types IV, V and VI AC joint separations treated?
surgically
a Zanca view XR shows osteopenia and expansion of the distal clavicle and joint space widening and cysts of the AC joint. what is the condition?
distal clavicular osteolysis
what is the initial treatment for distal clavicular osteolysis?
non operative including activity modification, weightlifting modification, nsaids, therapy, injections
what is the typical return to play time for an anterior SC joint dislocation?
6-8 weeks
80% of clavicle fractures occur in which portion?
middle third
how long should contact athletes be restricted from sports following a clavicle fracture?
2-3 months
what is the way to think about treatment of a clavicle fracture (between operative and non operative)?
there is no consensus on which is best, can treat with sling vs. surgery with higher complication rate with surgery, decision is individualized
when can non contact athletes return to play after clavicle fracture?
radiographic healing is present, AROM with near normal strength has returned
how does treatment start for proximal humerus epiphysitis?
3 months avoiding throwing
