Q

Describe a bony bankart

A

Soft tissue damage + fracture of the anterioinferior glenoid rim

21
Q

What is the primary ligamentous restraint of the GH joint in 90/90 position?

A

IGHL

  • 3 bands
  • superior, anterior and posterior
22
Q

Describe the Internal Rotation Resistance Strength Test (IRRST)

A
  • differentiates an intra-articular pathology from impingement syndrome
  • TEST:
  • tested in 90 deg ABD/ER
    + test if good strength w/ ER and weakness with IR
    + test = bankart lesion
  • test = classic impingement
23
Q

Describe a hill sachs lesion

A
  • dent in the back of the humeral head
24
Q

What is the most common type of SLAP lesion?

A

Type II: detachment of the superior labrum & biceps from the glenoid rim

25
Q

What age are you more likely to see more chances of tears/defects in the superior regions of the labrum?

A

Ages 30-50

26
Q

What are the 2 most common MOIs of SLAP lesions?

A
  • Falling on an outstretched arm

- Traction injury in the inferior direction

27
Q

What is the clinical presentation of a SLAP lesion?

A

Pain:

  • intermittent, overhead movements
  • painful clicking and popping
  • Pitchers may develop “dead arm” syndrome
28
Q

What pathology may be tender within the rotator interval?

What is the rotator interval?

A

SLAP lesions

Rotator Interval:

  • triangular shaped anatomic space btwn the supraspinatus tendon, the subscapularis tendon, and the coracoid process
  • space contains:
    • coracohumeral & SGH ligament
    • bicep tendon
    • anterior joint capsule
29
Q

What tests are specific for SLAP lesion?

A

Speeds = most specific
Yergason’s test
Biceps load test II

30
Q

What tests are sensitive tests for a SLAP lesion?

A

Compression rotation test
OBrian’s test = MOST sensative
Anterior apprehension test

31
Q

What is recommended surgical management for an over 36 year old w/ SLAP lesion?

A
  • Over 36 years old higher chance of failure

- recommend bicep tenodesis

32
Q

What is the definition of shoulder instability?

A

Inability to maintain the humeral head in the glenoid fossa

33
Q

TUBS

A

Traumatic
Unilateral
Bankart
Surgery

98% of the cases are anterior dislocation

Rate of reoccurance higher in younger population

  • 90% chance of reoccurance if less than 20 years old
34
Q

AMBRI

A
Atraumatic
Multidirectional
Bilateral
Rehab
Inferior Capsular shift (if non-responsive to rehab)
35
Q

What are the primary dynamic stabilizers at the shoulder?

A

Primary:

  • RC muscle
  • Long head of biceps
  • Deltoid

Secondary:

  • Teres Major
  • Lat Dorsi
  • Pec Major
36
Q

Glenoid labrum increases stability by___%?

A

50%

37
Q

What scale is used to evaluate hypermobility?

A

Beighton scale

  • score of 5/9 defines hypermobility
38
Q

What tests would help to confirm a SLAP lexion?

A
  • Crank test

- Resisted supination external rotation test

39
Q

What is the clinical presentation of a rotator cuff tear?

A
  • pain at night
  • painful arc
  • supraspinatus:
    • ttp over greater tuberosity
    • pain in the anterior shoulder
