A

IR

34
Q

what are the three initial goals of rehabbing SAI?

between 3-5 cm

44
Q

what is considered a massive RTC tear?

A

greater than 5 cm

A

no

46
Q

which of the following instabilities is most common: anterior, posterior, multidirectional?

A

anterior

47
Q

when do you expect to see full ROM in anterior capsulolabral repair, bankhart repair, and inferior capsular shift?

A

10-12 weeks

48
Q

what is obligate motion in the shoulder and why is it important to be aware of after instability surgery?

A

it is the unwanted movement of the shoulder anteriorly due to posterior capsular tightness, can put pressure on repair site

49
Q

what is considered the gold standard for anterior instability?

A

the open Bankart

Q

what is the Latarjet procedure and what is it used for?

A

it is a transfer of the coracoid bone to block anterior motion of the shoulder, used for anterior instability

Q

what motions must be protected after a Latatjet procedure?

A

external rotation due to involvement of the subscapularis

Q

when should you start sport activity training after Latarjet?

A

Q

what has been correlated with great shoulder dysfunction in athletes?

A

balance and stability deficits.

55
Q

what should be the focus on SLAP tear conservative management?
