Shoulder Complex- Dislocation thru Humeral Apophysitis Flashcards
What is the most dislocated joint?
GH joint
What is the cause of an anterior dislocation ?
ER and ABd with FOOSH
(closed packed positions with bony contact, taut ligaments & capsule)
What type of shoulder dislocation is most common?
anterior
What direction does the humeral head go in with an anterior dislocation?
Anterior - inferior
What is the cause of a posterior dislocation?
90˚ flexion with FOOSH
How common are posterior dislocations?
only 2-4% of dislocations
What causes recurrent dislocatons?
Pathological instability
- can cause dislocations with low force things
- most often in young people
What are the three types of shoulder dislocations?
Anterior
Posterior
Recurrent
What structures are most involved with dislocations of the shoulder?
Stretch/tear capsule/ligaments
What can also possibly be damaged with dislocation?
Anterior labrum tear (aka Bankart lesion)
SLAP
What type of impingement likely results from a dislocation?
Hypermobility
What makes fibrocartilage different than articular cartilage?
thicker and concave vs articular cartilage
What are some characteristics of fibrocartilage?
Outer potion is thick
inner portion is thin
Widens and deepens joint surface
Where can we find fibrocartilage?
- Shoulder and hip labrum
- SC, Tibiofemoral, AC, ulnotriquestral, intervertebral, and pubic symphysis joints
What makes up fibrocartilage?
- fibro- and chondryocytes
- collagen
What is outer fibrocartilage made out of? What does it do?
Type I collagen
- resists tension for stabilization
What is the majority type of all fibrocartilage?
Type I collagen to resist tension - including glenoid labrum
What is inner fibrocartilage made up of? What does it do?
Secondarily and less type II, III, and IV collagen - resists compression for shock absorption
What is the function of outer fibrocartilage?
Neural attributes for proprioception/ kinesthesia like ligament/annulus for STABILIZATION
What kind of tissue is outer fibrocartilage?
Vascular and neural
What type of tissue is inner fibrocartilage?
Hypo- or avascular/aneural/alymphatic
What causes fibrocartilage to form?
- acute tears with RTC tears/dislocations
- Gradual tears from repetitive and/or extreme motion and compressive stresses often with sports and impingement
Where is fibrocartilage better at healing? WHY?
The periphery due to greater vascularity
When does tensile strength of fibrocartilage initially improve?
~3-5 weeks
When does even greater tensile strength improve?
When dense fibrous tissue fills in at ~8-12 weeks
What should we do if no improvement by 8-12 weeks
Back to doc
What is the MET focus with fibrocartilage?
Tissue integrity/proliferation with vascularity issues
Stabilization due to stabilizing role of fibrocartilage
What are other possible complications with a disclocation?
- Fractures aka Hill Sachs Lesion - compression fracture of humeral head
- RC tear(s)
- Neurovascular structures in extreme cases
What are symptoms of shoulder dislocations?
like impingement plus…
- trauma in characteristic position
- acute presentation
What are signs we will find of a shoulder dislocation?
- ROM - limited and painful most directions
- Resisted/MMT - weak and painful most directions
- Stress tests - likely positive depending on structure involved
What are some possible special tests for labrum?
Anterior instability
Anterior labrum
Postero-inf labrum
What are anterior instability special tests?
+ apprehension
+ relocation
Apprehension ( may also be positive with general hypermobility)
What are the LR of anterior instability anterior dislocation special tests?
LR + = 39.68 if both +
LR - = 0.19 if both -
What is a test for the anterior labrum?
Speeds
