Q

what is the use of the glenoid labrum margining the glenoid fossa ?

A

The fibrocartiliginous labrum deepens this cavity (the glenoid cavity) and effectively increases the stability of the humeral head

Q

and injury to the axillary nerve will result in ?

A

numbness in the shoulder area

deltoid having no muscle tone - loss of shoulder abduction / shoulder flexion /extension
but for axillary nerve injury look for skin sensation patient can still adduct and lift the arm due to supraspinatus muscle

Q

Associated injuries with traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation ?

A

labral & cartilage injuries

Bankart lesion
is an avulsion or tear in the anterior inferior labrum and anterior band of the IGHL

Humeral avulsion of the inferior glenohumeral ligament (HAGL)
associated with a higher recurrence rate if not recognized and repaired
an indication for possible open surgical repair
It can be associated with a bony avulsion fracture in which case it is referred to as bony humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament (BHAGL lesion).

Glenoid labral articular defect (GLAD)
sheared off portion of articular cartilage along with the labrum

Anterior labral periosteal sleeve avulsion (ALPSA)
torn anteroinferior labrum heal medially along the anteromedial glenoid neck
associated with higher failure rates following arthroscopic repair

=========

fractures & bone defects

Bony Bankart lesion
is a fracture of the anterior inferior glenoid
present in up to 49% of patients with recurrent dislocations
higher risk of failure of arthroscopic treatment if not addressed
defect >20-25% is considered “critical bone loss” and is biomechanically highly unstable
stability cannot be restored with soft tissue stabilization alone
require bony procedure to restore bone loss (Latarjet-Bristow, other sources of autograft or allograft)

Hill Sachs defect
posterosuperior humeral head depression fracture (a chondral impaction) secondary to impaction with the anterior glenoid rim.
is not clinically significant

Greater tuberosity fracture
is associated with anterior dislocation in patients > 50 years of age

nerve injuries
Axillary nerve injury
is most often a transient neurapraxia of the axillary nerve

rotator cuff tears
usually > 60 years of age

Q

what are the signs and symptoms of anterior shoulder dislocation?

A
apprehension test (or fear of subluxation)
patient supine with arm in 90/90 position 
increase in apprehension when more and more external rotation and inferior traction just medially to the elbow joint 
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZ29dAXKA5M)

decrease in apprehension with inferior force applied on anterioir part of the humeral head with he arm in 90/90

Q

treatment of anterior shoulder dislocation ?

A

dislocation is ruled out or reduced if the person can touch the opposite shoulder

always check for neurovascular injuries -Ensure adequate pulses, finger mobility (brachial plexus), and sensation at the tip of the shoulder (circumflex)

ALWAYS injecting lidocaine to the shoulder joint or sedation

======

1) traction counter traction
placing the patient supinely
wrap a sheet around the axilla of dislocated shoulder and over the chest wrap the sheet around the waist of an assistant
and flex the elbow to 90 degrees, wrap another sheet around it and tie to waist and hold the patient wrist with your arms fully
extended hand
gentle external rotation can be provided to reduce the subluxation quicker

2) stimson technique
3) shoulder manipulation
4) modified milch technique

======
!!!!
x ray recommended for verification after reduction

Immobilisation: 3 weeks in a sling in order to prevent recurrence.

Q

what is the modified milch technique

A

put the left hand over the trapezium and fixing the scapula with the thumb

the right hand will grab the wrist and putting it in external rotation so the palms are facing forward

and slowly and gently abducting the hand from close to the body to 100 degrees

if relocation has not occurred hold this position call for assistance and to push the bony prominence of the
humeral head anteriorly through the armpit anteriorly rolling it past the glenoid rim

Q

what is the shoulder manipulation

A

patient is asked to rest their unffaceted shoulder against starcher or a wall

the clinician stands behind the patient and feels the inferior border of scapula

and directs a force medially

another assistance stands infront of the patient and provides a downward traction on the humerus with the arm held in a light angle forward

31
describe the load and shift test ?
used in both anterior and posterior shoulder dislocation patients sits upright , one hand over the shoulder to stablise the scapula grab the humeral head with the other hand load - trying to position the humeral head centrally as possible in glenoid fossa shift position - testing the anterior capsule when translating the humeral head forward vice versa positive if head translates more to one side and if symptoms can be recreated 25 percent translation anteriorly normal and 50 percent posteriorly 1 - translation but not to rim 2 - to glenolabral rim 3 - over glenoid rim 4 - complete dislocation
32
what is the jerk test
diagnose posteroinferior labral tear pain when performing the test after conservative treatment is a sign of failure patient in sitting position , standing behind stablasie the scapula with one hand bring the arm to 90 degrees abduction and internal rotation apply axial force along axis of humerus and move the arm so the hand come to one shoulder SUDDEN CLUNK positive test for posterior subluxation or pain 97% sensitive for posterior labral tear when combined with a Kim test
33
describe the kim test ?
for Posteroinferior Labrum Lesions patient sitting with support on back abduct the arm to 90 degrees , forearm pronated , and elbow 90 degree flexion support underneath the arm apply axial force along the humerus with your body using the other arm wrap it over the bicep and create a inferior posterior force on the bicep while moving the arm upward and diagonally across with the other arm and body
34

how is there an inferior dislocation ?
high-energy injury occurs with force on the hyperabducted arm
44
inferior dislocation is also called ?
luxatio erecta - the humeral head is trapped underneath the glenoid and coracoid the position of the arm is over the head (abducted shoulder 140 degrees ) with shoulder in full abduction an the elbow is usually flexed for it to lie transversely over the head
45
what are the signs and symptoms of inferior shoulder dislocation
