Shoulder Disorders Flashcards
OCD of the shoulder
Local mineralization defect of the articular epiphyseal complex of the proximal humerus
What is the most common spot for OCD of shoulder
Humeral head
OCD of shoulder is more common in
Male
Clinical signs for OCD begin
4 - 8 months of age
Causes of OCD shoulder
Genetics, rapid growth, nutritional imbalances, trauma
OCD findings include atrophy of
Supraspinatus and infraspinatus
Osteochondrosis
Disturbance of cartilage formation
Osteochondritis
Detachment of cartilage flap
Osteochondrosis is a defect in
Endochondral ossification
What is different about the cartilage at an osteochondrosis joint
The cartilage is thicker
Pathophysiology of osteochondritis dissecans
Stress creates fissure of cartilage surface, separation of retained cartilage from underlying bone, synovial fluid creates inflammation, dissection of loose cartilage flap
Surgery TX of OCD
Arthrotomy or Arthroscopy
Medical management of OCD
Change diet, NSAIDs
PE findings of medial Glenn Humeral instability include
Exccesive abduction of the shoulder joint while the shoulder is fully extended
What breeds get OCD in shoulder
Large breed dogs
Will the dog feel pain with extension or flexion with OCD of shoulder
Extension
Is OC or OCD when there is a flap
OCD
OCD causes
Lameness, joint swelling, pain, and inflammation
Exercise restriction after surgery
4 - 6 weeks
Medial shoulder structures
Medial Glenohumeral ligament, subscapularis muscle and tendon
How do you find medial glenohumeral instabilitu
Excessive abduction of the shoulder joint while the shoulder is fully extended
With medial glenohumeral instability what does arthroscopy how
Torn medial glenohumeral ligament or tear of the subscapularis tendon
Non surgical management of medial shoulder instability
Hobbles, no running/ jumping/ playing, shock wave therapy, Stem cells, rehabilitative exercised
Surgery for MGH instability
Shoulder tightrope
Post medial shoulder instability they ca begin to return to functional activities by
12 - 16 weeks
Biceps Tenosynovitis is seen in
Large breed adults
Bicep tenosynovitis, there is pain with
Flexion of shoulder and extension of the elbow
Pathophysiology of biceps tenosynivits
Trauma to tendon, inflammation of the sheath, sequels to OCD of the shoulder
Early treatment of biceps tenosynovitis
Activity restriction, deep friction massage, ice, and stretching of bicep tendon
Surgical treatment of bicep tenosynovitis
Tenotomy
Describe the traditional technique to biceps tenosynovitis
Open approach with tenotomy and relocation of tendon end to greater tubercle
After tenotomy of Biceps restricted to
Leash walks 6 weeks
Osteochondrosis v osteochondritis dissecans
OC: disturbance of cartilage formation, defect in endochondral ossification
OCD
Detachment of cartilage flap
How do you diagnose medial glenohumeral instability
Findings excessive abduction of the shoulder joint while the shoulder is fully extended
Medial glenohumeral instability
Forelimb lameness
Surgical treatment of MGH instability
Shoulder tightrope
