21
Q

injured in fall onto the tip of the shoulder w/ arm tucked into side

A

AC joint

22
Q

AC joint intact, capsular distension, ligament stretch (sprain)

A

Grade I AC Injury

23
Q

AC ligament is torn, coracoclavicular ligament intact. Unstable AC joint, decreased ROM

A

Grade II AC injury

24
Q

separation of superior and inferior AC ligaments & coracoclavicular ligaments. Clinical deformity, instability, pain, decreased ROM.

A

Grade III AC injury

25
Q

Acromioclavicular injury treatment (4)

A

Shoulder immobilizer for 3-4 weeks to allow ligaments to reattach
Ice, rest, NSAIDs
activity restrictions
corticosteroid injections if not improving after 2-4 weeks

26
Q

what is the usual clavicle fracture?

A

middle 1/3, displaces superiorly, & may be comminuted

27
Q

concern w/ distal clavicle fx?

A

brachial plexus involvement

28
Q

concern w/ proximal clavicle fx?

A

evaluate internal organs

29
Q

clavicle fx tx? (4)

A

conservative for nondisplaced or minimally displaced fxs in adults, nearly all peds
Sling/swatch, analgesics, muscle relaxers, sleeping upright

30
Q

clavicle fx healing?

A

most within 4-6 weeks, some 8-10 weeks

31
Q

clavicle fx ortho referral? (2)

A

displaced midclavicle fxs

all proximal and distal fxs

32
Q

inflammation, possible degeneration of bursa. Associated w/ repetitive movement or acute injury. May result from systemic disease

A

Subacromial bursitis

33
Q

inflammation, pain w/ ROM & rest, decreased ROM due to pain, localized tenderness to palpation

A

Subacromial bursitis

34
Q

subacromial bursitis treatment (3)

A

ice & NSAIDs
restriction of overuse
aspiration & corticosteroid injection

35
Q

inflammation of the long head of the biceps tendon as it passes through the bicipital groove, associated w/ repetitive lifting

A

Biceps tendonitis

36
Q

pain in the anterior shoulder w/ abduction and external rotation. Maximal point of tenderness along bicipital groove. Popping sensation, weakness

A

Biceps tendonitis

37
Q

specialized exams for biceps tendonitis? (2)

A

Yergason’s sign, Speed’s test

38
Q

Biceps tendonitis treatment? (4)

A

NSAIDs
rest
PT
Surgery for younger pts who are active

39
Q

shoulder instability, arm guarded, sulcus sign

A

glenohumeral subluxation/dislocation

40
Q

detachment of anterior inferior labrum from glenoid rim

A

Bankart lesion

41
Q

depression of the posterolateral humeral head when its impacted by anterior rim of glenoid

A

Hill Sachs lesion

42
Q

Apley scratch test? and what conditions it evaluates?

A

touch the opposite scapula to test shoulder ROM

frozen shoulder, rotator cuff

43
Q

Empty can test? and what conditions it evaluates?

A

resistance against forward flexion in hyperpronation (thumbs down), elbow extension, & abduction

rotator cuff: supraspinatus injury/tear

44
Q

lift off test? and what conditions it evaluates?

A

hand on back, shoulder internally rotated. Push against resistance

Rotator cuff: subscapularis injury

45
Q

Hawkin’s test? and what conditions it evaluates?

A

passive flexion to 90* & forceful internal rotation of the shoulder.
pain –> impingement –> rotator cuff concerns

rotator cuff, shoulder impingement syndrome

46
Q

Neer’s impingement sign? and what conditions it evaluates?

A

passive flexion w/ arm pronated & scapula stabilized. Empty can w/ assist to full ROM
pain –> subacromial impingement –> rotator cuff concerns

rotator cuff, shoulder impingement syndrome

47
Q

gradation of Neer’s test for shoulder impingement syndrome?

Pain at 90* = mild impingement
Pain at 60-70* = moderate impingement
Pain at 45* or below = severe impingement
