Shoulder McGee Flashcards
AMBRI
Atraumatic Multidirectional Bilateral Rehabilitation (as appropriate) and rarely Inferior capsular shift surgery - Not typically recommended for surgery & May be a primary instability factor for Secondary Impingement
TUBS
Traumatic Unilateral anterior with a Bankart lesion responding to Surgery
Empty can vs full can which is better for testing supraspinatus?
Full Can position tests supraspinatus strength better than Empty Can - Empty can position: strength tends to be limited by pain
Rotator Cuff avascular zone
Glenohumeral 0°: poor vascularity to RC tendons & 30-45° Abduction: vascularity to RC tendons optimized
Primary Anterior Stabilizers of Glenohumeral Joint
GH 0°: Subscapularis, GH 45°: Subscapularis & Middle Glenohumeral Ligament, GH >90°: Inferior Glenohumeral Ligament & Biceps Brachii
Primary mechanism of anterior Glenohumeral dislocation
Trauma; indirect blow with shoulder in abduction, extension, & ER
Primary mechanism of posterior Glenohumeral dislocation
Axial loading of arm with shoulder in adduction, flexion, & IR, trauma to front of the shoulder, FOOSH
Traumatic dislocations can be associated with what nerve injuries
Axillary
Humeral shaft fractures can be associated with what nerve injuries
radial
What RTC repair has a slower progression due to weaker fixation of repair
Arthroscopic
What RTC repair has a vertical split between anterior and middle deltoid, but allows early initiation of deltoid AROM
Mini-Open
What RTC repair has a Deltoid detachment/release from clavicle or acromion, and has no deltoid AROM for 6-8 weeks
Open
RTC describe small, medium, and large tears:
5cm (large)
Describe basic guidelines for miniopen repair for RTC for sling, ROM, and istonic exercise for a small tear
Sling 7-10 days; Full ROM 4-6 weeks, 2-3 wks for isotonic ex
Describe basic guidelines for miniopen repair for RTC for sling, ROM, and istonic exercise for a medium tear
Sling 2-3 weeks; Full ROM 8-10 weeks, 3-4 weeks for isotonic ex
Describe basic guidelines for miniopen repair for RTC for sling, ROM, and istonic exercise for a larger tear
Sling 2-3 weeks; Full ROM 10-14 weeks, 3-4 weeks for isotonic ex
Which has a lower reoccurrance rate for instability surgery open or arthoscopic?
Open: standard procedure (recurrence rate <5%) vs Arthroscopic: slower rehab (recurrence rate 8-17%)
What type of surgery is used for instability?
Bankart and capsular shift (which spends more time in a immobilizer)
What directions can shoulder instability exist?
Ant, post, and multidirectional
Describe a Type I SLAP injury:
Degenerative fraying of superior labrum, Biceps attachment intact, Biceps anchor intact
Describe a Type I SLAP surgery
Superior labrum is debrided
Describe a Type I SLAP rehab
Pendulum after 1 week NO ER > neutral/extension of arm behind body x 4 weeks No stressful biceps activity x 3 months
Describe a Type II SLAP injury:
Biceps anchor pulled away from glenoid
Describe a Type II SLAP surgery
Lesion repaired with tacks, staples, or suture anchors
Describe a Type II SLAP rehab
More conservative than type I - Sling x 3 weeks
Describe a Type III SLAP injury:
Bucket-handle tear of superior labrum, Biceps anchor intact
