Bucket-handle tear of superior labrum, Biceps anchor intact
27
Describe a Type III SLAP surgery
Torn fragment is resected
28
Describe a Type III SLAP rehab
Same as Type 1
29
Describe a Type IV SLAP injury:
Similar to Type 3- Tear extends to biceps tendon & Torn biceps tendon and labrum displaced into joint
30
Describe a Type IV SLAP surgery
30% tendon torn Older patient: labrum debrided, tendon tenodesis Young patient: arthroscopic suture repair
31
Describe a Type IV SLAP rehab
More conservative - Sling x 3 weeks
32
AC seperation MOI
Trauma to superior shoulder
33
AC seperation physical exam
Step deformity at AC (possible) (+) AC shear test Tenderness to AC joint Pain with shoulder elevation and/or abduction (+) xray findings
34
AC seperation differential Dx
Chronic conditions can increase stress to RC Concomitant clavicle fracture RC tear
35
AC seperation Tx
varies on grade, typically grade I, II, and usually III do not require surgery - grades higher than III do require surgery
36
Acute Bursitis/Calcific Tendonitis Hx and demographic
Idiopathic; can result from Tendonosis or viral infection Women \> men Middle age \> older \> younger
37
Acute Bursitis/Calcific Tendonitis presentation
Capsular pattern: ER \> ABD \> IR Joint play restrictions in all directions, especially inferiorly: Histological changes in area of redundant fold Chronic cases can lead to secondary impingement
38
Acute Bursitis/Calcific Tendonitis differential Dx
Impingement Subscapularis spasm/tightness
39
Acute Bursitis/Calcific Tendonitis Tx
Regain motion at GH joint Regain ST rhythm Strengthen Typically self-limiting within 6-12 months Aquatic therapy should be considered
40
Bicipital Tendonitis Hx
Overuse/overtraining Overhead sports with racquet/throwing Pain at anterior shoulder
41
Bicipital Tendonitis presentation
Tenderness along Long Head of Biceps tendon (proximal portion) (+) Speeds test Pain with resisted shoulder flexion (typical); elbow flexion (occasional) (+) Horizontal Adduction with overpressure for symptom reproduction
42
Bicipital Tendonitis differential Dx
Supraspinatus tendonitis Subscapularis tendonitis Impingement
43
Bicipital Tendonitis Tx
Anti-inflammatory & rest Overhead activity modification Posterior capsule stretching Eccentric-specific strength training RC & ST strengthening
44
Neer Stages of Impingement Stage 1
Age: \< 25 Pathology: Edema Clinical Presentation: Subacromial pain/tenderness, Painful arc; (+) Neer test, RROM Abd/ER strong + pain
45
Neer Stages of Impingement Stage 2
Age: 25-40 Pathology: Fibrosis, tendonitis/bursitis Clinical presentation: Subacromial pain/tenderness, Painful arc; (+) Neer test RROM Abd/ER strong + pain, Capsular pattern
46
Neer Stages of Impingement Stage 3
Age: \>40 Pathology: bone spurs, tendon disruption Clinical presentation: Subacromial pain/tenderness, Painful arc; (+) Neer test RROM Abd/ER weak + pain, Capsular pattern, “Squaring” of acromion (atrophy of deltoid and RC)
47
Neer Stages of Impingement Stage 4
similar to stage 3
48
Describe Primary Impingement
Abnormal mechanical relationship between rotator cuff and coracoacromial arch - Typically a “narrowing” of that arch
49
Primary Impingement Hx
Typically \> 40 years old c/o anterior shoulder and upper lateral arm pain unable to sleep on affected side
50
Primary Impingement physical exam
Decreased ROM and strength (secondary to pain) (+) Hawkins-Kennedy & Neer Impingement signs Typically concomitant AC arthrosis exacerbated by: 1. internal rotation 2. abduction \>90°
51
Primary Impingement differential Dx
RC tears Calcific tendonitis AC joint arthrosis Glenohumeral instability SLAP lesions Bicepital tendonitis Early adhesive capsulitis Tumors
52
Primary Impingement Tx
Surgical subacromial decompression (acromioplasty)
53
Describe Secondary Impingement
Narrowing of the subacromial space due to glenohumeral or scapulothoracic instability. Attempts by RC to compensate for lack of ligamentous/capsular stabilization results in fatigue of RC and superior migration of humeral head
54
Secondary Impingement Hx
Younger populations Typically participate in overhead sports: combinations of school and community league sports does not allow for “off-season” in pre/adolescent populations reports of “arm going dead”
55
Secondary Impingement physical exam
Glenohumeral instability with (+) apprehension test +) Full can, Empty can tests Scapular dyskinesia, winging, or abnormal motion Tight posterior Glenohumeral capsule
56
Secondary Impingement Tx
Addressing underlying impairment should resolve the problem
57
Posterior (Internal) Impingement: population and Hx
Typically in overhead athletes (tennis players, swimmers, throwers) During ABD+ER (cocking phase) the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles get ‘pinched’ at superior/posterior glenoid Occurs on undersurface (instead of bursa side) of RC Typically associated with anterior instability
58
Describe Neer
Maximal passive flexion of arm (overhead) compresses greater tuberosity against anteroinferior acromion
59
Describe Hawkins-Kennedy
Flexion to 90°, max passive IR, compresses supraspinatus against anterior coracoacromial ligament
60
Describe Cross-over
Stabilize superoposterior shoulder and maximally horizontal adduct patient’s arm across their body
61
Describe Painful arc

62

Dorsum of hand placed against back pocket, Patient lifts hand away from back, Inability to perform is (+)
63
Describe Drop sign
Passively place arm in 90° elbow flexion and abduction & max ER. Release arm. Inability for patient to maintain position (+)
64
Describe IR Lag
Same position as lift off, only examiner lifts arm away and asks patient to maintain position. (+) inability to maintain
65
Describe ER Lag
Passively place arm in 20° scapular elevation and 90° elbow flexion. Maximally ER. (+) inability to maintain position
