Shoulder Pathology Flashcards
2 kinds Labral lesions
1) SLAP
2) Bankart
Labral lesion Sx
1) dull/throbbing
2) difficulty sleeping on shoulder
3) loss of strength
4) **instability
5) popping/clicking/catching
What is the most common cause of Labral tears
*impact injury (not age)
What is a Labral lesion
Tearing of glenoid labrum
What is SLAP Labral lesion
“Superior labrum anterior posterior”
-injury to anterior/posterior attachment of bicep tendon
SLAP Labral lesion Sx
1) impingement/catching with overhead force/pushing
2) pain with movement (above head/throwing)
cause of SLAP Labral lesion
1) fall outstretched arm
2) forceful pulling arm (catching heavy object)
3) rapid/forceful movement above shoulder level
Risks for SLAP
1) overuse (weightlifting, throwing)
2) shoulder dislocation
3) MVA
On a clock where do SLAP lesion occur
10 and 2
On a clock where do Bankart lesion occur
3 and 6
What is a Bankart lesion
-anterior (inferior) glenoid labrum
2 kinds of Bankart lesions
1) soft- labrum
2) bony- anteroinferior glenoid rim bone
SX of Bankart lesion
1) pain worse with arm behind back
2) hill-Sachs lesion- posterolateral humeral head compression fracture= promotes future dislocation
Cause of Bankart lesion
Anterior shoulder dislocation
What other pathologies to differentiate for Labral lesions
1) ALPSA (anterior Labral posterior sleeve avulsion)
2) cuff fraying
3) rotator cuff tears
4) SLAP lesion
5) impingement
What is bursitis
Inflammation of the bursa
