Q

Does GH instability lead to RC tendonitis?

A

It can. Leads to increased GH translation then RC tension overload then Rotator Cuff tendonitis

Q

Rotator Cuff Watershed area

A

Compression on superior RC tendons at GH head leads to reduced blodflow. Adduction causes this.

Q

Can decreased RC contractility lead to external impingement?

A

Yes.
Leads to reduced GH compression; leads to increased superior translation; leads to compression; leads to impingement syndrome

Q

Abnormal ST mechanics

A

May place anterior acromion & CA ligament into an impinging position
Abnormal retroflexion also can create impingement

Q

Passive capsuloligamentous insufficiency

A

Tight capsuloligamentous structure will contribute a hyper constraint mechanism
Excessive HH translation results
Direction of HH translation opposite of tight structure

Q

Capsuloligamentous laxity

A

Anterior band of IGHL should restrain ER from 90 scaption
Laxity results in insufficient contraint
Results in excessive anterior HH translation

23
Q

Calcific Tendonitis

A

Calcium deposit into substance of a tendon
May contribute to impingement
Often self limiting

24

A

Bicipital groove or Glenoid origin of tendon

25
Q

Bicipital tendonitis intraarticular etiology

A

Repetitive overhead use
Eccentric overload
Typical with athletes attempting to decelerate elbow extension and radioulnar pronation during follow through

26
Q

Bicipital tendonitis extraarticular etiology

A

Impingement
Bicipital groove tendon subluxation
Spur
Tenosynovial sheath consideration

27
Q

A

Not typically primary
Acompany rotator cuff disorder or systemic disorder
May become fibrotic or develop adhesions

28
Q
