surgical treatment for impingement and RC Flashcards
Full thickness, tears measurements
Small <1cm
Medium 1-3cm
Large 3-5cm
Massive >5 cm
partial thickness tears
Articular
bursa side
Intrasubstance
(acromial sided partial tear is easier to repair than a humeral sided tear because it is easier to visualize and access)
Subacromial decompression without repair
bursectomy
Acromioplasty
distal clavicle resection
bursectomy
Removal of the bursa, plica, and other soft tissues in the subacromial space to allow more space for the super spinatus and other muscles and tendon tissues
Acromioplasty
Resection of the underside of the hooked acromion to make more space in the supraspinatus outlet
Distal clavicle resection
removal of the distal 4-5 mm of the clavicle intended to reduce compression below the AC joint
Subacromial, decompression, and evidence?
no evidence that supports the use of subacromial decompression
No benefit or placebo or no treatment for pain function or for patients with rotator cuff or subacromial pain
biceps tenodesis
Tendon is detached from glenoid and anchored near the top of the bicipital groove
