Upper Limb Injuries Flashcards
Shoulder
Anatomical joints ( 3 )
- Glenohumeral
- Acromioclavicular
- Sternoclavicular
- Impingement syndrome
- thoracic outlet syndrom
Notes:
Aber - lose lack position
Close pack
- ligament tight
- increase congruence
- dislocatable
Open pack
- ligament lax/ loose
- decrease congruence
Axillary nerve symptoms
- weak deltoids/ atrophy
Glenohumeral joint injuries
- glenoid fossa + humeral head
- easily dislocatable ; earky dislocated joint
- MOI: Aber
- MC direction injury: anterior and inferior part of the joint capsule
- MC structured affected: Axillary nerve ( c5- c6 )
- 1/3 of humeral head approximately with glenoid fossa
- Stability:
> Static ( all structure except the muscles )
- Bony congruence
- Glenoid Labrum- rim that surround the glenoid fossa
- ( + ) intraarticular pressure- suction motion to avoid early dislocation
- GH ligaments ( sup, mid and inf )
- GH joint capsule
> Dynamic
* scapular stabilizing muscles
A. long head of biceps tendon- intracaps T.
- indicate of any injury affected jt. capsule manifest may include long head of biceps tendon
- ( muscles ) traps, rhomboid, serratus anterior, levator scap, lats and pecs minor.
B. Rotator cuff muscles
- SITS ms.
Long head of biceps tendon ( 5 )
- Bankart
- Hill- Sachs
- Reverse Bankart
- Reverse Hill Sachs
- Bennetts lesion
Bankart ( ANT INF ABER )
- tearing of anterior inferior joint capsule
Hill Sachs ( ANT INF ABER )
- compression fracture of the posterior lateral humeral head
Reverse Bankart. ( Post ADIR )
- tearing of the posterior inferior joint capsule
Reverse Hill Sachs ( Posterior Adir )
- compression fracture of the anterior humeral head
Bennetts lesion
- ossification of the posterior glenoid labrum and inferior glenohumeral joints
- MC basketball players
SLAP lession
- rep. Over head ax.
- superior labrum angerior posterior lsion
- repetitive overhead activities.
Management
cocher maneuver
PNF exercise
Cocher maneuver - relocation for anterior inferior point instability - injury or affectation: Aber - relocation : Adir PNF exercise
AC joint injuries
- acromion process + clavicle
- MOI: fall on outstretch hand ( FOSH )
- MC direction of injury: superior
- Stability:
> Static ligaments: ( 3 ) - AC ligament
- thoracoclavicular ligament
- coracoacromial ligament.
Note: FOSH
SH: AC jt injury
WHICH: colles fracture, scaphoid fracture
-classification of AC joint sprain:
Rockwood Classification
classification of AC joint sprain:
Rockwood Classification
- Ac sprain+ cc intact
- ac torn + cc Sprain
- Ac and cc torn + cc space widens
- 3 + clavicular displace post.
- 3 + cc space widens > 100% + ms attributed clavicular detached
- 3 + clavicular displace inferiorly
C. Adhesive capsulitis ( 5 )
- Rotator cuff tears
- Rotator cuff tendonitis
- Bicipital tendonitis
- Bursitis
- Calcific tendonitis
frozen shoulder
- “ diabetic periarthritis”
- most important cause: immobilization
- primary cause: idiopathic
- secondary cause ( systemic ): diabetes
- MC among females
- Self- limiting up to 2 yeats
- MC LOM ER
- Stages
- CAPSULE PATTERN : INJURY OF JOINT CAPS
ER > AB > IR
I= 1-3 months ( pain & increase LOM ) - freezing II= 3-9 months ( increase pain and LOM )- freezing III= 9-15 months ( decrease pain and maintenance of LOM ) - frozen IV= 15-24 months - thawing
Self limiting - up to 2 years
Sternoclavicular joint ligament ( 4 )
Anterior sternoclavicular
Posterior sternoclavicular
Costoclavicular
Interclavicular
Impingement syndrome
- compression of structures in the subacromial space
- MC cause: repetitive or sustained elevation of shoulder > 90 degrees
- Classification:
Neers Classification of shoulder Impingement
