Upper limb surgical repair Flashcards
Bone on bone contact in the shoulder can lead to (2)
osteophytes and osteoarthritis
Muscle released in shoulder replacement (tendon)
subscapularis
muscle released in reverse shoulder replacement
deltoid
Plane between deltoid and pectoralis major
anterior inter nervous plane
Deltoid nervous supply
axillary nerve
Pectoralis major nervous supply (2)
medial and lateral pectoral nerves
vein in deltopectoral groove
cephalic vein
groove between deltoid and pectoralis major
deltopectoral groove
proximal end of deltopectoral groove
coracoid process
deltopectoral groove is infero lateral to what
clavicle
what is between cephalic vein, deltoid and pectoralis major (2)
fascia over deltoid and pectoralis major
once deltopectoral groove is incised what is retracted
deltoid
once deltoid is retrancted what is incised
subscapularis tendon
what is inferior to subscapularis tendon
vessels
where is a drill hole placed when subscapularis is released
coracoid process
conjoint tendon (2)
short head of biceps brachii and coracobrachialis
what happens to conjoint tendon
released with tip of coracoid process
what is between the subscapularis and teres major
vessels
what happens to vessels inferior to subscapularis
clamped
once subscapularis is incised what happens to it (2)
reflected and sutures put in place
once subscapularis is reflected what is incised
joint capsule
joint capsule is incised to reveal (3)
head of humerus, glenoid fossa, posterior glenoid labrum
what runs medial to coracoid process
axillary sheath
what is in the axillary sheath (2)
axillary vessels and brachial plexus
when is axillary sheath pulled closer to coracoid process
abducted shoulder
nerve closest to area of shoulder replacement
musculocutaneous nerve
what nerve lies inferior to subscapularis
axillary nerve
muscles inferior to axillary nerve (superficial to deep 2)
latissimus dorsi and teres major
what moves the area of work away from axillary nerve
shoulder external rotation
rotator cuff tears which muscle contracts strongly to attempt abduction
deltoid
deltoid contraction but rotator cuff tear what happens (3)
humerus pulled superiorly towards acromion, scapula externally rotated, clavicle elevated
what angle allowed in abduction with rotator cuff tear
45 degrees
what happens to abduction at 90 degrees with partial rotator cuff tear
unable to hold resistance
what can communicate in rotator cuff tear
shoulder joint and subdeltoid bursa
what can occur in rotator cuff tear (3)
thickened edematous biceps brachii tendon, retracted tendon, needs to be repaired with surgery
bicep brachii tendon repair if edges fresh (3)
notch made in humerus, attach with drill holes, strong sutures
Open acromioplasty removes (2)
tip of acromion and most of coracoacromial ligament
where is incision made to inspect rotator cuff for tears in acromioplasty
T incision in deltoid
what portion of acromion removed in acromioplasty
anterolateral inferior
what tool used in acromioplasty
osteotome
deltoid reattachment acromioplasty suture origin
acromioclavicular joint capsule
deltoid reattachment acromioplasty suture insertion (2)
fibrous stump of coracoacromial ligament or wires and small drill holes in acromion
Arthroscopic acromioplasty setup (6)
lateral decubitus position, hips stabilised, padding between knees and ankles, arm extended and abducted, skin traction, screen visualisation
what is inserted from arthroscopic acromioplasty (3)
arthroscope, cannula, suction drain
where is burr placed
with cannula
where is arthroscope placed
below posterior angle of acromion
where is the burr and suction drain placed
through cannulas in anterior incision
tool used in arthroscopic acromioplasty
power burr
how is acromion portion removed arthroscopically
cannula, releasing coracoacromial ligament
What is done to observe bursa
burscopy
what can burscopy reveal
bursitis
inflamed bursa
bursitis
subacromial impingement diagnostic features (5)
pain at night, pain with activity, MRI, positive impingement test, weakness
no subacromial impingement arthroscopic view (medial to lateral 3)
rotator cuff, biceps tendon, top of humerus
what can bone spurs cause (3)
bursitis, tendonitis, rotator cuff tears
what happens when bone spur is removed
pressure on rotator cuff released
