week 5 Flashcards
What is the sternoclavicular joint needed for and what ligament support it?
- Needed for good shoulder ROM
- interclavicular ligament
- anterior and posterior sternoclavicular ligament
- costoclavicular ligament
How to sprains and strains happen at the SC joint? How does it happen?
Force transmitted through the clavicle.
FOOSH- fall on outstretched hand.
When the clavicle is driven posteriorly.
What are ss of a SC sprain?
No pain with isometric shoulder motion- cannot change joint angle.
Why are posterior SC joint dislocations medical emergencies?
Subclavian artery, vein, and trachea can be compressed.
How does the AC joint get injured? What tests?
FOOSH
Fall on lateral side of the deltoid.
When clavicle is driven away from the acromion.
Piano key test, ROM tests.
What is a common symptom when there is AC joint seperation?
Trape spasm.
Clavicular Fracture
-fall on tip of clavicle- longitudinal force.
- anterior blow- compressive force.
FOOSH
swelling, spasm, inability to raise arm.
Percussion Test
What deformity is seen with a clavicular fracture.
Tent- bone sticking out looks like tent.
What are some factors that make the GH joint more susceptible to injury?
1- lots of mobility
2- size of glenoid is smaller than the humeral head.
3- labrum decreases articulation by 15%.
Why are you more likely to dislocate something after the first time?
All the supporting structures have been stretched.
When are you most likely to see a shoulder dislocation?
External rotation and abduction - arm being pulled back from behind the head.
What atype of GH dislocations are more common in sport?
Anterior and Inferior- not enough force not posterior dislocation.
What is a Hill-Sachs lesion? How does it occur?
There is a devit on the bone and occurs when the humerus catching or hitting the glenoid.
What is a Bankart lesion? What is a positive test that can represent an injury to the labrum?
Detachment of the lacrum.
A positive biceps test.
What are signs and symptoms of labral pathology?
Pain is deep within shoulder but can point to the area it is hurting.
Feeling of instability.
Shoulder feels stiff.
What are the roles of the rotator cuff muscles (SITS)?
Supraspinatus - abductor
Infraspinatus, teres minor, - external rotators.
Subscapularis - internal rotator.
