Lecture 4 - dislocation Flashcards
(41 cards)
define dislocation
discontunity between the bone and the articular surface
give the classification of dislocations
can be complete
can be partial
explain the mechanism behind dislocations
can be dircte on the joint
can be indirect
what is recurrent dislocation?
increasingly easier and more frequent reproduction of the dislocation
where are recurrent dislocations most common ?
shoulder
temoromandibular
patellofemural
what are the three aims of dislocation treatment
reduction
maintaining reduction
restoring function
which group of people are more likely to experience acromioclavicular dislocation ?
young people falling on their shoulder
explain the mechanism of acromioclavicular joint dislocation
extreme contraction of the trapezius and SCM
classification of acromioclavicular dislocation
Complete - affecting both the acromioclavicular joint capsule and the coracoclavicular ligaments
Incomplete - affecting the acromioclavicular joint capsule with intact coracoclavicular ligaments
clinical sign of ACJ dislocation
pain
stepladder sign, piano sign
loss of function
treatment of complete dislocation of ACJ
reduction and immobilization with dessault for 6 weeks
or
rober jones and watson jones figure of 8 for 2-3 weeks
treatment of old dislocation of ACJ
repaired with Dewar-Barrington technique, and also Weaver-Dunn technique (in type III) - uses the coracoacromial ligament (CA ligament) as a substitute to reconstruct the torn coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments.
mechanism of indirct dislocation of the shoulder
Fall on the hand or elbow with arm in abduction and with external rotation
rockwood classification
of the AC and CC ligaments
types of anterior dislocation of the shoulder
○ extracoracoid,
○ subcoracoid (the most common),
○ intracoracoid,
subclavicular.
classification of the shoulder dislocation
Depending on the location of the humeral head in relation to the glenoid cavity
Anterior - the most common, accounting for 95% of all.
Posterior
Inferior
Superior - although very rare
clinical signs of anterior dislocation of the shoulder
humble position
internal rotation is possible
Berger sign
shoulder in epaulet
what are the two types of posterior dislocation of the shoulder
Subacromial
Subspinous
clinical sign of posterior dislocation of the shoulder
Location deformation is reduced
The arm is in internal rotation, and external rotation is impossible,
the humeral head can be palpated inferiorly by the postero-lateral angle of the acromion
clinical picture inferior dislocation of the shoulder
In inferior dislocation, the humeral head is located subglenoid,
the humerus is in abduction
Rare 1 %
produced as a result of trauma with the arm in exaggerated abduction.
diangosis of shoulder dislocation
Based on image and clinical evaluation
Neurological and vascular examinations are important to check for damage on vessels and nerves
what are the main complication of shoulder dislocation
fractures (fracture of the greater tubercle, fracture-dislocation and parcelal fracture of the glenoid),
treatment of shoulder dislocation
- Hippocratic technique
- Kocker technique
- Dessault bandage
- Surgical procedures
○Bankart procedure for recurrent dislocations
○ Bristaw latarjet
Transposition of the coracoid tip
mechanism of elbow dislocation
Falling on the hand with forearm in extension and supination position
Through hyperextension, the anterior capsule and the medial and lateral collateral ligaments may tear and the coronoid may slide into the olecranon fossa,
with loss of the normal relationships of the radius and ulna to the humeral blade, through posterior or postero-external displacement.
