Q

what joint is affected during a shoulder subluxation

A

GH (glenohumeral) joint
- doesn’t actually separate, the gap gets bigger and you sprain all your ligaments

Q

explain the 2 most common ways to posteriorly dislocate shoulder

A
  • seizures
  • electric shock
    both caused by violent muscle contractions following seizure or electrocution

Q

epidemiology of shoulder injuries in rugby players

A
  • AC joint is the most commonly affected
  • MOI: player to player and player to ground contact
  • on average they miss 37 days of play

Q

steps of a shoulder exam

A
  1. History
    - pervious injury, MOI
  2. Observation
    - deformity, swelling, discolouration
  3. ROM
    - active, passive, resisted
  4. Manual muscle testing
  5. Palpation
    - point tenderness of ligaments may be a good indicator of which strcutures are injured
  6. Special tests
  7. functional Ax

Q

bone contusion

A

bone bruise, less severe than a bone fracture
MOI: contact to area
Observations:
- pain locally
- swelling
- pain with ROM, minimal to no decresae
- if repeated, may have increase bone formation present

Q

muscle contusion

A

MOI: contact to area
Observtions
- pain locally
- hematoma
- swelling
- pain with ROM with decrease in ROM
- myositis ossificans

Q

muscular injury

A

MOI: tissue contracting or stretching pas capacity
Observation
- swelling
- redness/bruising
- pain with active and resisted testing
common muscular injuries are rotator cuff, pectoralis, biceps

Q

shoulder muscles commonly affected by teninopathy

A
  • rotator cuff muscles
  • both bicep tendons
17
Q

types of ligamentous injuries

A

sprains and labral tears

18
Q

Sprains

A

MOI: ligament/joint capsule is forced beyond normal ROM
Observation: point tenderness, decreased ROM and strength, pain with active and passive ROM

19
Q

SLAP tear

A

SLAP tear (Superior labrum anterior and posterior)
- top part of labrum is injured, this top area is also where the bicep tendon attaches to the labrum (isn’t always involved with a SLAP tear but can be)
MOI: FOOSH, repetitive overhead actions (throwing), and/or lifting heavy objects
Observation: catching sensations and deep pain

20
Q

types of labral tears

A
  • SLAP (10-2 on a clock)
  • Bankart (bony vs labral) (3-6 on a clock; anterior)
21
Q

Bankart tear

A

Bony
- labrum tears and a part of the bony glenoid fractures or breaks off. May lead to notable bone loss in the glenoid, a cause chronic instability
Labral
- an anteroinferior labral tear
- labrum tears from the glenoid, and the injury involves only the soft tissue. Most common

22
Q

management of shoulder injuries

A
  • RICE
  • taping and bracing (helpful in reducing reoccurrence of injury
  • ROM
  • strengthening
  • balance
  • functional/sport specific exercises
  • RTP
23
Q

fractures

A

MOI: external or internal force (fall, muscle force, external blow)
Observation
- deformity
- swelling
- pain

24
Q

most commonly fractured bone(s) in the shoulder girdle

A
  1. clavicle
  2. humerus (surgical neck)
  3. scapula (uncommon)
25
Q

why do ppl on anabolic steroids tear their bicept and pecs more frequently than gen pop

A
  • muscle grows very fast but the tendon doens’t grow as fast
  • they then overload the tendon
