Name the muscles involved in Shoulder rotation
SITS S= Supra spinatus I= Infra spinatus T= Teres minor S= Subscapularis
Name the MC rotator cuff injury
Supra spinatus (Tendinopathy / Tear)
Important information
Rotator cuff tendinopathy/tendinitis May present with pain but weakness won’t be present in tendinitis without tear
In both conditions there is no restriction of passive ROM
What is impingement syndrome in rotator cuff?
Flexion Or Abduction decreases space b/w humeral head and acromion
Pressure on supra spinatus tendon and subacromial bursa result compression of these soft tissues
Name the test to assess rotator cuff impingement
Neer test
Empty/full can test
Treatment of Rotator Cuff tear
Acute tear is surgery with best result obtained if performed within 6wks of injury
Name the muscle which abduct upper arm upto 15 degrees
Supra spinatus innervated by supra scapular nerve
Name the muscle which abduct upper arm upto 100 degrees (Starr after 15 degrees)
Deltoid
Name the muscle which abduct upper arm more than 90 degree
Trapeziums
Name the muscle which abduct upper arm more than 100 degree
Serratus anterior
Name the condition which restrict movement of shoulder both actively and passively
Adhesive capsulitis/ frozen shoulder MCC is rotator cuff tendinopathy
Difference b/w posterior and anterior shoulder dislocation
In POSTERIOR shoulder is held in adducted and internally rotated with visible flattening of anterior aspect of the shoulder and prominence of the coracoid process
In ANTERIOR shoulder is held slightly abducted and externally rotated
Radiographic findings of Posterior shoulder dislocation
Light Bulb sign
Rim sign
Trough line sign
Name the risk factor for Carpal tunnel syndrome
Remember DROP H
D diabetes
R RA
O obesity
P Pregnancy
H Hypothyroidism
How to confirm carpal tunnel syndrome ?
Nerve conduction studies
Name the carpal bone which cause acute carpal tunnel syndrome
Lunate
How De Quervain Tenosynovitis presents?
Pain occur by direct palpation of radial side of wrist at the base of the hand
What is Finkelstein test?
Used to De Quervain Tenosynovitis
- Passive stretching of affected tendon by grasping flexed thumb in palm with fingers result pain
How Trigger thumb present?
Pain over palmar aspect of 1st MCP and locking of thumb in flexion
How flexor carpi radialis tenosynovitis presents?
Pain with radial flexion of wrist and point tenderness of trapezium
How to elicited medial and lateral epicondylitis?
If pain occur by resisted wrist flexion and passive wrist extension then MEDIAL epicondylitis
If pain occur by passive wrist flexion and resisted wrist extension and supination then LATERAL epicondylitis
Name the nerve which hurt in anterior dislocation of humerus
Axillary nerve
What is the cause of injury of musculocutaneous nerve (C5-C7)?
Upper trunk compression
How to d/f proximal and distal median nerve injury?
If palmar sensation lost then mean proximal injury
