Q

AC joint injury grading

A

downward blow to lateral shoulder

ligament sprain –> disruption of AC joint capsule and coraclavicular ligaments

  • Grade I: AC ligament sprain. Radiographs are normal.
  • Grade II: Disruption of the AC ligament with intact CC ligaments.
  • Grade III: AC joint and CC ligamentous disruption. CC interspace is widened 25–100% relative to the contralateral side.
  • Grade IV: Distal clavicle displaced posteriorly into trapezius (seen on CT or axillary view).
  • Grade V: Severe grade III injury, with >100% displacement relative to the other side.
  • Grade VI: Inferior dislocation of the distal clavicle.

Q

lightbulb sign? trough sign?

shoulder dislocation

A
  • The lightbulb sign describes the appearance of the humeral head due to the fixed internal rotation of the arm often seen in posterior dislocation.
  • The trough sign describes a compression fracture of the anteromedial aspect of the humeral head, also known as a reverse Hill–Sachs, from impaction of the humeral head on the posterior glenoid rim upon recoil.
