25
Etiology: - Direct blow, or FOOSH - Fracture locations in shaft, at surgical neck, supracondylar, or epiphyseal - Proximal fracture may also be associated with dislocation
humeral fracture
26
where are common fracture sites for the humerus?
shaft, surgical neck, supracondylar or epiphyseal
27
Pain, swelling, point tenderness, decreased ROM are signs and symptoms for?
humeral fracture
28
____ fractures may be mistaken for contusion - check for pulse down low because if they lose this it is a problem!
humeral
29
management for humeral fracture
treat for shock, splint and sling prior to transportation
30
Etiology: - Result of direct blow, fall on point of shoulder, FOOSH - Graded 1-6 depending on severity
Acromioclavicular Sprain
31
Signs & Symptoms: - Mild to severe pain - Swelling - Altered ROM (adduction/abduction) - Step deformity
Acromioclavicular Sprain
32
management for Acromioclavicular Sprain? Grades 1-3 and 4-6?
-ice, stabilize and referral -1 to 3: (nonoperative) 3-4 and 2 weeks of immobilization respectively - 4 to 6: will require surgery (aggressive rehab required for all grades)
33
Grade 1 AC joint sprain?
no disruption
34
Grade 2 AC joint sprain?
tear of AC lig. and partial displacement
35
Grade 3 AC joint sprain?
rupture of AC and CC ligaments
36
Grade 4 AC joint sprain?
post. separation of lateral clavicle
37
Grade 5 AC joint sprain?
complete lig. rupture; tearing of deltoid and trap attachments
38
Grade 6 AC joint sprain?
inferoposterior displacement
39
Etiology: | Indirect force, blunt trauma (may cause displacement)
Sternoclavicular sprain
40
Sternoclavicular sprain - pain and slight disability is grade _
1
41
Sternoclavicular sprain - pain, subluxation with deformity, swelling and point tenderness and decreased ROM is grade _
2
42
Sternoclavicular sprain - gross deformity (disloc.), pain, swelling, decreased ROM is grade _
3
43
management of sternoclavicular sprain?
RICE, reduction if necessary, immobilized for 3-5 weeks
44
sternoclavicular sprains can be ___ or ___
anterior or posterior
45
Etiology: | Forced abduction and/or external rotation or a direct blow
glenohumeral sprain
46
Signs and Symptoms: - Pain during movement especially when re-creating MOI - Decreased ROM & pain with palpation
GH sprain
47
Management for GH sprain: - RICE for __-__ hours; sling - Therapeutic modalities used for? - Must be aware of potential development of _____ conditions
24-48; regaining ROM then regaining full strength; chronic
48
Etiology for Acute Subluxations/Dislocations: - _____ dislocation (most common); forced into ____ & ____ - ____ dislocation: forced into ____ & ____ ; falling on an extended & internally rotated GH - Least common is _____ (underneath armpit)
anterior; abduction and external rotation posterior; adduction and internal rotation inferior
49
Signs and symptoms: | -flattened deltoid, head in axilla; arm carried in slight abd’n & ER; moderate pain and disability
anteroinferior sublux/dislocation
50
Signs and symptoms: - severe pain & disability - arm carried in adduction & internal rotation - acromion & coracoid prominent - limited external rotation & elevation
posterior sublux/dislocation
51
What is a SLAP lesion?
tissue damaged with GH dislocation (damage to the labrum) - Superior Labral tear from Anterior to Posterior
52
"caused by compression of cancellous bone against anterior glenoid rim creating a divot in the humeral head (teacup ramming into saucer and actually causing a fracture)"
Hill Sachs lesion - tissue damage with GH dislocation
53
Etiology: - Bursal inflammation compressing tendons; exacerbating factors - Contributing factors include joint laxity, postural mal-alignments & repetitive over head motions.
Shoulder impingement - subacromial bursitis
54
Signs and Symptoms" | -Diffuse pain, pain on palpation; increased GH ER & decreased IR; positive ‘Painful Arc’ & impingement tests
Shoulder impingement - subacromial bursitis
55
Management for Shoulder impingement - subacromial bursitis?
- active rest - ice - instruct correct biomechanics - NSAIDs
56
Etiology: -Repetitive, overhead, ballistic activity that involves repeated stretching of biceps tendon causing irritation to the tendon and sheath; improper mechanics; impingement
bicipital tenosynovitis
57
Signs and Symptoms: - Tenderness over bicipital groove, swelling, crepitus due to inflammation - Pain when performing overhead activities
bicipital tenosynovitis
58
Management for ____ ____ includes: - Rest, ice and therapeutic modalities to treat inflammation; NSAIDs - Gradual program of strengthening and stretching
bicipital tenosynovitis
59
biceps brachii rupture etiology?
Result of a powerful contraction typically near muscle origin
60
Signs and Symptoms for ____ _____ rupture: | Patient hears a resounding snap; sudden and intense pain; deformity; weakness with elbow flexion & supination
biceps brachii
61
management for biceps brachii rupture?
- Ice for hemorrhaging, place arm in sling and refer to physician - Patient will require surgery
62
why does a tear to the distal bicep require surgery?
When it is a tear in the distal bicep (inferior point) then they have to have surgery because it is the only connection to the radius/ulna
