What is Frozen Shoulder also known as?
Adhesive capsulitis
Characterized by painful and progressively restricted range of motion in the glenohumeral joint
What are the three phases of Frozen Shoulder?
- Acute/freezing/painful phase
- Adhesive/frozen/stiffening phase
- Resolution/thawing phase
What is the primary cause of a sprain?
The joint being forced suddenly outside its usual range of movement
What is the most common chronic condition of the joints?
Osteoarthritis (OA)
What are the common sites of ligament injuries?
- ACL
- PCL
- LCL
- MCL
- ATFL
- CTFL
- ACJ ligaments
What is the prevalence of Frozen Shoulder in the population?
2-5% of the population, more common in females aged 35-65
What is the definition of Femoralacetabular impingement (FAI)?
A pathological mechanical process caused by morphological abnormalities of the acetabulum and/or femur
What are the types of FAI?
- Cam
- Pincer
- Mixed/combined impingement
What are the phases of Frozen Shoulder and their characteristics?
- Acute/freezing: Pain at rest and extremes of motion
- Adhesive/frozen: Pain subsides, loss of motion
- Resolution/thawing: Improvement in range of motion
What is the classification of ligament injuries?
- Grade I: Overstretched with micro-tears
- Grade II: Partial tear with inflammatory signs
- Grade III: Complete rupture
What are common clinical signs of Osteoarthritis?
- Pain on weight-bearing activities
- Reduced range of motion
- Slight swelling
- Clicking/grinding
What is a Bankart lesion?
A tear of the labrum from the bone that can lead to shoulder instability
What are the two types of meniscal tears?
- Acute tears
- Degenerative tears
What are the risk factors for developing Osteoarthritis?
- Age
- Female gender
- Obesity
- Anatomical factors
- Muscle weakness
- Joint injury
What does PFPS stand for?
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
What is the primary function of a ligament?
To provide passive stabilization of a joint
True or False: Nearly all knees of asymptomatic adults show abnormalities on MRI.
True
What is the management strategy for a Bankart lesion?
Surgical procedure called Anterior Stabilisation
What are the common causes of PFPS?
- Overuse and overload of the patellofemoral joint
- Anatomical or biomechanical abnormalities
- Muscular weakness or dysfunction
What is the typical age range for individuals experiencing Frozen Shoulder?
35-65 years old
Fill in the blank: A _______ is an injury to a band of collagen tissue connecting two or more bones.
sprain
What is a HAGL tear?
Humeral Avulsion of Glenohumeral ligament
What is a common mechanism of injury for meniscal tears?
Twisting injury on a semi-flexed limb through a weight-bearing knee
What is the role of serum cytokines in inflammatory processes?
Facilitate tissue repair and remodeling
