3 Goals of This Presentation Review common shoulder pathology Rotator Cuff, Labrum, Arthritis Elbow Medial & Lateral Epicondylitis Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Hand Pathology & Treatment Understand exams, treatments, differentials When to test, When to refer

4 Attrition Cuff tears are due to? A. Extrinsic Impingement B. Intrinsic Impingement C. Shoulder Instability

5 SHOULDER PATHOLOGY Glenohumeral (GH) Subacromial (SA) Acromioclavicular (AC)

6 Rotator Cuff Chief complaint Traumatic injury or Atraumatic Prior treatments SYMPTOMS: Pain, Weakness, Instability, Motion Loss, Neurologic Changes

7 Rotator Cuff Remember an injury can cause a tear The only other reason for tears is? Attritional tear is due to EXTRINSIC impingement

8 Rotator Cuff Tears Is it torn or not Exam and MRI help diagnose Partial and full tears both can progress Begin with standard x-rays MRI CT Arthrogram US EMG

9 Physical exam Cervical exam: pain usually constant goes above shoulder Palpate Inspect : atrophy Range of Motion Strength, start below shoulder then go up Neuro: Tinels, etc Special tests Stability tests

10 Cervical Spine issues Nerve root or central cord issues can refer distally Any prior cervical issues? Need to R/O neck issues If neck symptoms, start with X-ray C3-4, 4-5 level

11 Cervical Spine Tests Motor Sensory Strength Reflex Lhermitte Sign

12 Inspection Visual inspection, scars, atrophy, scoliosis, winging Atrophy: which muscles Deltoid, Supraspinatus (SS),Infraspinatus (IS),Teres Minor (TM) Biceps: Rupture long head(popeye) Deltoid= Axillary Nerve SS/IS= Suprascapular Nerve TM=Axillary nerve

13 Motion Loss Active motion loss:?cuff, AC Impingement, Arthritis, Loose Body Passive motion loss: Adhesive Capsulitis, loose body Prior to any surgery goal is obtain ROM for better results Know motion before surgery for comparison after

14 Adhesive Capsulitis Frozen Shoulder Pain with loss of motion Fibroblastic proliferation Associated with : Diabetes, autoimmune disorders, prior surgery as lung and breast, prolonged immobilization Mostly External Rotation (ER) motion loss but global loss as well

15 Adhesive Capsulitis NSAIDS Physical Therapy Intra-Articular injection Heat Within one month considerable relief and better motion MUA Arthroscopic Release only after 3-6 month failed care

16 GH INJECTION coracoid

17 Adhesive Capsulitis

18 Impingement Tests Classical tests for external or bursal pain Primary Compressive Disease from coracoacromial arch Neer vs Hawkins tests Injection test: 10cc 1% lidocaine SA space Crepitance with motion in SA space Pain that recreates patients symptoms

19 Impingement Tests HAWKINS NEER

20 Subacromial Injection Post acromion

21 Treatment Impingement Rest NSAIDS Therapy for Strength Injection Arthroscopy

22 Internal Shoulder Impingement has loss of which motion? A. External B. Internal C. Flexion D. Extension

23 Internal Impingement GIRD: Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit Typically Throwers Pain in extreme ER, throw position Limited IR seen Weakness has a Positive empty can sign Posterior tenderness at infraspinatus insertion area ASMI( American Sportsmed Institute): AOSSM.org STOP program: all sports

24 GIRD Image

25 Rehab of Overhead Athletes Dynamic Stabilization Drills Muscle balance Core Program Overall body mechanics Inflammation modalities, cold laser, iontophoresis Incorporate, motion, stretch, strength, throwing phases

26 Overhead Rehab Decrease irritating sport activity 2-8 weeks Continue with other phases of rehab, motion, stabilize, strengthen, resume activity Follow pitching rules counts and rest days Months of rest during season

27 Shrug Sign Pt will abduct shoulder as the rotator cuffs goal is to hold down the humeral head Shrug caused by torn cuff, weak, or absent cuff Deltoid normally then can elevate the shoulder Reliable for cuff pathology Clin Orthop Relat Res 2008;466:

28 Rotator Cuff Strength Testing It takes 20% deficit of strength to detect weakness Always compare opposite side Hand dominance

29 LIFT OFF TEST SUBSCAP EXAM Subscapularis Testing Belly Press Test Bone Joint Surg Am 1996:78:

30 SUPRASPINATUS TESTING

31 INFRASPINATUS TESTING STRONGEST EXTERNAL ROTATOR SEATED EXT. ROTATION ELBOW AT 90 DEGREE

32 Biceps Tendon Pain Generator Speeds Test Yeargason s Test

33 Radiologic testing for pathology With MRI evaluate muscle atrophy Atrophy determines age of tear Retraction of tear Impingement Labral injury Loose body Remember arthrogram or Ultrasound if cannot do MRI

34 Typical MRI of Cuff Tear

35 Partial Rotator Cuff Tears May occur over time Can progress More common on articular side, MRI PASTA= partial articular side tendon avulsion Delamination process Usually under 45 age Tear 50% or greater repair to bone Smaller 20%. Larger 51%, Full tear 29% Yamanaka etal. Clinical Ortho 1994

36 Partial Cuff Tear PASTA

37 Full Cuff Tears To repair or not Is Physical Therapy Relevant

38 Full Cuff Tears to repair or not Evidence Based Orthopedics 2012: Ch 89: Ch 88; Bursectomy equal to acromioplasty Home exercises preferred to PT US as effective as MRI for detecting full cuff tears Weakness, loss of function, acute injuries are reasons to repair

39 Shoulder Instability Means an abnormal excessive motion in one or more directions Instability is pathologic Multidirection (MDI) instability infers an inferior direction Bidirectional instability seen in throwers Laxity is different is not pathologic, Neuromuscular

40 Understanding Instability Frequency, acute, fixed Direction: ANT,POST,INF,MDI Cause: Traumatic Atraumatic Degree: Subluxation Dislocation Congenital Neuromuscular

41 Understanding Instability Congenital: usually multi-directional Ehlers-Danlos, Marfans Traumatic: 90% or more anterior dislocation

42 Anterior Shoulder Laxity Test Done in the plane of scapula Feel degree of motion Apprehension

43 Relocation Test

44 Sulcus test 0= no translation 1= 1cm or less 2= 2 cm or less 3> 2cm 3cm or > = MDI

45 Which is the best x-ray to detect a Bony Bankart Lesion? A. Y-View B. Westpoint C. Internal Rotation External Rotation

46 Instability X-Rays Standard x-rays Y view Axillary view Westpoint view: Bony Bankart Lesion

47 Dislocation X-ray AP VIEW Y VIEW

48 WestPoint X-Ray

49 MRI for Instability Labral tear Labral Tear

50 Plain xrays Look for simple OA

51 Osteoarthritis Shoulder Increases with age Global motion loss Pain Crepitance NSAIDS, Physical Therapy, Intra-articular Injection Surgery: Total Shoulder vs Reverse Shoulder

52 Shoulder Clinical Exams Neer Hawkins Obrien Lift off Belly Press Speed Yeargason Hornblower Impingement Cuff pathology SLAP/Labrum SubScap Subscap Bicep Bicep Infraspinatus/Teres Minor
