Study Notes
Sports Injuries for Shoulder Joint
- Sports injuries are defined as injuries occurring during sporting activities or exercise. This includes injuries affecting participation in sports at all ages and performance levels.
- Shoulder injuries are common and can be categorized as follows:
- Acromio-clavicular dislocation
- Anterior shoulder dislocation
- Biceps tendon rupture
- Clavicle fracture
- External impingement
- Internal impingement syndrome
- Multi-directional instability
- Rotator cuff rupture
- SLAP tear
- Subscapularis tendon rupture
- Frozen shoulder
- Pectoralis muscle rupture
- Posterior shoulder dislocation
Acromio-clavicular Dislocation
- Symptoms: Acute onset of localized swelling and pain over the acromio-clavicular joint, often with or without immediate deformation.
- Etiology: This injury results from direct trauma or a fall onto an outstretched arm. Common in sports like rugby, ice hockey, and cycling.
-
Grades of Injury:
- Grade I: Partial ligament tear.
- Grade II: Slight deformation or lifting of the distal clavicle end, easily reducible.
- Grade III: Complete tear with significant lifting, still easily reducible.
- Grades IV-VI: Anterior or posterior dislocation that cannot be reduced, and may involve a fracture.
- Clinical Findings: Localized tenderness and fluctuating swelling over the acromio-clavicular joint, and a "loose" clavicle end and/or typical deformation. A positive cross-body test.
Anterior Shoulder Dislocation
- Symptoms: Acute onset of localized swelling and pain over the anterior part of the shoulder with deformation, following excessive external rotation and abduction trauma. This is the most common shoulder dislocation in sports (85-90%).
- Affected athletes will protect the arm in the "Napoleon position".
- Clinical Findings: Requires relaxation (under anesthesia) for repositioning, unless the team doctor is trained in the specific procedures. After reposition, the apprehension test and reposition test are positive.
- Investigations: X-rays in different planes to rule out fracture and demonstrate the severity of dislocation (including a check for posterior dislocation). MRI not usually required in acute cases, but may be needed in cases of severe trauma.
- Treatment: Conservative treatment (cold and compression, an eight-bandage to hold the acromio-clavicular joint in position for 3-5 weeks) is often sufficient for grades I-III. Some grade III injuries and most grade IV-VI will require surgery. The surgical procedures should be handled by an experienced shoulder specialist.
