    Study Notes

    Orthopedic Injuries and Management

    • Chronic shoulder instabilities can be atraumatic, congenital, or neuromuscular, and are classified into anterior, posterior, and global groups.
    • Shoulder instability tests include load and shift tests, drawer tests, apprehension tests, and the sulcus sign to assess the magnitude of translation and diagnose stabilizer injuries.
    • Management of chronic shoulder instabilities involves conservative methods such as shoulder harness and structured rehab programs, or surgical repair involving inferior capsular shift and superior shift of flaps.
    • Elbow and wrist fractures and dislocations are common orthopedic issues, and the elbow is a hinge joint made from articulations of the humerus, radius, and ulna.
    • The elbow has three enclosed joints in one capsule, and normal alignment includes two epicondyles and an apex of the olecranon forming an equilateral triangle in flexion.
    • The elbow is supported by ligaments such as the annular, radial collateral, interosseous, and ulnar collateral ligaments, which play a significant role in joint stability.
    • The fibrous capsule of the elbow surrounds the joint with circular, vertical, and oblique fibers, attaching proximally around the lower end of the humerus and distally to the edge of the olecranon.
    • Elbow muscles include flexors (brachialis, biceps brachii) and extensors (triceps brachii), while the nerves involved are the median, radial, musculocutaneous, and ulnar nerves.
    • Fractures of the lower end of the radius can result in deformities such as Colles' or Smith's fractures, often managed with external fixation or plaster of Paris (POP) depending on the case.
    • Complications related to surgery and anesthesia for wrist fractures include unstable reduction, nerve stretch, compartment syndrome, and late complications like malunion and frozen shoulder.
    • Elbow dislocations are commonly caused by falls and can present with pain, dysfunction, and potential vascular and nerve injuries, requiring closed reduction and immobilization followed by rehabilitation.
    • Possible complications of elbow dislocation include joint stiffness, myositis ossificans, unreduced or recurrent dislocation, and osteoarthritis.
