Orthopedic Management and Injuries Quiz

A type of shoulder joint dislocation where the medial end of the clavicle moves forward, commonly caused by direct trauma to the joint.

This is a type of shoulder joint dislocation where the medial end of the clavicle moves backward, often resulting in more severe pain and potential vascular problems.

This term refers to the joint formed between the clavicle and the sternum (breastbone).

A type of treatment used for sternoclavicular dislocations, where the shoulder is kept immobile for a period of time.

A surgical procedure that may be necessary for sternoclavicular dislocations, especially when there is a large displacement or the clavicle sticks out prominently.

This refers to the joint between the acromion (part of the shoulder blade) and the clavicle.

These are the ligaments that support the acromioclavicular joint.

X-rays taken from different angles to visualize the shoulder joint and assess the severity of the dislocation.

A condition where the acromioclavicular joint is injured, causing pain and instability in the shoulder.

A type of AC joint sprain where the acromioclavicular ligament is completely torn.

A fracture that occurs in the collarbone, usually due to a fall directly onto the shoulder.

A type of shoulder injury where the labrum, a ring of cartilage around the shoulder socket, is torn.

A type of shoulder injury where the space between the shoulder blade and the collarbone is compressed, causing pain and limited movement.

A compression fracture of the anteromedial aspect of the humeral head, often occurring with anterior shoulder dislocations.

A test that provokes pain or instability in the shoulder by moving the arm into a position that stretches the anterior structures of the joint.

A test to assess shoulder instability, where the humeral head is pulled forward to check for excessive movement.

A test that assesses the integrity of the posterior structures of the shoulder joint by applying a posterior force to the humerus.

A test used to assess potential shoulder instability by applying a posterior force to the humerus while the arm is abducted and externally rotated.

Occurs when the humeral head partially slips out of the glenoid fossa, often causing a feeling of catching or instability.

Complete separation of the humeral head from the glenoid fossa, causing significant pain and loss of function.

This pattern of movement should generally be avoided after an anterior shoulder dislocation, as it can increase the risk of recurrence.

A condition where the scapula (shoulder blade) fails to descend and develop normally, often due to weakness in the serratus anterior muscle caused by a long thoracic nerve injury.

A condition where the scapula (shoulder blade) protrudes outward, usually because of weakness in the trapezius muscle due to an accessory nerve injury.

A condition where the scapula rubs against the ribs, causing a 'popping' or 'grinding' sound, often associated with pain, weakness, and abnormal scapular movement.

A break in the upper part of the humerus bone (the upper arm bone), typically occurring near the shoulder joint. Most common in elderly individuals due to falls or younger individuals due to high-energy trauma.

A common type of proximal humeral head fracture that occurs in elderly individuals with osteoporosis, typically after a fall.

A condition where the supraspinatus muscle, the primary abductor of the shoulder, becomes inactive, resulting in difficulty raising the arm. This can happen due to a fracture in the surgical neck of the humerus.

A complication of proximal humeral head fractures that can occur due to injury to the axillary artery, which supplies blood to the shoulder and upper arm.

A complex neuropathic pain syndrome characterized by intense pain, autonomic dysfunction, and potential contractures in the affected limb. Often caused by a nerve injury.

A condition that affects the space between the clavicle and the first rib, causing pain, numbness, and weakness in the arm and hand.

A type of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome that affects the space between the scalene muscles in the neck.

A type of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome that happens in the space between the coracoid process and the pectoralis minor muscle.

A type of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome affecting the space between the clavicle and the first rib.

A test used to assess Thoracic Outlet Syndrome by checking for changes in blood flow and nerve function during arm positioning.

This test assesses blood flow to the hand by compressing the subclavian artery at the clavicle.

A test for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome that involves checking for changes in blood flow to the hand during arm positioning.

A test for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome that involves raising the arm to a 90-degree angle and then checking for changes in blood flow and nerve function.

A specific test for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome that involves performing various arm positions to assess for changes in blood flow and nerve function.

A condition involving pain and restriction in shoulder movement, particularly flexion and abduction, caused by thickening and tightening of the shoulder joint capsule.

A type of shoulder injury involving a tear of the superior labrum, the rim of cartilage around the shoulder socket, often at the site where the biceps tendon attaches.

A condition where the shoulder blade (scapula) moves away from the rib cage, causing a wing-like appearance, usually due to weakness in the serratus anterior or trapezius muscles.

The condition where the biceps tendon, particularly its long head, becomes inflamed, often seen in individuals over 40 with a history of impingement or rotator cuff tears.

An injury where the biceps tendon tears, usually at the proximal end of the long head, causing possible sharp pain, snapping sensations, and a bulge in the lower arm.

A condition where calcium deposits form in the shoulder tendons, most commonly in the supraspinatus tendon, causing sharp pain and difficulty with shoulder movement.

A group of conditions involving compression of the tendons and bursa in the shoulder, often beneath the acromion bone, leading to pain and restricted movement.

The test where the examiner internally rotates the shoulder and then brings the arm forward to assess for pain, potentially indicating impingement.

The test where the examiner passively flexes the arm overhead, aiming to recreate pain, indicating possible impingement.

A group of tests used to assess the stability of the shoulder joint by applying pressure and shifting the humeral head, detecting possible instability or laxity.

A test used to assess shoulder instability by applying pressure to the arm in a specific position to see if the arm moves, typically indicating labral tears or instability.

The most common type of shoulder dislocation, involving the displacement of the humerus (upper arm bone) out of the glenoid socket.

A rare type of scapular fracture, often occurring alongside serious injuries, characterized by tenderness over the scapula and shoulder region.

A congenital condition where the shoulder blade is abnormally high and positioned, resulting in a winged appearance and possible shoulder limitation.

An injury causing a tear or rupture of the rotator cuff tendons, the group of muscles that stabilize the shoulder, potentially leading to significant pain and weakness.
