Study Notes
Shoulder Injuries Diagnosis and Treatment
- Rotator Cuff Tear: Affects supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons.
- Jobe Test and Hawkins Test: Utilized to assess shoulder pain and impingement.
- Symptoms of shoulder impingement include pain during range of motion (ROM).
- Adhesive Capsulitis (Frozen Shoulder): Characterized by limited motion and requires long-term physical therapy (approximately 6 months).
- Recurrent Shoulder Dislocation: Associated with Bankart lesion, requiring closed reduction or arthroscopic repair if constant dislocations occur.
Elbow Anatomy and Conditions
- Humerus Articulation:
- Trochlea articulates with proximal ulna.
- Capitellum articulates with proximal radius.
- Cubitus Valgus Deformity: Occurs when a supracondylar fracture heals inappropriately, leading to ulnar nerve complications. Treatment involves osteotomy and nerve transposition.
Common Hand and Wrist Issues
- Trigger Finger: Presents with locked finger in flexed position, usually managed conservatively using NSAIDs, splints, and steroid injections.
- Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow): Pain on resisted wrist extension, often treated with activity modification and physical therapy.
Case Assessments
- Patient histories highlight various upper limb conditions, including recurrent dislocations, pain in the shoulder and elbow, and complications from sports injuries.
- Diagnostic Tests: Spurling’s test for cervical lesions, Durkan’s and Tinnel’s tests for carpal tunnel syndrome.
Radiographic Findings
- Imaging may reveal fractures or dislocations, such as:
- Distal radius fracture with dorsal displacement.
- Anterior dislocation of the proximal humerus.
Treatment Overview
- Conservative management includes physical therapy, NSAIDs, and activity modifications.
- Surgical interventions may involve arthroscopy or open techniques for persistent symptoms.
- Continuous assessment of ROM and symptoms is critical for effective treatment plans.
