Study Notes
Painful Shoulder Syndromes
- Impingement Syndromes: Result from mechanical compression and irritation of soft tissues (rotator cuff and subacromial bursa) in the suprahumeral space, leading to shoulder pain.
- Symptoms: Pain during overhead reaching, a painful arc in mid-range, and specific degrees of pain with positive impingement tests.
- Causes: Often related to excessive or repetitive overhead activities in individuals, especially older recreational athletes.
Jobe’s Classification of Impingement
- Group 1: Pure impingement - Typically occurs in older athletes with partial undersurface rotator cuff tears and subacromial bursitis.
- Group 2: Impingement with labral/capsular injury - Associated with instability and secondary impingement.
- Group 3: Hyperelastic soft tissues - Results in anterior or multidirectional instability with intact labrum but potential rotator cuff tears.
- Group 4: Anterior instability without impingement - Often due to trauma, potentially causing dislocation.
Degree and Frequency of Instability
- Instability can progress from subluxation to dislocation.
- Types of instability are categorized as acute, recurrent, or fixed.
Neer’s Classification of Rotator Cuff Disease
- Stage I: Edema and hemorrhage, commonly occurring in patients around 40 years of age.
- Stage II: Degenerative changes, more severe structural damage occurs with age.
Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Impingement
- Intrinsic Factors: Affect the integrity of musculotendinous structures, including vascular issues impacting blood supply.
- Extrinsic Impingement: Results from mechanical wear on the rotator cuff during arm elevation, particularly affecting the supraspinatus tendon.
Specific Conditions Associated with Impingement
-
Intrinsic Impingement Conditions:
- Infraspinatus and bicipital tendonitis.
- Glenoid labrum and biceps tendon instability.
- Subdeltoid (subacromial) bursitis.
-
Types of Injuries: Can arise from specific trauma or overuse, such as:
- Anterior injuries from racket sports lead to strains in pectoralis minor, subscapularis, and biceps.
- Inferior injuries potentially caused by motor vehicle trauma lead to strains in the long head of the triceps and serratus anterior.
Primary Extrinsic Impingement
- Results from anatomical or biomechanical factors affecting shoulder mechanics.
- May involve structural variations like bony spurs and changes in the acromion or humeral head.
