Study Notes
Shoulder Anatomy and Joints
- Glenohumeral joint: Shallow ball and socket joint with a high range of motion, surrounded by the labrum for stability.
- Acromioclavicular joint: Limited movements governed by acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular ligaments, essential for shoulder stability.
- Sternoclavicular joint: Exhibits minimal movement; injuries are infrequent.
- Scapulothoracic joint: Functions as a gliding joint, crucial for arm rotation during throwing activities.
Glenohumeral Joint Stability
- Stability hinges on the capsulolabral complex and integrated muscular functions, especially from the rotator cuff.
- Anterior glenohumeral ligaments (superior, middle, inferior) and surrounding ligaments (coracoacromial, coracohumeral) enhance stability.
Common Injuries in Throwing Sports
- Common in athletes participating in baseball, tennis, volleyball, javelin, water polo, and swimming due to repetitive shoulder motions.
- Loss of internal rotation, buildup of posterior capsular tightness, and potential scarring can occur from repetitive activity.
Impingement and Pathology
- Posterior capsular tightness can cause posterosuperior impingement, leading to SLAP (Superior Labrum Anterior to Posterior) lesions and rotator cuff degeneration.
- Anterior capsule stretching can overload the rotator cuff, leading to cuff dysfunction and SLAP lesions, worsened by scapular dyskinesia and acromion shape.
Diagnostic Evaluation
- Diagnosis relies on comprehensive clinical history, muscle inspection, range of motion assessment, and special tests for impingement (Hawkin’s, Neer signs) and biceps tendon evaluation (Speed test, Yergesson test).
- Imaging (X-ray, MRI) is critical for identifying bony lesions, assessing cuff tears, and observing labral detachment.
Management Approaches
- Conservative management is typically recommended for Grade I and II AC joint injuries, while surgical intervention is necessary for Grades IV and above.
- Rehabilitation focuses on restoring strength, range of motion, and biomechanics; passive movements should be initiated early post-surgery to prevent stiffness.
Surgical Options for Shoulder Stability
- Surgical repair often involves arthroscopic techniques to reattach the labrum to the glenoid using anchors, addressing other lesions like capsular laxity.
- The open Latarjet procedure may be chosen for recurrent dislocations, severe instability, and substantial bony injuries.
Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit (GIRD)
- GIRD reflects a loss of internal rotation range due to anterior capsule stretching, correlating with instability and repeated throwing motions.
- Causes of injury include anterior capsule overstretching and secondary impingement, aggravated by muscle weakness, particularly in the periscapular region.
Scapular Dyskinesia and Acromion Types
- Scapular dyskinesia leads to improper scapular motion, which critically affects shoulder function in overhead movements.
- Acromion types vary (flat, curved, hooked), with the hooked type presenting the greatest risk for impingement and associated injuries.
Summary of Throwing Phases
- Multiple phases contribute to shoulder injuries, including stance, wind-up, cocking, acceleration, and follow-through, with the cocking phase being the most injurious.
Overall Implications
- Athletes should undergo regular assessments to identify early signs of injury, with an emphasis on preventive strategies to maintain shoulder health and performance.### Shoulder Joint Anatomy and Physiology
- The shoulder girdle includes the glenohumeral, acromioclavicular, sternoclavicular, scapulothoracic, and intercostal joints.
- Glenohumeral joint: A shallow ball-and-socket joint offering the widest range of motion, but prone to instability due to its structure.
- Stability of the glenohumeral joint relies on the capsulolabral complex and the centering action of the rotator cuff.
- Acromioclavicular joint allows minimal movements, mainly during extreme shoulder motions, stabilized by strong ligaments.
- Sternoclavicular joint has minimal movement and significance, with rare injuries.
- Scapulothoracic joint facilitates arm rotation above shoulder level, crucial for throwing sports.
Painful Throwing Shoulder
- Commonly seen in athletes from baseball, tennis, volleyball, javelin throwing, and swimming due to repetitive shoulder movement.
- Clinical signs include loss of internal rotation range due to posterior capsular tightness, potentially leading to impingement and SLAP lesions.
- Anterior capsule stretching may result in cuff overload, internal impingement, and subsequent instability.
Mechanisms of Injury
- Repeated throwing creates stability issues by stretching anterior capsule ligaments while overloading the rotator cuff.
- Posterior tightness can lead to internal impingement and further deterioration of shoulder stability.
Diagnosis and Management
- Diagnosis primarily involves a thorough clinical history and specific physical tests (e.g., Hawkins, Neer, apprehension tests).
- Imaging techniques:
- X-rays exclude bony lesions and confirm arthritis.
- MRI detects cuff lesions and other soft tissue injuries.
- Management includes conservative rehabilitation focusing on muscle strengthening and flexibility, with surgery as a last resort for severe cases.
Shoulder Instability
- Most common type is anteroinferior instability, occurring from forced abduction and external rotation.
- Recurrent dislocations may arise, typically due to underlying structural issues like Bankart lesions or Hill-Sach lesions.
AC Joint Injuries
- Caused mainly by falls impacting the shoulder; common in contact sports such as rugby.
- Management varies by severity: grades I and II treated conservatively, while grades IV, V, and VI may require surgical intervention.
Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL)
- PCL is the main stabilizer of the knee, often sustaining injuries alongside other ligaments.
- PCL injuries commonly occur due to stress or varus forces, particularly in contact sports.
- Diagnostic imaging (MRI) is crucial for identifying associated injuries.
Biomechanics and Management of Ligament Injuries
- The PCL controls posterior displacement of the tibia; affected by varying degrees of knee flexion.
- Management of combined ligament tears suggests reconstructive surgery during one session to prevent overstressing.
- Clinical assessments for ligament injuries should focus on understanding the nature of the injury (contact vs. non-contact) and accompanying symptomatology.
Rehabilitation Post-Surgery
- Emphasizes gradual recovery with early passive movements to prevent stiffness while regaining motion and strength.### Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) Anatomy
- The MCL consists of medial capsular, posterior oblique, meniscofemoral, and meniscotibial parts, extending from the medial femoral condyle to the tibial plateau.
- The superficial ligament is the largest medial structure (10-12cm long, 1.5cm wide), attaching proximal to the medial epicondyle and inserting at the medial proximal tibia.
Biomechanics
- The MCL is the primary restraint to valgus stress at 5-25 degrees of knee flexion.
- Anterior and posterior fibers work independently depending on knee flexion, with the MCL mostly engaged during full extension.
Classification of MCL Injuries
- Grade I: History and tenderness on the medial side with minimal joint line opening; may test negative on valgus stress.
- Grade II: Similar to Grade I with joint line opening but an endpoint present.
- Grade III: Continuous joint line opening without an endpoint; often termed "open book."
Clinical Presentation
- Commonly injured ligament in the knee with a history of valgus stress injury.
- Pain and tenderness located medially, especially at the medial epicondyle or proximal tibia.
- Valgus stress test is performed in full extension and at 30 degrees of flexion; minimal swelling may occur.
Diagnosis
- MRI is the preferred diagnostic tool, revealing irregularities and edema at the medial knee; it can also identify associated injuries.
- Radiological assessments may also include X-rays to check for bony instability or avulsions.
Management Strategies
- Conservative treatment is recommended for Grade I and II tears, including hinge knee braces and physical therapy to encourage healing over 6-8 weeks.
- Surgical intervention for Grade III tears involving continuous opening during stress tests or visible avulsion fractures.
Rehabilitation
- Early post-operative rehabilitation begins immediately to maintain muscle activity and prevent stiffness.
- Focus on regaining knee extension, range of motion, proprioception, and strength, following a timeline of about 6 months under strict supervision.
Posterolateral Corner Anatomy
- Complex structure consisting of static (lateral collateral ligament, posterolateral capsule) and dynamic components (iliotibial band, popliteus, etc.).
- Fractures of the fibula can significantly impact stability in the posterolateral corner.
Surgical Management of Ligament Injuries
- For ACL injuries, surgical treatment is often necessary, while for MCL, conservative management suffices unless damage is severe.
- The posterolateral complex often requires surgical intervention due to limited healing potential.
Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Anatomy
- The thickest knee ligament, primarily stabilizing the knee, originating from the medial condyle and inserting into the tibia.
- PCL injuries are often treatable conservatively, depending on the extent and type of injury.
Elbow Rehabilitation
- Early active mobilization is critical in preventing stiffness due to the sensitive nature of the elbow joint.
- Emphasis on training within pain limits and encouraging active movements for effective rehab.
Sports Injury Prevention
- General measures include warming up, proper training loads, protective gear, and health exams.
- Specific prevention techniques target common injuries such as ACL and hamstring strains.
AC Joint Injuries
- Most commonly occur from falling on the shoulder, prevalent in contact sports.
- Management varies, with conservative approaches for Grade I and II, and surgical options for higher grades (IV, V, and VI).
