Objectives • 1. Differentiate among common conditions associated with shoulder pain based on history and physical exam • 2. Formulate plans for imaging and treatment of specific shoulder conditions according to evidence based guidelines. • 3. Discuss indications & appropriate communication techniques for referral of patients with shoulder conditions to services including PT, surgery, etc. Common Sites of Shoulder Pain A A good place for a chart ACUTE CHRONIC • Fractures • Impingement Syndrome Humerus • Frozen Shoulder Clavicle Adhesive capsulitis Scapula • Biceps Tendonitis • *Dislocations • Labral Injury Humerus SLAP Tear AC Joint • Osteoarthritis SC Joint Glenohumeral • *Rotator Cuff Tear Acromioclavicular S.I.T.S.

Muscles • Osteolysis Distal clavicle Glenohumeral Dislocation Anterior: More frequent Arm held in external rotation, abducted Humeral head palpable anteriorly Dimple below acromion (Sulcus sign) Posterior: Uncommon; dx usually delayed Arm close to body, adducted, internally rotated Painful external rotation and forward elevation Phys. Exam: TTP over anterior/ posterior aspect Swelling Apprehension test: pain > apprehension Glenohumeral Dislocation XRAY: Anterior: AP view Posterior: Axillary or Y Bankhart lesion 50% Hill-Sachs lesion Treatment: Relocation Immobilization for capsular healing Mobilization 7-10 days post injury ROM to prevent adhesive capsulitis 90% recurrence in athletes who throw overhead Surgery to repair Bankhart 95% successful Hill Sachs Defect – Anterior Dislocation www.jacksonortho.org Hill-Sachs – Posterior Dislocation A A good place for a chart www.jacksonortho.org Bony Bankhart Lesion – Anterior Dislocation Dislocation Tests Sulcus Sign – Inferior Dislocation With patient’s arm in neutral, pull downward on elbow or wrist while observing shoulder area for a depression lateral or inferior to the acromion. Many asymptomatic patients, especially adolescents normally have some degree of instability. ACUTE CHRONIC • Fractures • Impingement Syndrome Humerus • Frozen Shoulder Clavicle Adhesive capsulitis Scapula • Biceps Tendonitis • *Dislocations • Labral Injury Humerus SLAP Tear AC Joint • Osteoarthritis SC Joint Glenohumeral • *Rotator Cuff Tear Acromioclavicular S.I.T.S.

Supraspinatus Testing A A good place for a chart Infraspinatus Testing Patient has pain when externally rotating the shoulder against resistance with elbow flexed to 90 degrees. Subscapularis Injury • Lift-Off Test: Position patient’s hand behind the back at waist level with palm facing out. Ask patient to move arm away from body against examiner resistance. Impingement A A good place for a chart Impingement Syndrome Neer: A series of pathological changes in the supraspinatus tendon: – Stage 1: Hemorrhage and edema – Stage 2: Tendonitis and fibrosis – Stage 3: Tendon degeneration of the RC & biceps; Bony changes & tendon rupture Impingement Syndrome Onset: Primary (aging) vs Secondary (athletes) Location: RC tendons impinged between humerus and coracoacromial arch. Anterolateral pain w occasional radiation to elbow Observation: Worse with OH movement & at night Clicking, popping; ROM painful 90°- 130° Palpation: Diffuse TTP NeuroVasc: Mild local erythema; normal neuro Xray: AP and Zanca (AP w 10° cephalic tilt) Hooked acromion; spurring; tendon/ligament sclerosis TX: Rest, NSAIDs, ice , modified activity Strength program when tolerated Surgery: 1° decompression; 2° stabilization Impingement Syndrome • Primary • Secondary – Older age – Younger age – Repetitive use – Athletes – Overhead reaching – Overhead throwing – AC spurring – Humeral stabilizer fatigue – Tendon degeneration – Tendon degeneration – Rest, ice, NSAIDs – Rest, ice, NSAIDs – Injection* – Injection* – RC strengthening – Humeral & scapular – Surgery stabilization exercises • SA decompression – Surgery • Bankhart repair Impingement Syndrome • Neer Test: With the arm fully pronated, raise the patient’s arm fully overhead in full flexion. Stabilize the scapula to prevent scapulo-thoracic motion. • Positive test = pain 90° - 130° ACUTE CHRONIC • Fractures • Impingement Syndrome Humerus • Frozen Shoulder Clavicle Adhesive capsulitis Scapula • Biceps Tendonitis • *Dislocations • Labral Injury Humerus SLAP Tear AC Joint • Osteoarthritis SC Joint Glenohumeral • *Rotator Cuff Tear Acromioclavicular S.I.T.S. Muscles • Osteolysis Distal clavicle Adhesive Capsulitis Onset: Slow onset, immobility after injury (RCT) Location: Thickening & contraction of capsule around glenohumeral
