  • Sports Injuries
    Sports Injuries Lacrosse Lacrosse is America’s oldest game. It can be dated back to the Native Americans, and was used astraining for war. It is both played by boys and girls,however, some rules are drastically different between genders. Nonetheless, the combination of contact, a stick, a hard ball, and quick changes of direction, puts lacrosse players at risk for injury. Protective Equipment There is a wide range of equipment that lacrosse players wear. For girls, goggles and mouth pieces are mandatory. Lightweight gloves and headgear is optional. For boys, helmets with full face guards, shoulder pads, padded gloves, and mouth pieces are used. It is most important for this equipment to fit properly. If equipment does not fit properly it can actually cause injury. There is no helmet which has been proven through research that confused with a “dislocated shoulder,” which is when prevents concussions. the shoulder comes out of socket.

  • (AC Joint) Pain
    Acromioclavicular Joint (AC Joint) Pain. What is the acromioclavicular joint? Figure 1: Bony Anatomy. Figure1: AC Joint. Figure 1: Superior View of AC Joint. The shoulder joint is formed at the junction of three bones, the collar bone (clavicle), the shoulder blade (scapula) and the arm bone (humerus). The scapula and clavicle form the socket of the joint, and the humerus has a round head that fits within this socket. The end of the scapula is called the acromion and the joint between this part of the scapula and clavicle is called the acromioclavicular joint (AC joint) (See Figure(s) 1). How does an AC joint injury occur? An AC joint injury is often termed a shoulder separation and is always the result of a sudden, traumatic event that can be attributed to a specific incident or accident. The two most common descriptions of a shoulder separation are either a direct blow to the shoulder, or a fall on to an outstretched hand. When playing football the AC joint can be injured in both the ways, through a collision or by falling onto the shoulder, elbow or an outstretched arm. © Roland Jeffery Physiotherapy 2011 Phone: (09) 444-7643 Website: www.rjphysio.co.nz What are the signs and symptoms? Pain is the most common symptom of an AC joint or separated shoulder injury. The pain is usually severe at the time of injury and often associated with swelling and bruising. There are different ‘grades’ of AC joint injury, with grade 1 being a minimal joint disruption through to a grade 3, a severe injury.

Proximal means it is the end of the bone that is closest to the body. This typically happens after a fall on the affected side, followed by pain in that arm or shoulder. This is different than a dislocated shoulder, separated shoulder, broken collarbone or torn rotator cuff. About 5% of all fractures are proximal humerus fractures. There are different types of proximal humerus fractures. Depending on the type of fracture, it may be treated with or without a surgery. 85% of proximal humerus fractures are treated without surgery. Fractures are clas- sifi ed based on the number of fracture pieces, displacement of the pieces, involvement of the shoulder joint surface, and dislocation of the shoulder. 2-PART FRACTURE: This is when the proximal humerus is broken into two pieces, meaning there is one fracture line on x-ray. Commonly, this will be a fracture of the greater tuberosity, which is the part of the humerus where the rotator cuff attaches. When the humerus is forced in one direction (typically during a fall), and the rotator cuff remains intact, the greater tuberosity is broken off the humerus.

  • A Parent's Guide to Shoulder Injuries
    Sports Medicine A Parent’s Guide to Shoulder Injuries 1 We’re a national leader in the care and management of shoulder injuries. The Nationwide Children’s Hospital Sports Medicine specialists are experts in the care needed to get pediatric and adolescent athletes back in the game as quickly and safely as possible. 1 2 Understanding Shoulder Injuries in Student-Athletes Sports participation among recreational, competitive and elite athletes continues to grow, with over 25 million children and teens now participating in school-based sports and an additional 20 million in community-based youth sports programs. Increased participation brings an increase in sports-related injuries. An estimated 120,000 sports-related shoulder injuries occur in high school athletes each year, and shoulder surgeries account for about 10 percent of all surgeries performed on high school athletes. 32 Anatomy of the Shoulder The shoulder is a complex joint made up of bones, cartilage, ligaments and muscles. These all work together to create one of the most mobile joints in your body. Bones and Joints The shoulder is made up of three bones — the collarbone (clavicle), the shoulder blade (scapula) and the upper arm bone (humerus). The collarbone is a long, S-shaped bone that runs across the top of the chest. The shoulder blade is a triangular-shaped bone on the back of the shoulder. These bones come together to form the shoulder joints. Cartilage The labrum is a ring of cartilage on the outer edge of the shoulder blade. It helps to provide stability and cushioning to the shoulder joint.

  • Argus Orthopaedic Zone What Is Shoulder Separation?
    Argus Orthopaedic Zone What Is Shoulder Separation? By Thomas J. Haverbush, M.D. Orthopaedic Surgeon Transforming patient information into patient understanding. Shoulder separation is completely different from shoulder dislocation. Most of my patients get the two confused. If I can, I will try to demystify the two conditions. Mechanism There is a sharp blow to the tip of the shoulder when you fall on your shoulder (not the elbow or hand). It happens sometimes when a quarterback is tackled in the backfield (sacked). The collar bone separates or comes loose from its ligament attachment to the scapula. Ligaments tear, the clavicle pops up under the skin and you now have a separated shoulder. Ouch! It really hurts and looks awful. The A-C Joint The injury is to the so called A-C joint. Not to be confused with ACL (that is in the knee!). Not to be confused with dislocation – that is the ball coming out of the socket. Shoulder separation is the collar bone and shoulder blade coming apart on the very top of the shoulder. Mild or Severe A shoulder separates because there is damage to ligaments holding the bones together. How severe the separation is depends on how badly the ligaments are torn. Signs and Symptoms The symptoms can vary a lot. Pain on top of the shoulder May be able to see a bump. That is the clavicle sticking up. Lifting the arm is very hard to do. Shoulder feels best with the arm supported. When To Call Me If pain persists even though you do not see a bump If you see a bump Shoulder looks deformed Can’t use the arm Making the Diagnosis If on exam I suspect a shoulder separation, I will x-ray the shoulder while the patient holds a light weight.
