What’s the best way for PCPs to examine the Rotator Cuff Testing shoulder for RCD?
Impingement --Neer’s/Hawkins tests
Muscle Strength We concluded that there is insufficient evidence upon which to base selection of physical tests --Teres Minor for shoulder impingement, and potentially related conditions, in primary care. --Infraspinatus --Supraspinatus --Subscapularis
Rotator cuff disease exam Pain test: Painful arc
¨ Pain provocation tests ¨ Pain and s tr ength tes ts ¨ Often the pain radiates to lateral shoulder/proximal arm (“deltoid”) If painful, positive LR 3.7 for RCD. If not painful, negative LR 0.36 for RCD.

Groin pain/suspected Surgery for FAI labral tear
Limiting activities? ¨ Indications for surgery (FAI) PT-focus on Fluoroscopic injection • Pain with flexion/internal rotation strength/core exercises PT-focus on strength/core exercises • Labral tear on MRI • Relief of pain with injection test yes Symptomatic improvement? • Failed physical therapy Home exercise program Consider arthroscopic Return to sports debridement
Outcomes of hip arthroscopy When not to recommend surgery
Works well for FAI (Bedi JBJS 2013) Works well with younger patients (Larson AJSM 2012) “Arthroscopic labral debridement in patients forty-five years of age or older was associated with a relatively high reoperation rate and minimal overall improvement in joint- specific and quality-of-life outcome measures. Although differences in some outcome measures were statistically significant, most did not reach the level of the minimum clinically important difference. Arthroscopic debridement of labral tears in this patient population must be approached with caution as the overall clinical benefit was small.” JBJS 2014

When not to recommend surgery Finally…the knee
¨ 56 year old male presents with 3 months of medial sided knee pain, worse with flexion and “Overall, 45 % of the hips failed for squatting. It limits his activities including martial repeat surgery (20 %) or rating for hip function as abnormal or severely abnormal arts and running. He thinks he has a meniscus (25 %). Twelve hips (20 %) required subsequent surgical intervention at a mean tear. 23 (range 6-60) months (7 total hip arthroplasties, 2 open revisions, 3 arthroscopic revisions).” KSSTA2014
Physical Exam for meniscus tears MRI
¨ Joint Line Tenderness
¨ Apley Grind Test ¨ MRI for specific exam

However, medial meniscus extrusion, Changes occur near area of complex tears, and tears with large radial involvement were more common at removed meniscus baseline in cases compared with controls. CONCL USI ON: ->Having tear likely increases Knees with meniscus tears with greater radial involvement and extrusion are risk of arthritis (a little bit), at greater risk for later development of radiographic OA having surgery may or may not change history
