1. FOOSH injury to the radial side of the wrist when it is in close-packed position - scaphoid and lunate are in rigid contact with radial articular surface 2. casting, surgery, bone stimulation - can take up to 3 months to heal 3. scaphoid has limited blood supply due to little periosteum surrounding it. can lead to: - avascular necrosis - delaye healing and non-unions

What two things can happen to the humeral head if laxity or instability is present

1. The humeral head is already in an incorrect position prior to movement. Movement then results in earlier encroachment of the humeral head to the coracoacromial arch. 2. The humeral head is in the correct position prior to movement, but once movement occurs the humeral head may move excessively in one arthrokinematic motion thus resulting in encroachment of the humeral head to the coracoacromial arch.

1. what is the MOI for a redial head fracture 2. what are the surgical treatment options?

1. compression of radial head into capitullum as a result of a FOOSH - can be comminuted or non-comminuted - malunions are likely 2. - closed reduction w/ cast - open reduction w/ early motion - ORIF - replacement or resection of radial head

Why is the supraspinatus more susceptible to tendonous pathology?

*With the arm along the side of the body, the tendon is pulled down and over the greater tuberosity of the humerus * The tuberosity compresses against the tendon, creating a zone of avascularity

hypomobility risk factors for shoulder impingement

*adhesions - most specifically in inferior aspect of capsule - prevenst inferior glide of humeral head during osteokinematic flexion, preventing greater tuberosity from clearing the acromion

Malunion:

* a fracture that has healed but incorrectly, leading to significant deformity

Scapular dyskinesis

* any alteration in the position or motion of the scapula * 3 main types - type 1 "sick": malposition of scapula, ineriormedial border prominence, coracoid pain and malposition, kinesis abnormality - type 2: protruded medial border - type 3: superior translation * treatment: restoring normal position and motion to allow proper scapulohumeral rhythm

What is different about a calcific tendonitis than traditional tendinitis? What muscle tendon is this unique to?

* calcific results from local necrosis within the tendon - the necrosis causes calcium deposits to occur within the tendon - has a "toothpaste" like consistency - can be laid down fast (acute) or more slowly (chronic) - requires radiography to identify * specific to supraspinatus

Muscle imbalance risk factors for shoulder impingement

* common pattern - anterior muscular tightness (pec major + minor, subscapularis) - posterior weakness (mid and low trap, rhomboids, serratus anterior, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor) * tight anterior muscle causes anterior tilt of scapula, closing subacromial space

What is a non union

* failure of fracture to heal with bone * i.e fibrous union, fracture healed by fibrous tissue rather than bone

Delayed union:

* fracture heals much slower than expected

Greenstick fracture:

* fracture on convex side of bone * only bending on concave side

What is impingement syndrome a reference to?

* greater tuberosity of the humerus coming into closer proximity to the underside of the caraco-acromial arch - soft tissues i.e supraspinatus, long head of biceps become impinged between humerus and coracoacromial arch

MOI for clavicular fractures

* most often a fall directly onto outside of the shoulder * can also be a FOOSH * most often affected: middle 1/3 of the bone *greenstick fracture most common: cancaveity on one side of bone, convecity with bone splintering on other side * figure 8 brace to treat

CRPS is a pathology of the communication between the ANS and the brain. - what does this mean?

* the response to injury through the sympathetic NS is impaired - redness, swelling, vasodilation, which are normal responses to injury, occur in CRPS without an injury

Why is the glenohumeral joint slightly abducted post surgery?

* to promote blood flow for the supraspinatus tendon * if the shoulder is adducted, the tendon is "wrung" out over the head of the humerus, decreasing blood flow

Pseudoarthrosis:

* type of nonunion that occurs due to continual movement at fracture site * a "false joint" starts to form

1. Fracture of the proximal 1/3 of the ulna with dislocation of proximal radioulnar joint 2. radius is displace and angled anterior

Instability risk factors for shoulder impingement (3)

1. humeral head is in incorrect position before movement. Movement then causes earlier encroachment of humeral head to coracoacromial arch 2. humeral head is in normal position prior to movement, but movement causes excess arthrokinematic movement that encroaches humeral head to coracoacromial arch 3. increased muscular effort due to laxity can pull humeral head up too much, closing off the subacromial space.

USA Clinical Philosophy

1. Injuries to the joints such as osteoarthritis, instability, and the effects of sprains and strains are considered impairments or dysfunctions and fall under the scope of physical therapy 2. Impairments are considered abnormal movements that either increase or decrease the amount of motion from normal. 3. If the impairment results in limited motion the treatment should focus on increasing motion by use of manipulation (joint structure), stretching (muscles and fascia), and activities that focus on full range of motion. 4. If the impairment results in increased movement the treatment should focus on decreasing motion by using stabilization and not manipulation. Stabilization includes correct posture, stabilization exercises, and correction of limitations in movement in surrounding areas. 5. Timely physical therapy is key in preventing adverse effects from impairments or dysfunctions 6. The role of the physical therapist is to deal with impairments and dysfunctions of the neuromusculoskeletal system and the physicians role is to diagnose and treat diseases. Different roles that are complementary to each other. 7. Physical therapy should focus on correcting the impairment rather than just pain. Unless pain prevents treatment of the impairment 8. Anatomy and biomechanics are the foundation to physical therapy so an understanding and continual study in these areas is essential to providing quality care for our patients. 9. Physical therapy is now at the level where it should be the primary care for movement dysfunctions and impairments not dependent on referrals from other healthcare professionals 10. The responsibility to get better lies with the patient because if they do not follow the education, example, or direction of the physical therapist they will not benefit from physical therapy.

This is where the tendons of the flexor digitorum profundus and flexor digitorum superificalis tendons pass through their fibrous tunnels 4. surgery is always required but adhesions are likely due to low blood supply

Physiology of the pop

1. Thrust manipulation to the joint 2. Increased Joint Space 3. Vacuum of negative pressure is created 4. "POP" formation of the CO2 gas bubble 5. POP is more than gas in the joint 6. Joint capsule is distracted by the gas like a balloon 7. Mechanoreceptor III is stimulated causing muscle inhibition 8. Local relaxation is experienced *PAIN RELIEF* 9. Has biomechanical effect as the synovial capsule is stretched and adhesions may be snapped
