3. Deformity
• Palpation
• Range of motion
• Tests and signs
Tests and signs
Impengement sign – Positive in rotator cuff inflammation/tear
the examiner stabilizes the scapula while standing behind
the patient and passively internally rotate and forward
flexes the patient shoulder more than 90 degree
Impengement test – injection of local anesthesia(5ml of 1% lignocaine) in the subacromial space. It is
positive if the pain goes away
impingement sign
Special tests
Modified Neer’test
(Hawkins kennedy
test
Painfull arc test
Jobe’s test
TEST FOR ROTATOR CUFF LESION
DROP ARM TEST-
Helpful in diagnosing massive rotator cuff tear
the examiner abducts the patient shoulder to more
than 90 degree and then ask the patient to hold it
HORNBLOWER SIGN-
To test the integrity of infraspinatus and teres minor
tendon
the patient elbow is flexed to 90 degree and then arm is
elevated to 90 dergree of abduction.
patient rotates the arm externally against examiners
resistance

investigations
 Xray -
1. An ap view x-ray is enough in most cases
2. Lateral and axillary views for specific cases like posterior shoulder dislocation
• usg- has been reported to detect full thickness tears in 92 to 95 % of cases
• Ct scan – are helpful in assessing glenoid bone loss and humeral head in recurrent instabilities.
• Mri/arthrography – for soft tissues injuries like rotator cuff tears
• Arthtoscopy – it is used for treatment and diagnosis of most shoulder disorders these days
• Sometimes nerve conduction studies and electromyography studies may be done
Scapular y view xray
Diagnostic
arthroscopy
Regional Shoulder Conditions
ROTATOR CUFF Syndrome
Caused by 5 conditions
 Supraspinatus tendinitis(impingement syndrome)
 Rotator cuff rupture
 Acute calcific tendinitis
 Biceps tendinitis and/or rupture
 Adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder)
IMPINGEMENT SYNDROME
 Age : over 40 years
 Overhead activities
 Bursitis and supraspinatus tendinitis
 Acromial shape:type 2 and 3 acromion
 AC arthritis or ac joint osteophytes may result in
impingement and mechanical irritation to the ratator cuff tendons
SYMPTOMS
 Pain in flexed, internally rotated and overhead position.
 Pain from subacromial bursitis or rotator cuff tendinitis
 Pain when sleeping on the affected side
 Pain often worse at night
 Decreased range of motion especially abduction
Differential diagnosis
 Rotator cuff tear
 Calcific tendinitis
 Biceps tendinitis
 Cervical radiculopathy
 Acromioclavicular arthritis
 Glenohumaral instability
 Degeneration of glenohumeral joint
Physical Examination
 Atrophy of rotator cuff muscle
 Decreased range of motion (especially internal rotation and adduction)
 Weakness in flexion and external rotation
 Pain on resisted abduction and external rotation
 Pain on impingement tests(neers impingement test ,Hawkins impingement test)
Radiological finding
 plain x-ray
. acromial spurs
. Ac joint osteophytes
. Subacromial sclerosis
. greater tuberosity cyst
 mri
. To confirm the diagnosis and
rule out rotator cuff tear
• Management
 Conservative treatment
Always start with it
 Operative
Indicated when conservative measures fail
Conservative Treatment
 Avoid painful over head activities
 Physiotherapy
1. stretching and range of motion exercise
2. strengthening exercise
 NSAIDS
 Steroid injection into the subacromial space
Operative Treatment
 The goal of surgery is to remove the impingement and create more subacromial
space for the rotator cuff
 Indicated if there is no improvement after 6 months of conservative treatment
 The anterolateral edge of the acromium is removed
 Success rate 70-90%
Rotator Cuff Tear
Causes of rotator cuff tear
 Intrinsic factors
. vascular
. Degenerative(age related)
 Extrinsic factors
impingement
.acromial spurs
.ac joint osteophytes
 repetitive use
 Traumatic (example a fall or trying to catch or lift a heavy object)
Clinical presentation
 Shoulder pain (the most important)
 Anterior with radiation to arm
 When elevating the arm
 Progression: pain at rest, frozen shoulder
 Decreased ROM
Classification
 Rotator cuff tear can be classified according to
1. Depth
2. Etiology
3. Age of tear
4. Size
5. Number of tendon involved
6. Patte classification – most elaborate
Diagnosis
 History
 Physical examination
test used in shoulder evaluation( drop arm test, hornblowler sign)
 X- rays
 MRI- best choice for diagnosis
Treatment of rotator cuff tear
 Conservative
Conservative for (partial thickness) tears
Training for strengthening core body and shoulder girdle musculature
preventing tear progression
(rest ,activity modification , gentle passive and active motion
exercise ,anti-inflammatory medication , subacromial corticosteroid injection)
 Operative
minimum of 2-3 months/for full thickness tear
surgical repair can be performed through
 Open
 Arthroscopically assisted mini open,
 All- arthroscopic techniques
Adhesive capsulitis(frozen shoulder)
 Functional loss of passive and active shoulder motion
 More common among woman
 Age 40-60 year
 Patho anatomy
. Inflammatory process causing fibroelastic ,proliferation of joint capsule
leading to thickening, fibrosis, and adherence of joint capsule to itself and
humerus
.fibroblast/myofibroblast with abundant type 3 collagen
.leads to mechanical block to motion
Frozen shoulder
 Associated with
.diabetes mellitus
.dupuytrens disease
.hyperlipedemia
.hyperthyroidism
.cardiac disease
.hemiplegia
Frozen shoulder
 Clinical feature
Mainly pain and stiffness
Four stages of adhesive capsulitis
stage 1-(symptoms for <3 months) :
mild to moderate dull aching pain even at rest
progressive loss of motion
loss of external rotation and abduction with mild decrease in internal
rotation in adduction
stage 2-(symptom for 3-9 months):
continuum of stage 1 with more scarring and similar synovitis
loss of motion is present in all planes and full ROM is painfull
Frozen shoulder
Stage 3-(symptoms for 9-14 months):
initial history of painful stiffness of shoulder that burns into relatively
pain free but stiff shoulder
Stage 4-(stage of thawing):
characterized by the slow ,steady recovery shoulder function
there is capsular remodelling with increased movements and shoulder
usage
Treatment
 Depends on the stage of the disease
 Patient education in all phases
 Corticosteroid/long acting local anesthesia injection
 Manipulation of shoulder under anesthesia
 Arthroscopy(releases fibrotic capsule)
 Psychotherapy is suggested due to psychological underlying causes of the disease
Acute calcific tendinitis
 Acute shoulder pain following deposition of calcium hydroxyapatite
Crystals in the supraspinatus tendon
Clinical feature
. age 30-40
. agonizing shoulder pain after exercise
. Tender to palpitation
. Subside within days spontaneously
treatment
.Rest in a sling
.NSAIDS
.corticosteroids local injection
.surgery: calcific material scoped out
Rupture of long head of biceps
 Usually accompany rotator cuff disruption
 Usually seen in middle-aged patients
 Younger patients in heavy weightlifting or other high energy contact sports
 Snap in the shoulder after lifting an object
 Severe pain and swelling with feeling of loss of strength especially in elbow flexion and shoulder
external rotation
 Popeye sign
 Treatment
conservative
surgical-tenodesis, Tenotomy
Dislocation of the shoulder
 Mostly anterior >95% of dislocation
 Posterior dislocation occurs 2-4%
 True inferior dislocation (luxation erecta) occurs <1%
 Habitual non traumatic dislocation may present as multi directional dislocation due to generalized
ligamentous laxity and is painless
Mechanism of anterior shoulder dislocation
 Usually indirect fall on abducted and extended shoulder
 May be direct when there is a blow on the shoulder from behind
Clinical Picture
 Pain
 Holds the injured limb with other hand close to trunk
 The shoulder is abducted, and the elbow is kept flexed
 There is loss of the normal contour of the shoulder
 Anterior buldge of the head of humerus may be visible
 A gap can be palpated above the dislocated head of the humerus
Imaging
 Radiographs
AP
, Axillary , Scapular Y views must be taken
findings
. Incongruence between the humeral head and glenoid
. the humeral head is displaced medially and overlies the glenoid
. Anterior vs posterior location of the humeral head can be best visualized
on the axillary lateral or scapular y view
Associated injuries of Anterior shoulder
 Injury to the neuro vascular bundle in axilla
 Injury to the axillary nerve (usually stretching leading to temporary neuropraxia)
 Associated fracture
 Rotator cuff tear-more likely in older patients
Associated condition
• Bankart lesion
. Fracture of the anterior inferior glenoid following impaction of the humeral
against the glenoid
 Hill-sachs lesion
. Compression chondral injury of the posterior superior humeral head
following impaction against the glenoid
Management of Anterior Shoulder Dislocation
 It is an emergency
 It should be reduced in less than 24 hours or there may be avascular
necrosis of head of humerus
 Following reduction, the shoulder should be immobilized strapped to
the trunk for 3-4 weeks and rested in a collar and cuff.
Methods of reduction of anterior shoulder
dislocation
 Hippocrates method
Stimpson's technique
Kochers technique
Posterior shoulder dislocation
 Posterior shoulder dislocation are less common than anterior shoulder dislocation
 Incidence 2-4%
 Risk factor
.bony abnormality
.Ligamentous laxity
Presentation

 Chronic instability often present with insidious onset
 Symptoms
pain with flexion , adduction , and internal rotation of arm
 Physical examination
inspection- prominent posterior shoulder and coracoid for acute posterior
dislocation
may be normal from chronic posterior instability from micro trauma
motion- limited external rotation for acute posterior dislocation
shoulder locked in an internally rotated position common in undiagnosed posterior
dislocation
Imaging
 Radiograph
recommended views
ap- may show a lightbulb sign
axillary lateral-best view to demonstrate dislocation
 CT
analyze the extent and location of bone loss in chronic dislocation
(>2 to 3 weeks )
 MRI
indication- chronic posterior instability without history of acute posterior dislocation
evaluate for suspected posterior labral tear ,reverse hill- sachs lesion, or associated rotator cuff tear
Treatment
 Non operative
. acute reduction and immobilization in external rotation for (4 to 6 weeks)
. physical therapy
 Operative
.open or arthroscopic posterior labral repair

Clinical Feature
 Painful, dull ache localized to the ac joint
 Pain worse at the beginning of exercise often radiating down into
the deltoid and trapezius
 Abduction of the arm beyond 90 degree and throwing causes pain
with disease progression, but the movements at glenohumeral
joint are usually full
