Shoulder Pain:Common conditions Marc Labbé, M.D. Taylor Brown, M.D. Presented at The Health Museum 4/19/2012
Shoulder Pain:Common conditions Anatomy Evaluation Conditions Impingement Frozen Shoulder Calcific Tendinitis Rotator Cuff Tear Instability Arthritis Fractures Review/Tips
Anatomy: overview • tendons connect muscles to bones to move joints that are surrounded by bursae
Anatomy: Bones • Humerus • Clavicle • scapula
Anatomy: Tendon • Cord that connects muscles to bone
Anatomy: Bursa • Fluid filled sac • Cushion between bones and overlying soft tissues • Reduces friction • Allows increased motion
Shoulder Physiology • Muscles control position of shoulder blade and humerus • Stability is a balance of ligaments and muscles
Shoulder Pathology • Posture • Muscular weakness • Proper Working Position
Shoulder Evaluation • History • Injury • Duration • Specific Limitations • Area of Pain
Shoulder Evaluation • Examination • Motion • Strength • stability
Shoulder Evaluation • X-Rays
Shoulder Pain:Common conditions • Impingement • Frozen Shoulder • Rotator Cuff tear • Instability • Arthritis • fracture • Codman –Supraspinatus and the Subacromial Bursa 1934
Impingement Syndrome • “Tendonitis” • “Bursitis” • “Bone spur”
Impingement Syndrome • Men = women • Any age • Weeks to months
Impingement Syndrome • Ache • Activity related • Night pain
Impingement Syndrome • Started after Too much… • Computer use • Gardening • Heavy lifting • Tennis • Golf • Throwing • fishing
Impingement Syndrome • “bone spur” • Acromion rubs on the rotator cuff and bursa • bursitis and tendonitis early • rotator cuff tear over time
Impingement Syndrome • Impingement signs • Neer • Pain with passive forward flexion while internally rotated • Hawkins • Pain with passive internal rotation while abducted 90 degrees • AJSM 2003
Impingement Syndrome Diagnose with history, physical exam, xrays, and a likely successful result with conservative treatment • Codman –Supraspinatus and the Subacromial Bursa 1934 • Bigliani – JSES 2008
Impingement Syndrome • Initial treatment • Relative rest • Ice • Anti-inflammatory medications • cortisone injection • Physical therapy
Impingement Syndrome • 90% successful with non-operative treatment • Shot • Medicine • Exercises/Posture Correction
Impingement Syndrome • Cortisone Injection • primary indication is difficulty sleeping • 70% improved with a single shot • 20% better with a second shot • If no better, Check MRI • Consider arthroscopic subacromial decompression if symptoms persist
Impingement Syndrome • Arthroscopic subacromial decompression • 30 minute day surgery • General anesthesia and a nerve block/pain pump • Sling 2-4 weeks • No restrictions • Begin rehab exercises immediately • 2-3 months to feel better
Impingement Syndrome • Arthroscopic subacromial decompression • Cutting block technique • Caspari 1992
Impingement Syndrome Frozen Shoulder
Shoulder Pain:Common conditions • Impingement • Frozen Shoulder • Rotator Cuff tear • Instability • Arthritis • fracture
Frozen Shoulder Adhesive capsulitis • Capsule surrounding shoulder ball and socket scars and “shrink wraps” itself inhibiting full motion and causing pain
Frozen Shoulder • Severe pain • Front of Shoulder • constant • stiff • Getting worse • May or may not know why
Frozen Shoulder • No injury • Shortly after minor injury • following breast or heart surgery
Frozen Shoulder • 40 - 60 years old • Women > Men • Thyroid disease • Diabetes • Heart disease • Will Occur on Opposite Side 30% of Time
Frozen Shoulder • Three phases • Inflammatory • Frozen • Thawing Davis mountains
Frozen Shoulder • Loss of exernal rotation • Passive and active motion loss • Normal strength
Frozen Shoulder • Initial treatment • Time • 18+ months to spontaneous resolution • Pain medicine • Cortisone injections • 2-3 • Stretching • May help or worsen
Frozen Shoulder • Arthroscopic capsular release with manipulation • If not improved with initial conservative measures • Capsule and ligaments are partially excised • Stretched to full motion while anesthetized • Cortisone Injection
Frozen Shoulder • Arthroscopic capsular release with manipulation • Sling 2-4 weeks for comfort only • Immediate motion • Immediate therapy to maintain motion • Capsulitis may grow right back without stretching
Calcific Tendonitis • Rare • Calcium buildup inside tendon • Cortisone injection • Arthroscopic removal
Shoulder Pain:Common conditions • Impingement • Frozen Shoulder • Rotator Cuff tear • Instability • Arthritis • fracture
Rotator Cuff Tear • Detachment of the tendon from the bone • Does not heal on own • Acute: single injury greater than threshold • Chronic: long term overuse, wear and tear
Rotator Cuff Tear • history • Injury (25%) • Pain without injury (75%) • Loss of overhead or behind the back activity without pain
Rotator Cuff Tear • Symptoms • Pain: anterior superior shoulder or deltoid insertion • Rest • Night • activity related • Weakness or disability • instability
Rotator Cuff Tear • Exam findings • Weakness/Pain • Active motion loss/Pain • Passive motion maintained
Rotator Cuff Tear • Diagnosed with • History • Exam • Xrays • Mri (or ultrasound)
Rotator Cuff Tear Full thickness Partial thickness
Rotator Cuff Tear • Nonoperative • cortisone injection • physical therapy • oral analgesics • Temporary relief • It will get worse with time
Rotator Cuff Tear Arthroscopic rotator Cuff Repair
Rotator Cuff TearArthroscopic rotator Cuff Repair • Sling 1 month • Healing 3 months • 98% with small tears • 50-85% with large tears • Maximum recovery 6 – 12 months
Rotator Cuff Tear • Arthroscopic Rotator cuff tear Repair: predictors of success • Tear size • Small < 1.5 cm • Large >3 cm • Age of Tear • Muscle and Tendon Atrophy • Patient age • <62 years • Tobacco usage
