Shoulders, Knees, and Ankles –for clinicians who have other priorities. Ron Olson, MD Duke Student Health
Green • Just want to be safe. • Nothing fancy • What needs prompt attention
Shoulder • No diagnosis, no definitive management but recognize what may need urgent care • Based on • Anatomy • What the patient says
Shoulder --Anatomy • head of humerus • scapula • acromion • glenoid • spine • glenohumeral joint • clavicle (collar bone) • acromio-clavicular joint
1. Head of humerus Palpate acromion and humeral head
2. Scapula -- glenoid • part of the scapula
Shoulder--Assessment • Check neuromuscular status • Check basic movement internal/ext rotation, abduction • Palpate acromioclavicular jt • Palpate acromion and humeral head
Shoulder--assessment 1. Check neuromuscular status • fingers move • light touch fingers
Shoulder--assessment 1. Check neurovascular status • fingers move • light touch fingers • pulse/color
Shoulder--assessment 1. Checkneurovascular status • fingers move • light touch fingers • light touch deltoid
Shoulder--assessment 1. Checkneurovascular status 2. Check basic movement internal/ext rotation, abduction
Shoulder--assessment • Check neuromuscular status • Check basic movement • Palpate acromioclavicularjt
Shoulder--assessment 3. Palpate acromioclavicular jt
Shoulder--assessment • Check neuromuscular status • Check basic movement 3. Palpate acromioclavicularjt 4. Palpate acromion and head of humerus
acromion clavicular jt acromion humeral head ? Anterior Dislocation
Shoulder--Management • Check neuromuscular status • Check basic movement internal/ext rotation • Palpate acromioclavicular joint • Palpate acromion and humeral head • If assessment is • fairly normal, If not, • can wait until urgent care • tomorrow needed
Shoulder--management Immobilizer for comfort
Blue • Confident in recognizing urgencies • Recognize a common condition
Shoulder -- Anatomy • Rotator cuff • Subacromial arch • Impingement
Shoulder -- anatomy • Rotator cuff • Subacromial arch • Impingement
