Physical Examination
• Must be undressed

tuberosity, biceps groove
• Motion » active / passive FF (150-180), ER (30-
60), ERA (70-90), IR (T4-T8)
• Strength » supraspinatus » ER, » O’Brien’s

“Whiplash”
• Cervical strain • Typically MVA • Forced flexion / extension • Must rule out cervical instability • X-ray: lateral flexion / extension ! • Rx: like cervical strain
» often takes months

“Burners”
• Upper cervical root neurapraxia » C5, C6
• “My arm went dead”
• Lateral neck flexion, arm distraction
• Return to sports/work when no sx’s
• Rule out cervical disc / stenosis
• Prevention - neck roll in football

Diagnosis of RTC Tear
• Hx: » pain at night
» pain with overhead use
• PE: » impingement signs

Treatment of RTC Tears
• P.T. role - to restore ROM pre-op, not “avoid surgery” • Small tears tend to become large tears • Large tears difficult/impossible to repair
» high rate of complications

SLAP Diagnosis
• History
» anterior shoulder pain
» “rotator cuff symptoms”
• Examination
» O’Brien’s sign
» resistance in humeral adduction/flexion/IR
» weakness on rotator cuff testing

Treatment of SLAP Lesions
• MRI - can be very helpful in ddx • Rx: Arthroscopic repair for persistent pain/weakness

Biceps Rupture
• Proximal - long head of biceps at biceps groove or glenoid attachment
• Distal - biceps tuberosity at elbow

Treatment of Biceps Ruptures
• Hx: “I felt a pop/tear in my arm”
• PE: “Popeye” deformity; loss of elbow flexion / supination strength; tenderness
• Early surgical repair for distal ruptures
• Proximal repair - controversial; ? rehab alone
• If surgery is needed, “the earlier, the better”

Shoulder: Fractures
• Clavicle
• Greater tuberosity
• Proximal humerus
• Physeal (children, especially throwers)

Case #6
• 72 y.o. man • pain • limited ROM • getting worse • can’t sleep

Glenohumeral Arthritis
• Shoulder is typically not a “weight-bearing joint”
• Less common than in hip or knee • Dx:
» crepitus on ROM; limited ROM • Need true AP X-ray of
glenohumeral joint » “Graci view”

Glenohumeral Arthritis
• Mild DJD - NSAID’s, preserve ROM
• Mod DJD - ? Indication for arthroscopy
• Severe DJD - total shoulder arthroplasty
» TSA indicated for pain, not necessarily ROM

Key Points
• 1) Shoulder pain is best diagnosed by using a specific history and physical examination corresponding to common shoulder disorders.
• 2) Appropriate use of advanced imaging can help to direct referral for specialist consultation and surgery.
