The Young Athlete Kevin Latz, MD Center for Sports Medicine
Topics To Be Discussed • Shoulder anatomy • Physical examination • Common injuries encountered in sports • Return to play guidelines
Shoulder Anatomy • Glenohumeral joint • Acromioclavicular joint (AC) • Sternoclavicular joint • Scapulothoracic joint
Glenohumeral Bony Anatomy • Humerus • 19 degrees retroversion • Blood supply anterolateral branch of anterior circumflex artery • Head is 6 mm above greater tuberosity • Glenoid • Pear shaped • 2 degrees retroversion
Glenohumeral Joint -Stabilizers Dynamic (Rotator cuff) Static (ligamentous) Superior Middle INFERIOR (anterior/posterior) Infraspinatus Supraspinatus Subscapularis Teres Minor
Physical Examination • Inspection • Palpation • Strength testing • Provocative Testing
Provocative Testing • Apprehension/Crank • Shift/Load
Common Injuries Encountered • Glenohumeral instability • Acromioclavicular injuries (separation) • Sternoclavicular injuries (dislocation) • Clavicle fractures
Glenohumeral Instability • Traumatic/atraumatic • Dislocation/subluxation • Direction • Acute/recurrent • TUBS/AMBRI
Traumatic Instability • Anterior (95+%) • Risk of recurrence • Bankart lesion (ALPSA) • Hill-Sachs lesion • Humeral sided capsule tear (HAGL) • Axillary nerve injury 15%
Traumatic Instability Controversies • Surgical management of first time dislocators • Open/Arthroscopic • Position of immobilization • Necessity of identification of bone defect not controversial
Traumatic Instability • Management of in season athlete
A-C Separation • Fibrocarilaginous disc • Ligaments • AC joint capsule • Coroclavicular ligaments (conoid,trapazoid)
A-C Separation Classification • Rockwood based on degree/direction of displacement
Management of AC Separations • Non operative mgmt of types 1 and 2 • Operative mgmt of types 4-6 • Lack of consensus for mgmt of type 3 (dominant arm overhead throwing athlete) • Scapular dyskinesia
AC Joint Injuries • Management of the in season athlete • Full range of motion • Full strength • +/- Pain free • 3-6 weeks
Sternoclavicular Injuries • Unusual injury • Classified by direction • Physeal fx/dislocation • Atypical anatomy –ossifies 18, fuses 20-25 • Posterior capsule provides instability
Sternoclavicular Injuries - Anterior • Most common • Associated with sports • Recurrence • Non operative mgmt • Bae et al JPO
Sternoclavicular Injuries -Posterior • Associated with dysphagia/dysphonia • Compromise of vascular structures • Closed reduction (acute) • Surgical mgmt with CTS
Sternoclavicular Injuries • Management of the in season athlete • Anterior – full painless range of motion • Posterior – no guidelines
Clavicle Fractures • Common Injuries • Classified by 1/3s • Middle third injuries most common • Lateral fractures confused with AC joint injuries • Operative mgmt is controversial
Clavicle Fractures – Operative Mgmt • Dominant arm, overhead throwing athlete • 1.5 cm shortening
Clavicle Fractures • Management of the in season athlete • Operative mgmt – benign incision, full painless range of motion • Non operative mgmt – full painless range of motion, callous on radiographs
