  1. Shoulder Labral Tear Algorithm Rick Hill, Sarah Jarvis Mallory Mahoney, Madeline McCann Lauren Mulsow

  2. Anatomy/ Biomechanics • Glenohumeral joint • Ball and Socket Joint • Labrum • Deepens glenoid • Increases Stability https://www.google.com/search?q=glenoid+labrum&client=firefox-a&hs=iTb&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=xiV1UauAGafP2QWIn4H4CQ&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAQ&biw=1525&bih=619#imgrc=yI7VaEG1zjuTaM%3A%3B1f0zuB-p1xsv9M%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fdc169.4shared.com%252Fimg%252FzwFqk3fW%252Fpreview_html_4359dc90.png%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fdc169.4shared.com%252Fimg%252FzwFqk3fW%252Fpreview.html%3B312%3B292

  3. Injury • SLAP lesion • Superior labral • Anterior to Posterior • Bankart lesion • Inferior labral http://www.myerssportsmedicine.com/art/slap-lesion-bankart-tear.gif

  4. Mechanism of Injury • Macro Trauma • Fall on Out Stretched Hand • Direct blow • Sudden pull • Micro Trauma • Repetitive overuse injury

  5. Differential Diagnosis • Glenohumeral instability • Rotator Cuff Pathology • Shoulder impingement

  6. Risk Factors • Participation in Sports • Micro-trauma secondary to shear force directed at the glenoid and labrum • Trauma • Force translating the humeral head relative to the glenoid • Anterior / Posterior Shoulder Instability • Increased risk secondary to increased translation of humeral head • Glenoid Dysplasia • A bone deficiency of the posteroinferiorglenoid rim and hypertrophy of surrounding cartilage can increase risk of tear from shear forces

  7. Symptoms • Catching, clicking, locking, popping, grinding • Decreased ROM • Loss of strength • Ache • Pain with overhead activities • Pain with axial loading • Feeling of instability (dislocation/subluxation)

  8. History: • Young OH athlete (throwing injury) • compressive or distraction force on the shoulder • fall onto outstretched hand or elbow w/GH jt adducted and extended “traumatic injury that involves substantial forces on the GH joint” • Symptoms: • catching, clicking, popping , locking, grinding • deep shoulder pain • pain w/OH activity • pain w/axial loading • sense of instability • decreased ROM • decreased MMT Instability (rule out) - Apprehension Test - Apprehension/Relocation Test • Impingement (rule out) • Hawkins-Kennedy • Neer • Horizontal Adduction • Yocum • RTC (rule out) • Empty can • Drop sign • Painful arc • ER Lag sign • Labral (rule in): • Biceps Load Test I • Biceps Load Test II • Internal Rotation Resistance Test • Kim test • Jerk test

  9. Take Home Message • When examining a patient with suspected labral tear it is important to understand the anatomy and biomechanics of the shoulder as well as associated risk factors and mechanisms of injury. • Knowledge of this information, in combination with the patient profile will help to determine the direction to take upon objective exam of the patient. • This algorithm can be used to test applicable hypotheses after the subjective exam and will help to guide a thorough yet efficient objective exam.
