Rotator Cuff Tear Involve one or four muscles Supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis Supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor share a common tendinous insertion on the greater tubercle of the humerus Shoulder Dislocation Normal Dislocated Dislocation Bone displaced from position Damage to joint (synovial) capsule and ligaments between bones, muscles and tendons could tear Signs: deformed joints, painful to move or touch, joint is unusable Shoulder Dislocation Humerus “pops out” of the glenoid fossa Usually a result of a hit or fall resulting in a tear to the glenohumeral ligament and joint capsule Treatment should be done by a professional Injury to the brachial plexus (vital nerves) and blood vessels if not done properly Shoulder Dislocation Inferior Dislocation Anterior Dislocation Separation Bones held by ligaments tear or separate from each other Shoulder separation Tearing of acromioclavicular ligament union of clavicle to acromion) Result from falls directly on shoulder (contact from another player or tumble on shoulder) Shoulder Separation Shoulder separations are classified as either 1st (mild), 2nd (moderate), or 3rd (severe) degree sprains. A 3rd degree AC joint sprain is the most severe with the result being what is termed a “stair step” deformity. This is when the end of the clavicle appears elevated because the ligament connecting the bones is completely torn. Torn Cartilage Cartilage is avascular Takes time to heal Often use arthroscopy: surgical procedure where incision made to allow a small fibre optic camera in to assess damage Shin splints Overuse without adequate recovery Pain along medial or lateral side of tibia along shaft Caused by tearing of interosseous membrane (between tibia and fibula) or periosteum (lining of bone) Causes: change in training regimen (frequency, duration or intensity), training surface (hard), poor shoes Can develop
