Upper Extremity Injuries Overview

What is the correct description of Glenohumeral dislocation?

• Head of humerus is out of socket.

• Fall on outstretched hand

• Pain, abnormal bump, movement of clavicle, inability to move arm.

• Most often fractured at its weakest point → distal end.

Which of the following are signs/symptoms of Epicondylitis?

• Crooked finger, bruising, swollen, pain.

• Pain, inability to move shoulder, deformity of shoulder.

• Pain and tenderness of elbow. Lateral pain (tennis elbow), medial pain (little leaguer's/golfer's elbow).

• Pain, instability, loss of ROM.

What is Epicondylitis?

• Shoulder separation

• Pain and tenderness of shoulder

• Inflammation of the tendons surrounding the elbow.

• Fall on outstretched hand

What is a common symptom of rotator cuff injuries?

• Pain with overhead movements.

• Inflammation of the tendons surrounding the elbow.

• Excessive motion beyond the normal range of motion.

• Excessive abduction and external rotation.

What is the recommended treatment for glenohumeral dislocation?

• PRICE, do NOT pop it back in → can cause damage to other structures.

• Most often fractured at its weakest point → distal end.

• AT must pop it back in, PRICE.

• Due to repetitive overhead movements

What is a method for AC joint separation prevention?

• Strength train, proper posture and technique.

• Strength train, wear protective gear.

• Strength train, wear protective equipment.

• Strength training, flexibility exercises.

Term: Impingement syndrome MOI

• Occurs when biceps and supraspinatus become impinged under the acromion.

• Pain with overhead movements.

• Most often fractured at its weakest point → distal end.

• Due to repetitive overhead movements.

Term: Clavicle fracture treatment

• Immobilize with sling, PRICE.

• Strength train, wear protective gear.

• Wear protective gear and use proper technique.

• PRICE, do NOT pop it back in → can cause damage to other structures.

Term: Impingement syndrome prevention

• Warming up, strength train, use proper technique and equipment.

• Strength train, proper posture and technique.

• Strength train, wear protective equipment.

Term: Interphalangeal dislocation

• Dislocated finger.

• PRICE.

• Most often fractured at its weakest point → distal end.
