A 66-year-old male presents with a three-month history of increasing right shoulder pain. He denies any trauma or prior shoulder problems, and has good rotator cuff strength. His medical history is significant for Crohn's disease which is controlled medically with prednisone therapy during flares. A current MRI image of his shoulder is shown in Figure A. What is the most likely diagnosis?
Tx according stage?
4. Osteonecrosis
The atraumatic lesion shown in Figure A is most consistent with osteonecrosis (also known as avascular necrosis, or AVN). Initial MRI findings of AVN include decreased signal intensity in the subchondral region on both T1- and T2-weighted images, suggesting edema in early disease. In the shoulder, this is most commonly associated with the chronic use of corticosteroids, such as prednisone.

A patient with shoulder pain and weakness has an MRI showing a cyst in the suprascapular notch. Which of the following muscles is most likely to show weakness?
A patient with shoulder pain and weakness has an MRI showing a cyst in the suprascapular notch. Which of the following muscles is most likely to show weakness?
The suprascapular notch is proximal to the point where the suprascapular nerve innervates both the supraspinatus and the infraspinatus, therefore compression would cause weakness of both.
The suprascapular notch is proximal to the point where the suprascapular nerve innervates both the supraspinatus and the infraspinatus, therefore compression would cause weakness of both.
A 21-year-old collegiate volleyball player is noted to have weakness in external rotation and isolated atrophy of the infraspinatus on physical examination as seen in Figure A. An axial MRI image is shown in Figure B. This clinical condition is most likely caused by compression of the
The clinical presentation is consistent for a suprascapular neuropathy caused by compression of the suprascapular nerve by a cyst in the spinoglenoid notch. The suprascapular nerve arises from the upper trunk of the brachial plexus with contributions from C5-6. It travels through the suprascapular notch of the scapula where it gives motor branches to the supraspinatus then around the spinoglenoid notch where it innervates the infraspinatus.
A patient is scheduled to undergo arthroscopy for a SLAP tear of his shoulder. Based on the MRI shown in Figure A, what additional physical exam finding is the patient likely to display?
A patient is scheduled to undergo arthroscopy for a SLAP tear of his shoulder. Based on the MRI shown in Figure A, what additional physical exam finding is the patient likely to display?
Figure A shows a cyst in the spinoglenoid notch, where it may impinge on the suprascapular nerve as it travels around the glenoid and under the spine of the scapula on its way to innervate the infraspinatus muscle. Prolonged impingement on the suprascapular nerve by a spinoglenoid cyst can result in atrophy of the infraspinatus muscles. This would show up as weakness in external rotation on exam. These cysts are associated with SLAP lesions and per literature are formed by a one-way valve effect, where synovial fluid can exit the joint into the cyst but not drain spontaneously
A 25-year-old volleyball player has recurrent right shoulder pain. On exam she has right shoulder weakness to external rotation with her arm at her side and atrophy below the scapular spine. There is no external rotation lag sign. Jobe drop arm and Hornblowers tests are negative. The O'Brien's test is positive. What will most likely be found on MRI of her shoulder?
This is a classic case of suprascapular nerve impingment at the spinoglenoid notch, likely from a cyst associated with a posterior SLAP tear. Compression of the suprascapular nerve at the spinoglenoid notch causes isolated infraspinatus weakness while compression at the suprascapular notch would affect both the supraspinatus and infraspinatus. A posterior SLAP tear is suspected with a positive O'Brien's active compression test.

Which of the following should be avoided in early rehabilitation following posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction?
Which of the following should be avoided in early rehabilitation following posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction?
Prone hamstring curls
Resisted hamstring strengthening exercises (ex. hamstring curls) are generally avoided in the early phase of rehabilitation following PCL reconstruction - this is because the hamstrings create a posterior pull on the tibia which increases stress on the graft.

Kaufman et al studied the joint reactive forces during isokinetic exercises. They found that posterior shear forces exist during the flexion portion of isokinetic exercise and during extension exercises at knee joint angles greater than 40 degrees. The maximum posterior shear force was 1.7 body weight.
A 23-year-old collegiate soccer player sustained a right knee injury 6 months ago. He has been treated with rest and rehabilitation but is unable to play at his previous level due to his knee "giving way." Physical exam reveals 10° varus alignment when standing and a varus thrust with walking. Strength is full compared to the other side. Ligamentous exam reveals a stable ACL and MCL, but opens to a varus stress and a 3+ posterior drawer and positive dial test at both 30° and 90° degrees of flexion. What is the best treatment option to allow this patient to return to competitive athletic activity?
High tibial osteotomy to increase tibial slope and correct varus malalignment; reconstruction of the PCL & PLC.
The 3+ posterior drawer indicates the PCL injury while the opening to varus stress indicates injury to the lateral collateral ligament (a component of the PLC). In addition, this patient has a positive dial test at both 30° (PLC tear) and 90° (PLC and PCL tear) degrees of flexion
Which of the following rehabilitation principles is true regarding non-operative treatment of a grade II PCL tear
Which of the following rehabilitation principles is true regarding non-operative treatment of a grade II PCL tear
Quadriceps strengthening and prone range of motion should begin as tolerated
Range of motion is typically initiated early. Flexion may be done in a prone position to limit posterior sag. While quadriceps strengthening is essential, resisted hamstring exercises are generally avoided initially because they pull the tibia in a relatively posterior position.
At what angle of knee flexion should the graft be tensioned at during posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction with a single bundle graft?
At what angle of knee flexion should the graft be tensioned at during posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction with a single bundle graft?
For single bundle reconstructions, the PCL is usually tensioned in flexion and the ACL is tensioned in more extension.
Strengthening of what muscle group most effectively counteracts the deficit seen with an incompetent PCL?
Strengthening of what muscle group most effectively counteracts the deficit seen with an incompetent PCL?
The primary function of the PCL complex is to restrict posterior tibial translation. After acute PCL rupture or PCL reconstruction, resisted hamstring strengthening is avoided as it pulls the tibia posteriorly. Therefore, therapy should focus on quadriceps strengthening which pulls the tibia anteriorly.
A football player sustains an isolated posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tear. Which of the following mechanisms is most likely to have caused this injury?
A football player sustains an isolated posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tear. Which of the following mechanisms is most likely to have caused this injury?
Overall the most common mechanism of PCL injury is a direct blow to the proximal aspect of the tibia. The most common mechanism of PCL injury in athletes is a fall onto the flexed knee with the foot in plantarflexion, which places a posterior forces on the tibia and leads to rupture of the PCL.
Janousek found similar results showing that MVA was more likely to result in multi-ligament injuries, while a fall on the knee with the foot plantarflexed is most likely to result in an isolated PCL injury in athletic activities.
Traffic accidents (45%) and athletic injuries (40%) were the most common causes. The most common injury mechanisms were dashboard injuries (35%) and falls on the flexed knee with the foot in plantarflexion (24%).
A 35-year-old construction worker presents with medial-sided knee pain. He has no instability complaints but at age 18, he sustained a complete PCL injury that was treated non-operatively. A radiograph is shown in Figure A. What surgical treatment is the best option given his age and occupation?
Medial opening wedge osteotomy of the proximal tibia
The radiographs show a knee with significant medial compartment narrowing. A frequently tested fact is that wear associated with chronic PCL instability occurs most commonly in the patellofemoral joint and the medial compartment of the knee.
but the opening wedge tends to increase posterior tibial slope which is helpful in PCL-deficient knees.
cruciate ligaments are required for the insertion of a unicompartmental knee replacement. Isolated PCL reconstruction would not be recommended as he already has arthritis and cruciate reconstruction in a mal-algined knee is at increased risk of failure.
A 35-year-old male sustained an isolated PCL injury over 5 years ago which was treated non-operatively. If his follow-up radiographs show degenerative changes related to his PCL-deficiency, the changes are likely to be present in which of the following knee compartments?
A PCL deficient knee has an increased risk of early onset of degenerative changes in the medial and patellofemoral compartments.
A PCL deficient knee has an increased risk of early onset of degenerative changes in the medial and patellofemoral compartments.

Which of the following statements regarding propionibacterium acnes infections after shoulder arthroplasty is incorrect?
Which of the following statements regarding propionibacterium acnes infections after shoulder arthroplasty is incorrect?
Surgeons need to be aware that P. acnes is a skin bacteria that is responsible for shoulder infections that often have a subtle presentation. Many of the traditional signs of infection such as fever, erythema and severe pain are often not present.
In fact, none of their patients presented with fevers. Initial 3 day cultures were often negative and the mean time to a positive culture was 9 days.
During a total shoulder arthoplasty (TSA), which of the following technical maneuvers would most likely place the rotator cuff tendons at risk of injury?
During a total shoulder arthoplasty (TSA), which of the following technical maneuvers would most likely place the rotator cuff tendons at risk of injury?
Excessive bone removal with the humeral neck osteotomy
The rotator cuff tendons can be inadvertantly cut or detached during a TSA if the head cut is made either too distally or in excessive retroversion.
A head cut in 30 degrees of retroversion is normal
Excessive inclination may take too much medial bone, but if appropriately placed, would not risk injuring the rotator cuff insertion.
A 65 year-old man has progressive debilitating pain and crepitus in his shoulder. Active forward elevation is 120 degrees and external rotation strength is good. Radiograph and CT scan are shown in Figures A and B. Which treatment will likely give him the best outcome in 3 years.
The patient has advanced glenohumeral arthritis with a functioning rotator cuff and adequate glenoid bone stock for immediate glenoid component implantation.
A total shoulder replacement will give the patient the best chance at better outcomes as observed in the cited studies by Gartsman and Bryant when compared to hemiarthroplasty alone for glenohumeral arthritis.

A reverse total shoulder would be an appropriate option for a patient with cuff tear arthropathy.

Hemiarthroplasties have been shown to have inferior outcomes to TSA’s for glenoihumeral arthritis due to painful articulation of the humeral component on arthritic glenoid.

Capsular release would aid a frozen shoulder.
A 62-year-old man undergoes a total shoulder arthroplasty for osteoarthritis. He accidently uses his operative arm to rise from a chair 3 weeks after surgery and thereafter complains of anterior shoulder pain. Radiographs are significant for anterior dislocation of the prosthesis. What is the most likely mechanism for this complication?
The primary restriction after total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is passive external rotation, as well as active internal rotation, to protect the subscapularis repair. 

This patient fired his subscapularis rising from the chair.

The placement of a standard all-polyethylene glenoid component for shoulder arthroplasty is contraindicated in which of the following scenarios?
The placement of a standard all-polyethylene glenoid component for shoulder arthroplasty is contraindicated in which of the following scenarios?
If a patient has an irreparable rotator cuff tear, they will have abnormal mechanics and often develop degenerative changes referred to as rotator cuff arthropathy. The abnormal mechanics will persist even after standard total shoulder arthoplasty components are placed, with the head levering on the superior glenoid (the "rocking horse” phenomenon) which may loosen the glenoid component.

In this situation, a hemiarthroplasty or a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty would be preferrable
During the initial rehabilitation phase following total shoulder arthroplasty through a delto-pectoral approach, motion and strengthening are typically restricted because of which factor?
During the initial rehabilitation phase following total shoulder arthroplasty through a delto-pectoral approach, motion and strengthening are typically restricted because of which factor?
Protect the subscapularis tendon

A 75-year-old right-hand dominant female has persistent right shoulder pain for the past 5 years. An axial CT scan is shown in the Figure A. If a total shoulder arthroplasty is planned, what other procedure must be performed based on this patient's imaging?
The patient is being considered for total shoulder arthroplasty, but the axial CT scan demonstrates significant glenoid retroversion and loss of glenoid bone stock. This patient is at risk for glenoid component failure because of significant bone loss. Not resurfacing the glenoid and performing a hemiarthroplasty is an option.
