Shoulder Exam I08:57

Shoulder Exam I

51.1K
Source: Robert E. Sallis, MD. Kaiser Permanente, Fontana, California, USA
Examination of the shoulder can be complex, because it actually consists of four separate joints: are the glenohumeral (GH) joint, the acromioclavicular (AC) joint, the sternoclavicular joint, and the scapulothoracic joint. The GH joint is primarily responsible for shoulder motion and is the most mobile joint in the body. It has been likened to a golf ball sitting on a tee and is prone to instability. It is held in place...

Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

43.8K
Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is indicated for the treatment of conditions that cannot be treated with conventional arthroplasty or other procedures. These primarily include degenerative and incapacitating conditions with irreparable rotator cuff and loss of the normal biomechanical coupling of the shoulder.

Using Point of Care Ultrasound to Augment Acquisition of Physical Exam Skills: Knee and Shoulder09:51

Using Point of Care Ultrasound to Augment Acquisition of Physical Exam Skills: Knee and Shoulder

3.2K
Source: Joseph H. Donroe, Rachel Liu; Yale School of Medicine, USA
Point of Care Ultrasound or POCUS is easy to use, has enhanced mobility due to the smaller equipment needed, and may be carried out in a variety of settings. It is also far safer and cheaper than imaging techniques like computer tomography.
POCUS can be helpful when certain physical exam findings are difficult to appreciate by palpation, percussion, or auscultation and can facilitate learning elements of the cardiac, pulmonary,...

Intra-articular Shoulder Injection for Reduction Following Shoulder Dislocation08:30

Intra-articular Shoulder Injection for Reduction Following Shoulder Dislocation

31.2K
Source: Rachel Liu, BAO, MBBCh, Emergency Medicine, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut, USA
The anterior shoulder dislocation is one of the most common joint dislocations seen in emergency settings. In anterior shoulder dislocation, the humeral head is displaced out of the glenohumeral joint in front of the scapular glenoid, resulting in a loss of the articulation between the arm and the rest of the shoulder. This can be caused by a fall onto an abducted, extended, and externally...

Muscles of the Shoulder01:23

Muscles of the Shoulder

9.0K
The muscles surrounding the shoulder girdle, including the clavicle and scapula, primarily stabilize the scapula. This stable base allows other muscles to move the humerus effectively. Scapular movements often mirror those of the humerus and extend its range of motion. For instance, raising the arm above the head would not be feasible without simultaneous upward rotation of the scapula.
Anterior Thoracic Muscles
The anterior thoracic muscles include the serratus anterior, subclavius, and...
