Management of the throwing shoulder: cuff, labrum and internal impingement.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Repetitive throwing or other overhead activity places great stress on the shoulder. As a result, the shoulder is a common site of injury in athletes. Addressing throwing-related injuries requires an understanding of throwing biomechanics and pathology. Nonoperative treatment is directed at restoring strength, flexibility, and neuromuscular control to the entire kinetic chain. Surgery is indicated when nonoperative treatment fails, and is directed at correcting labral, capsular, and rotator cuff pathology.

Posterior capsular contracture of the shoulder.
Posterior capsular contracture is a common cause of shoulder pain in which the patient presents with restricted internal rotation and reproduction of pain. Increased anterosuperior translation of the humeral head occurs with forward flexion and can mimic the pain reported with impingement syndrome; however, the patient with impingement syndrome presents with normal range of motion. Initial mana...
متن کاملSymptomatic internal impingement of the shoulder in overhead athletes.
The term "internal impingement" describes the normal physiological contact that occurs between the posterosuperior glenoid and the greater tuberosity in positions of hyperabduction and external rotation. This physiological contact can become symptomatic when repeated overhead motion results in partial articular-sided posterosuperior rotator cuff tears and lesions of the posterosuperior glenoid ...
متن کاملRotator Cuff Tears in Athletes: Part II. Conservative Management – American Mind
Rotator cuff tears are common injuries in athletes and may occur as a result of acute trauma (such as a fall onto an outstretched arm) or, more commonly, as a result of chronic overuse with repetitive overhead activity. While traumatic conditions are generally treated surgically, chronic overuse injuries are more often treated using a conservative approach. Overuse injuries of the shoulder are ...
متن کاملInternal Impingement of the Shoulder Internal Impingement of the Shoulder
Objective: To review internal impingement of the shoulder. Design: Review article. Anatomic & Biomechanical Factors: Internal impingement is typically understood to be the impingement of the cuff on the posterior-superior labrum, with shoulder abduction and external rotation, a position seen in overhead athletes. While pinching of the cuff on the posterior labrum can be seen in normal subjects,...
متن کاملEvaluation and treatment of internal impingement of the shoulder in overhead athletes
One of the most common pathologic processes seen in overhead throwing athletes is posterior shoulder pain resulting from internal impingement. "Internal impingement" is a term used to describe a constellation of symptoms which result from the greater tuberosity of the humerus and the articular surface of the rotator cuff abutting the posterosuperior glenoid when the shoulder is in an abducted a...
