#AC Injury, type 1 (see above)
#Glenohumeral Instability
##-subluxation (separation) or dislocation (now reduced)
##-PE: pt holds arm close to body with unaffected hand
##Rx:  F/U ortho
#Rotator Cuff
##Injury: 90% chronic arms overhead
##Diag:
###result of extreme overuse in young adults (e.g. pitchers) or minor trauma in older adults
###sudden "pop" while lifting overhead
###lateral pain
###worse at night
###abduct arm pain after 20deg
###relief of pain w/ lido inject
###(pain free weakness = full tear)
##PE: -loss of active BUT NOT passive ROM (due to pain)
###-positive impingement signs
###-weakness with drop arm test
##Rx:  Acute --> sling, PT,  ortho f/u
###Chronic --> PT, ortho
###Next: MRI, surgery for younger pts with big tear, rehab
###PT:  arm dangle at side, circle 5-10wt
 
===Biceps Tendon Rupture===
#bulge in distal humerus (Popeye muscle), usually result of injury
