Supraspinatus Tendon Case Study

3. Partial thickness articular surface tear of the remaining portion of the supraspinatus tendon and infraspinatus tendon and subscapularis tendinopathy. 4. Severe osteoarthritis of the glenohumeral and acromioclavicular joint.

When Lieutenant Charles Scalzo from the NYPD visited Manhattan Orthopedic Care, he quickly became one of our dearest friends.

The claimant was present and was represented by attorney Nancy Flaherty. As you know, this case has previously been established for an injury to the head. Prima facie medical evidence has been found for the neck and post-traumatic syndrome.

Symptoms o Shoulder pain o Pain in the outer side of the elbow o Pain in the inner side of the elbow o Pain in the wrist o Pain at the back of the heel Although in most cases the exact reasoning of tendonitis is unknown, when the cause is known it can be one of two reasons either “overuse” or “overload”. Overuse happens when a particular body motion is repeated too often and overload happens when the level of a certain activity e.g. weightlifting.

The original referral is sent to EHR. It was determined the patient should be outpatient status. The case is discussed with Dr. Levin and he does not agree, therefore this is second PA referral received on 1/16/2017. The patient is a 68-year-old gentleman who had a fall from a standing position. The history is vague, however he details it better with the neurologist.

Rotator Cuff Tendonitis An irritation or inflammation of a tendon in the rotator cuff is called rotator cuff tendonitis. The rotator cuff is comprised of muscles and tendons surrounding the shoulder joint, connecting the humerus (upper arm) to the scapula (shoulder blade). The muscles allow for the shoulder to rotate, and stability to the shoulder are provided by the rotator cuff tendons. When the tendons are injured, it may cause a dull pain in the shoulder, which often gets worse when trying to sleep on the involved side.

The MRI of the left shoulder also revealed a superior labrum anterior to posterior tear, as well as a low grade partial tear of the supraspinatus tendon, but no rotator cuff tear. There were notable degenerative changes. On May 17, 2016, the applicant underwent arthroscopic subacromial decompression and debridement, and possible distal clavicle excision, on the left shoulder.

The surgery is continually successful, around ninety-seven percent of pitchers return to their previous level of success before being injured (Hoffman et al. 1). It is good that the success rate is high, however that leaves three percent that may never get to play at that level again. Research shows that around seventy major league pitchers’ arms have not worked properly since having the surgery(Apstein).

They can be treated through surgery or physical therapy, based on the age of the patient or the severity of the tear. Non-operative treatment usually consists of physical therapy programs that focus on minimizing pain followed by strengthening and establishing motion of the rotator cuff along with the muscle surrounding it. This type of treatment is normally successful for grade I tears, but most likely would not be helpful in a more severe tear. When the tear is more serious, operative treatment is suggested.
