SLAP ( S uperior Labrum Anteriorly and Posteriorly  ) Lesions Compressive loading of the shoulder in the flexed abducted position (e.g. in a fall on the outstretched hand) can damage the superior labrum anteriorly and posteriorly (SLAP). The injury of the superior labrum begins posteriorly and extends anteriorly, stopping before or at the mid-glenoid notch and including the ‘anchor’ of the biceps tendon to the labrum. Four Main Types Are Described: Non-traumatic superior labral Degeneration , usually in older people and often asymptomatic; Avulsion of the superior part of the labrum – the commonest type A ‘ Bucket handle’ tear of the superior labrum; As for type 3 with an extension into the tendon  of long head of biceps. • Further subtypes that include associated lesions have also been described.  Clinical Features There is usually a history...

SOMI Brace

Image
Sternal-Occipital-Mandibular Immobiliser  (SOMI) Brace  Cervico-Thoracic Orthoses (CTOs) provide greater motion restriction from C5-C7 spine from the increased leverage on the person’s body. The upper cervical spine has less motion restriction. CTOs are used in minimally unstable fractures . All CTO’s tend to control flexion better than extension . Parts 1. The SOMI is a rigid, 3-poster CTO that has an padded anterior chest plate extending to the xiphoid process, as well as two padded shoulder extension which hook over tops of the shoulder. 2. From these shoulder extension two Straps which cross in the interscapular region, pass downward and around the chest wall to attach to the lower part of the chest plate. 3. There are three adjustable uprights , which pass upward from the chest plate, two to the padded occipital support and one to the mandibular support. 4. A removable chin piece attaches...

Pavlik Harness

Pavlik harness is a dynamic flexion abduction orthosis used to treat DDH ( Reduction & Maintenance ) in infants up to 6 months of age. Developed by Dr. Arnold Pavlik (C zechoslovakian Orthopaedic Surgeon) in 1944. Spontaneous reduction of dislocated hip is promoted by positioning the hip in flexion while allowing free abduction. (i.e Prevents hip Adduction and Extension ) Parts of Pavlik Harness An adjustable band encircling the lower chest ( Halter - Chest Strap ). To this band are attached pair of shoulder straps which cross posteriorly and  A pair of stirrups which embrace the legs down to the heels.  The stirrups are suspended from the encircling chest band by two adjustable straps - one passing anterior to and the other posterior to the lower limb. Indications:   Infants with DDH & who are younger than six months . Contra-Indications:  Infants with a " hip-click " but a normal physical exa...
