Warning... Narrow Shoulder Ahead
This test assesses subscapularis function by having the patient lift the dorsum of their hand away from the lower spine.
Lift-off Test (Gerber)
This nerve can be identified at the interval between the brachialis and brachioradialis during an approach to the distal humerus.
Radial Nerve
This labral lesion is classically associated with traumatic anterior shoulder instability.
Bankart Lesion
This classification describes glenoid morphology and posterior wear in primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis
Walch Classification
This classification describes proximal humerus fractures based on displacement of four major segments.
Neer Classification
This humeral head defect results from impaction against the posterior glenoid during a posterior dislocation.
Reverse Hill Sachs
Anconeus and ECU
This concept combines glenoid bone loss with the Hill-Sachs interval to predict engagement and failure of isolated bankart repair.
On Track / Off Track
This complication of reverse TSA results from repetitive contact between the humeral poly or cup and the inferior scapular neck.
Scapular Notching
This cutaneous nerve can be tracked and followed to safely identify the radial nerve during a posterior approach to the humerus.
Posterior Antebrachial Cutaneous Nerve
This radiographic classification stages cuff tear arthropathy according to the acromiohumeral interval, acetabulization, and glenohumeral degeneration.
Hamada Classification
This structure's latin name on the ulna is a critical insertion point for the most important lateral stabilizer of the elbow.
Crista Supinatoris
This structure is the primary restraint to valgus stress from 20-120 degrees of elbow flexion.
Anterior Bundle of the UCL
These vessels are often encountered at the inferior aspect of the subscapularis when performing a deltopectoral approach.
Anterior Humeral Circumflex
This radial head fracture classification ranges from non-displaced to elbow fracture/dislocation.
Mason Classification
These two tendon transfers are considered for a younger patient with an irreperable posterosuperior cuff tear with preserved subscapularis.
Lower Trapezius / Latissimus Dorsi
This three word pathologic process refers to the repetitive stress to the elbow that produces posteromedial olecranon impingement in throwing athletes.
Valgus Extension Overload
This ligamentous complex of the elbow is under highest tension and strain during supination of the elbow.
Lateral Collateral Ligamentous Complex
This type of elbow arthroplasty relies on intact soft-tissue envelope and collateral ligaments for stability.
Unlinked
These three injuries constitute the "terrible triad" of the elbow.
Dislocation, Radial head Fracture, Coronoid Fracture
This structure runs through the triangular space just inferior to the teres minor muscle belly.
Circumflex Scapular Artery
Behind palmaris longus, this autograft choice is the second most common option for reconstruction of the elbow UCL (Tommy John).
Gracilis
Contrary to TUBS, this acronym and its meaning refers to a patient with laxity in many planes with no associated trauma.
AMBRI (Atraumatic, Multidirectional, Bilateral, Rehabilitation, Inferior Capsular Shift)
In higher-demand patients with a linked semi-constrained total elbow arthroplasty, wear of this replaceable polyethylene component can cause pain, mechanical symptoms, and laxity despite well-fixed stems.
Bushings
These two distances in cm refer to the insertion points of the trapezoid and conoid ligaments from the AC joint, respectively (we will accept within 0.5cm of each)
1.5 cm and 3.0 cm
