You are in the emergency room when a student is brought in with a shoulder injury sustained while playing touch football. In comparing the symmetry of his two shoulders, you notice a marked elevation of the distal end of his clavicle with respect to the acromion on the injured side. X-ray exam reveals a grade III shoulder separation. In order for this to have occurred, which ligament must be torn?coracoacromialcoracoclavicularcostoclavicularsuperior glenohumeraltransverse humeral

A college football player receiver was tackled immediately after catching a pass. He was pushed to the ground quite forcefully which caused him to suffer a separated shoulder injury. Which two structures have become separated resulting in much pain when he abducts his shoulder?Multiple ChoiceThe acromion process and the coracoid processThe glenoid cavity and the head of the radiusThe acromion process and the clavicleThe coracoid process and the clavicle

It was determined that a football player tore his coracoclavicular ligament. This is an example of a: Pulled elbow Rotator cuff tear Separated shoulder Dislocated shoulder Colles' fracture

A young mother was playing with her 3-year-old son at the park. She grabbed her son’s outstretched arms and began to twirl him around in a circle until she heard a scream of pain from her son. She noticed that his elbow was deformed and that he could no longer straighten his arm. She rushed him to the doctor’s office where she was informed that the head of his radius had “popped” out. Which ligament is responsible for holding the head of the radius in place?Multiple ChoiceThe ulnar (medial) collateral ligamentThe radiocarpal ligamentThe anular ligamentThe glenohumeral ligament

A young female patient was taken to the operative suite and was placed under appropriate anesthesia. She has been suffering from pain and a potential rotator cuff tear of the right shoulder. The right arm was sterilely draped and prepped. Arthroscopic portals were created anteriorly-posteriorly. The joint line was carefully examined. The biceps insertion was noted to be normal. The middle and inferior glenohumeral ligaments were visualized and noted to be normal. The undersurface of the rotator cuff was clearly visualized and also noted to be normal. There was a large anterior spur formation. The burr was introduced through a lateral portal and the anterior lip of the acromion was resected. The undersurface of the clavicle was noted to be quite prominent and part of the impinging process. There was intense bursitis and a bursectomy was performed, allowing for acromial decompression and release. Spurs were debrided from the distal clavicle. All instruments were removed, skin incisions were closed and a dressing was applied. The patient was placed in a sling and returned to the recovery room.
