Defining Shoulder Instability

bull Shoulder instability is the inability to maintain

the humeral head in the glenoid fossa

Dislocation the humeral head is forced

completely out of its normal position in the

glenoid fossa

Subluxation the humeral head slips partially out

of glenoid fossa causing symptoms

Laxity partial lost of glenohumeral articulation

without symptoms

Secrets to Stabilization Part 1 27

Circle Concept of the Shoulder

bull Capsuloligamentous restraints act in a ring fashion

bull Translations of the humerus create tension on the same and opposite

sides Therefore translation in one direction may require damage to

restraints on the same and opposite sides of the joint

bull Contra-coup concept is injury can occur to the opposite side of the

injuryLevine et al 2000

Epidemiology of Shoulder Dislocations

Acutebull Approximately 24 out of 100000 are estimated to have acute

shoulder dislocations

bull 4 to 8 of all injuries sustained by active population (Zebas et al 1995)

bull TUBS traumatic unilateral bankart

bull High Risk Factors

Young males (ages 15 to 29 years old)

Dislocations most often occur from sports or recreation

Most frequently seen as a result of a fall

The estimated incident is on the rise(Zacchili amp Owns 2010)

Etiology of Traumatic Shoulder

Dislocationsbull Unidirectional from traumatic event (anterior is the most

common)

Most commonly caused by a fall on an outstretched hand or a sudden forceful motion in the abder position

elbow the other on distal radial wrist

bull Apply medial force to wrist ndash this

translates varus force to the elbow

bull Positive if painful or more lax than

contralateral Secrets to Stabilization Part 1 85

Elbow pathology ndash ligamentous (LCL)bull Movement without stability is usually painful

bull Elbow typically becomes more unstable as it

moves into extension

bull Placing the elbow in 20-30 degrees of flexion

unlocks the olecranon from the humerus

bull Should be rehabilitated in pronation bc the

elbow is more stable from varus forces in

pronation

Secrets to Stabilization Part 1 86

Elbow pathology ndash ligamentous (LCL)

bull Not all tears are repaired sometimes they are left to heal on their own

bull This can lead to chronic instability

bull Ligament repair can occur if surgery is performed within 2-3 weeks of injury

bull Ligament reconstruction is chosen if injury is more than 3 weeks old

bull Palmaris longus is usually used for reconstruction

Rehab PLRI (LCL complex)

bull Flexion and pronation increase the contact between the radial head and capitellum

bull Studies have shown that the LCL deficient elbow is more stable in pronation

bull Shoulder AB and IR increase varus stress to the elbowndashso avoid this position with exercises

bull If both medial and collateral ligaments have been repaired elbow should be splinted in neutral rotation

Customizing Therapy to Patient

Should I incorporate CPM

bull Indicated to prevent post-traumatic stiffness based on rationale ndash Acute bleeding and edema result in

swelling of peri-articular tissues limiting joint motion and uarrrsquoing pain

ndash Moving the joint through its entire range can empirically prevent stiffness and edema

ndash Subacute stage deposition of extracellular matrix and granulation tissue cpm used to accomplish full ROM (1 week to 4 weeks)

Should I Incorporate CPM

bull Phase I

ndash Prevent joint stiffness

ndash Minimize edema

ndash Minimize hydrostatic

joint pressures(OrsquoDriscoll amp Giori 2000)

bull Evidence Controversial

ndash CPM vs no CPM post open

al 2009)

ndash CPM vs no CPM total knee

How do I protect soft tissue structures

bull Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) protection may be required if ligament reattached or involved

bull Protect LCL with the patient supine and placing forearm in pronation during ROM

bull May allow prosup with elbow flexed at 90 at 2 days post-op

Defining Shoulder Instability

bull Shoulder instability is the inability to maintain

the humeral head in the glenoid fossa

Dislocation the humeral head is forced

completely out of its normal position in the

glenoid fossa

Subluxation the humeral head slips partially out

of glenoid fossa causing symptoms

Laxity partial lost of glenohumeral articulation

without symptoms

Circle Concept of the Shoulder

bull Capsuloligamentous restraints act in a ring fashion

bull Translations of the humerus create tension on the same and opposite

sides Therefore translation in one direction may require damage to

restraints on the same and opposite sides of the joint

bull Contra-coup concept is injury can occur to the opposite side of the

injuryLevine et al 2000

Epidemiology of Shoulder Dislocations

Acutebull Approximately 24 out of 100000 are estimated to have acute

shoulder dislocations

bull 4 to 8 of all injuries sustained by active population (Zebas et al 1995)

bull TUBS traumatic unilateral bankart

bull High Risk Factors

Young males (ages 15 to 29 years old)

Dislocations most often occur from sports or recreation

Most frequently seen as a result of a fall

The estimated incident is on the rise(Zacchili amp Owns 2010)

Etiology of Traumatic Shoulder

Dislocationsbull Unidirectional from traumatic event (anterior is the most

common)

Most commonly caused by a fall on an outstretched hand or a sudden forceful motion in the abder position

GENERAL REHAB CONSIDERATIONS

bull Which orthotic limits forearm rotation best

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

Poll Question

Should forearm rotatiion strength and ROM be

phased in gradually as the patient gains strength

Defining Shoulder Instability

bull Shoulder instability is the inability to maintain

the humeral head in the glenoid fossa

Dislocation the humeral head is forced

completely out of its normal position in the

glenoid fossa

Subluxation the humeral head slips partially out

of glenoid fossa causing symptoms

Laxity partial lost of glenohumeral articulation

without symptoms

Circle Concept of the Shoulder

bull Capsuloligamentous restraints act in a ring fashion

bull Translations of the humerus create tension on the same and opposite

sides Therefore translation in one direction may require damage to

restraints on the same and opposite sides of the joint

Rehab PLRI (LCL complex)

bull Flexion and pronation increase the contact between the radial head and capitellum

bull Studies have shown that the LCL deficient elbow is more stable in pronation

bull Shoulder AB and IR increase varus stress to the elbowndashso avoid this position with exercises

bull If both medial and collateral ligaments have been repaired elbow should be splinted in neutral rotation

Customizing Therapy to Patient

Should I incorporate CPM

bull Indicated to prevent post-traumatic stiffness based on rationale ndash Acute bleeding and edema result in

swelling of peri-articular tissues limiting joint motion and uarrrsquoing pain

ndash Moving the joint through its entire range can empirically prevent stiffness and edema

ndash Subacute stage deposition of extracellular matrix and granulation tissue cpm used to accomplish full ROM (1 week to 4 weeks)

Should I Incorporate CPM

bull Phase I

ndash Prevent joint stiffness

ndash Minimize edema

ndash Minimize hydrostatic

joint pressures(OrsquoDriscoll amp Giori 2000)

bull Evidence Controversial

ndash CPM vs no CPM post open

contracture release Lindenhovius et

al 2009)

ndash CPM vs no CPM total knee

arthroplasty (MacDonald et al 2000)

How do I protect soft tissue structures

bull Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) protection may be required if ligament reattached or involved

bull Protect LCL with the patient supine and placing forearm in pronation during ROM

bull May allow prosup with elbow flexed at 90 at 2 days post-op

bull Avoid adduction and internal rotation of the shoulder limiting varus stress (Dunning et al 2001)

Defining Shoulder Instability

bull Shoulder instability is the inability to maintain

the humeral head in the glenoid fossa

Dislocation the humeral head is forced

completely out of its normal position in the

glenoid fossa

Subluxation the humeral head slips partially out

of glenoid fossa causing symptoms

Laxity partial lost of glenohumeral articulation

without symptoms

Circle Concept of the Shoulder

bull Capsuloligamentous restraints act in a ring fashion

bull Translations of the humerus create tension on the same and opposite

sides Therefore translation in one direction may require damage to

restraints on the same and opposite sides of the joint

bull Full activity as tolerated

GENERAL REHAB CONSIDERATIONS

bull Which orthotic limits forearm rotation best

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

Poll Question

Should forearm rotatiion strength and ROM be

phased in gradually as the patient gains strength

Defining Shoulder Instability

bull Shoulder instability is the inability to maintain

the humeral head in the glenoid fossa

Dislocation the humeral head is forced

completely out of its normal position in the

glenoid fossa

Subluxation the humeral head slips partially out

of glenoid fossa causing symptoms

Laxity partial lost of glenohumeral articulation

without symptoms

Circle Concept of the Shoulder

bull Capsuloligamentous restraints act in a ring fashion

bull Translations of the humerus create tension on the same and opposite

sides Therefore translation in one direction may require damage to

restraints on the same and opposite sides of the joint

bull Contra-coup concept is injury can occur to the opposite side of the

injuryLevine et al 2000

Customizing Therapy to Patient

Should I incorporate CPM

bull Indicated to prevent post-traumatic stiffness based on rationale ndash Acute bleeding and edema result in

swelling of peri-articular tissues limiting joint motion and uarrrsquoing pain

ndash Moving the joint through its entire range can empirically prevent stiffness and edema

ndash Subacute stage deposition of extracellular matrix and granulation tissue cpm used to accomplish full ROM (1 week to 4 weeks)

Should I Incorporate CPM

bull Phase I

ndash Prevent joint stiffness

ndash Minimize edema

ndash Minimize hydrostatic

joint pressures(OrsquoDriscoll amp Giori 2000)

bull Evidence Controversial

ndash CPM vs no CPM post open

contracture release Lindenhovius et

al 2009)

ndash CPM vs no CPM total knee

arthroplasty (MacDonald et al 2000)

How do I protect soft tissue structures

bull Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) protection may be required if ligament reattached or involved

bull Protect LCL with the patient supine and placing forearm in pronation during ROM

bull May allow prosup with elbow flexed at 90 at 2 days post-op

bull Avoid adduction and internal rotation of the shoulder limiting varus stress (Dunning et al 2001)

Defining Shoulder Instability

bull Shoulder instability is the inability to maintain

the humeral head in the glenoid fossa

Dislocation the humeral head is forced

completely out of its normal position in the

glenoid fossa

Subluxation the humeral head slips partially out

of glenoid fossa causing symptoms

Laxity partial lost of glenohumeral articulation

without symptoms

Secrets to Stabilization Part 1 27

Circle Concept of the Shoulder

bull Capsuloligamentous restraints act in a ring fashion

bull Translations of the humerus create tension on the same and opposite

sides Therefore translation in one direction may require damage to

restraints on the same and opposite sides of the joint

bull Contra-coup concept is injury can occur to the opposite side of the

injuryLevine et al 2000

Elbow pathology ndash ligamentous (LCL)bull Movement without stability is usually painful

bull Elbow typically becomes more unstable as it

moves into extension

bull Placing the elbow in 20-30 degrees of flexion

unlocks the olecranon from the humerus

bull Should be rehabilitated in pronation bc the

elbow is more stable from varus forces in

pronation

Secrets to Stabilization Part 1 86

Elbow pathology ndash ligamentous (LCL)

bull Not all tears are repaired sometimes they are left to heal on their own

bull This can lead to chronic instability

bull Ligament repair can occur if surgery is performed within 2-3 weeks of injury

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

Poll Question

Should forearm rotatiion strength and ROM be

phased in gradually as the patient gains strength

following a surgical reconstruction of the distal

radial ulnar joint

a Yes

b No

Defining Shoulder Instability

bull Shoulder instability is the inability to maintain

the humeral head in the glenoid fossa

Dislocation the humeral head is forced

completely out of its normal position in the

glenoid fossa

Subluxation the humeral head slips partially out

of glenoid fossa causing symptoms

Laxity partial lost of glenohumeral articulation

without symptoms

Circle Concept of the Shoulder

bull Capsuloligamentous restraints act in a ring fashion

bull Translations of the humerus create tension on the same and opposite

sides Therefore translation in one direction may require damage to

restraints on the same and opposite sides of the joint

bull Contra-coup concept is injury can occur to the opposite side of the

injuryLevine et al 2000

GENERAL REHAB CONSIDERATIONS

bull Which orthotic limits forearm rotation best

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

Defining Shoulder Instability

bull Shoulder instability is the inability to maintain

the humeral head in the glenoid fossa

Dislocation the humeral head is forced

completely out of its normal position in the

glenoid fossa

Subluxation the humeral head slips partially out

of glenoid fossa causing symptoms

Laxity partial lost of glenohumeral articulation

without symptoms

Circle Concept of the Shoulder

bull Capsuloligamentous restraints act in a ring fashion

bull Translations of the humerus create tension on the same and opposite

sides Therefore translation in one direction may require damage to

restraints on the same and opposite sides of the joint

bull Contra-coup concept is injury can occur to the opposite side of the

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

Defining Shoulder Instability

bull Shoulder instability is the inability to maintain

the humeral head in the glenoid fossa

Dislocation the humeral head is forced

completely out of its normal position in the

glenoid fossa

Subluxation the humeral head slips partially out

of glenoid fossa causing symptoms

Laxity partial lost of glenohumeral articulation

without symptoms

Secrets to Stabilization Part 1 27

Circle Concept of the Shoulder

bull Capsuloligamentous restraints act in a ring fashion

bull Translations of the humerus create tension on the same and opposite

sides Therefore translation in one direction may require damage to

restraints on the same and opposite sides of the joint

bull Contra-coup concept is injury can occur to the opposite side of the

injuryLevine et al 2000

Secrets to Stabilization Part 1 107

Radial Head Fractures in Elbow

Trauma

bull Terrible Triadndash Posterior or posterolateral dislocation of ulnohumeral

joint with fractures of the radial head and coronoid process Avulsion of medial collateral ligament (MCL) and lateral collateral ligament (LCL)

ndash Coronoid process provides stabilitybull Buttress against posterior displacement of the ulna and

contributes to varus stability (Budoff 2012)

bull Essex Lopresti radial head fracture rupture of the interosseous membrane (IOM) resulting in forearm instability and proximal migration of the radius

Radial Head Fractures

Internal Fixation or Radial Head

Replacement

bull Fragmentation of less than 3 fragments have improved results with fixation (Ring amp Jupiter 2001)

bull Lateral collateral ligament protection may be required if ligament re-attached or involved reattached after surgery (pronation) at 2 days post-op allow prosup with elbow flexed at 90

Internal Fixationbull Phase I

ndash Early mobilization 3 to 5 days post-opPROM gentle

ndash Posterior elbow orthosis 90deg flexion with forearm

neutral

ndash Regain motion 1 to 3 wks post-op AAROM (flexext

ndash CPM

bull Phase II (4 to 6 wks post-op)

ndash Regain full motion and gradual strengthening

bull Phase III (6 to 12 wks)

ndash Advance strengthening and closed chain exercises

ndash Joint mobilizations

ndash End range strengthening

Radial Head Replacementbull Phase I (Week 1 to 3 post-op)

ndash Early mobilization (orthosis CPM (forearm pronated or neutral) AROM wrist and hand during 1st week

ndash Hinged elbow orthosis worn at all times

ndash Advance elbow and forearm motion exercises Elbow AAROM with gravity assisted extension Position elbow at 90deg flexion during forearm exercises

ndash Consider edema glove for hand

bull Phase II (Week 3-6 post-op)

ndash Begin AAROM prosup PROM elbow stretching to tolerance initiate orthosis to increase flexext if needed advance to AROM forearm rotation and elbow motion

bull Phase III (Week 6-8 post-op)

ndash Discharge hinged orthosis begin isometrics continue

Customizing Therapy to Patient

Should I incorporate CPM

bull Indicated to prevent post-traumatic stiffness based on rationale ndash Acute bleeding and edema result in

swelling of peri-articular tissues limiting joint motion and uarrrsquoing pain

ndash Moving the joint through its entire range can empirically prevent stiffness and edema

ndash Subacute stage deposition of extracellular matrix and granulation tissue cpm used to accomplish full ROM (1 week to 4 weeks)

Should I Incorporate CPM

bull Phase I

ndash Prevent joint stiffness

ndash Minimize edema

ndash Minimize hydrostatic

joint pressures(OrsquoDriscoll amp Giori 2000)

bull Evidence Controversial

ndash CPM vs no CPM post open

contracture release Lindenhovius et

al 2009)

ndash CPM vs no CPM total knee

arthroplasty (MacDonald et al 2000)

How do I protect soft tissue structures

bull Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) protection may be required if ligament reattached or involved

bull Protect LCL with the patient supine and placing forearm in pronation during ROM

bull May allow prosup with elbow flexed at 90 at 2 days post-op

bull Avoid adduction and internal rotation of the shoulder limiting varus stress (Dunning et al 2001)

Phase I (~6 wks) Long arm removeable orthotic with forearm and wrist in neutral Gentle AROM

Phase II (~6 to 8 wks) Removable wrist splint with periodic gentle ROMYOSHIAKI et al 2004 (cuff vs ulnar gutter)

Progressive ROM and gentle strengthening

Phase III (~12 weeks) Gradual return to sport or work as pain is decreased

Injuries to the central region are not amenable to repair due to avascularity

Stabilization

ProliferationRegeneration Phases

bull Gradual return to AROM and gentle PROM at wrist and forearm (gradual progression to end range prosup)

Maturation Phase (6 to 12 weeks)

bull Gentle strengthening and activity as tolerated

bull Full activity as tolerated

GENERAL REHAB CONSIDERATIONS

bull Which orthotic limits forearm rotation best

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

Poll Question

Should forearm rotatiion strength and ROM be

phased in gradually as the patient gains strength

following a surgical reconstruction of the distal

radial ulnar joint

a Yes

b No

bull Elbow typically becomes more unstable as it

moves into extension

bull Placing the elbow in 20-30 degrees of flexion

unlocks the olecranon from the humerus

elbow is more stable from varus forces in

pronation

GENERAL REHAB CONSIDERATIONS

bull Which orthotic limits forearm rotation best

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

GENERAL REHAB CONSIDERATIONS

bull Which orthotic limits forearm rotation best

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

GENERAL REHAB CONSIDERATIONS

bull Which orthotic limits forearm rotation best

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

bull Full activity as tolerated

GENERAL REHAB CONSIDERATIONS

bull Which orthotic limits forearm rotation best

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

bull Gradual return to AROM and gentle PROM at wrist and forearm (gradual progression to end range prosup)

Maturation Phase (6 to 12 weeks)

bull Gentle strengthening and activity as tolerated

bull Full activity as tolerated

GENERAL REHAB CONSIDERATIONS

bull Which orthotic limits forearm rotation best

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

Poll Question

Should forearm rotatiion strength and ROM be

phased in gradually as the patient gains strength

bull Elbow typically becomes more unstable as it

moves into extension

bull Placing the elbow in 20-30 degrees of flexion

Phase I (~6 wks) Long arm removeable orthotic with forearm and wrist in neutral Gentle AROM

Phase II (~6 to 8 wks) Removable wrist splint with periodic gentle ROMYOSHIAKI et al 2004 (cuff vs ulnar gutter)

Progressive ROM and gentle strengthening

Phase III (~12 weeks) Gradual return to sport or work as pain is decreased

Injuries to the central region are not amenable to repair due to avascularity

bull Gradual return to AROM and gentle PROM at wrist and forearm (gradual progression to end range prosup)

Maturation Phase (6 to 12 weeks)

bull Gentle strengthening and activity as tolerated

bull Full activity as tolerated

GENERAL REHAB CONSIDERATIONS

bull Which orthotic limits forearm rotation best

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

Poll Question

Should forearm rotatiion strength and ROM be

phased in gradually as the patient gains strength

bull Examiner places one hand on medial

elbow the other on distal radial wrist

bull Apply medial force to wrist ndash this

translates varus force to the elbow

bull Positive if painful or more lax than

contralateral Secrets to Stabilization Part 1 85

Elbow pathology ndash ligamentous (LCL)bull Movement without stability is usually painful

bull Elbow typically becomes more unstable as it

moves into extension

bull Placing the elbow in 20-30 degrees of flexion

unlocks the olecranon from the humerus

bull Should be rehabilitated in pronation bc the

elbow is more stable from varus forces in

pronation

Secrets to Stabilization Part 1 86

Elbow pathology ndash ligamentous (LCL)

bull Not all tears are repaired sometimes they are left to heal on their own

bull This can lead to chronic instability

bull Ligament repair can occur if surgery is performed within 2-3 weeks of injury

bull Ligament reconstruction is chosen if injury is more than 3 weeks old

bull Palmaris longus is usually used for reconstruction

bull If not repairedhellip

Rehab PLRI (LCL complex)

bull Flexion and pronation increase the contact between the radial head and capitellum

bull Studies have shown that the LCL deficient elbow is more stable in pronation

bull Shoulder AB and IR increase varus stress to the elbowndashso avoid this position with exercises

bull If both medial and collateral ligaments have been repaired elbow should be splinted in neutral rotation

Customizing Therapy to Patient

Should I incorporate CPM

bull Indicated to prevent post-traumatic stiffness based on rationale ndash Acute bleeding and edema result in

swelling of peri-articular tissues limiting joint motion and uarrrsquoing pain

ndash Moving the joint through its entire range can empirically prevent stiffness and edema

ndash Subacute stage deposition of extracellular matrix and granulation tissue cpm used to accomplish full ROM (1 week to 4 weeks)

Should I Incorporate CPM

bull Phase I

ndash Prevent joint stiffness

ndash Minimize edema

ndash Minimize hydrostatic

Elbow pathology ndash ligamentous (LCL)bull Movement without stability is usually painful

bull Elbow typically becomes more unstable as it

moves into extension

bull Placing the elbow in 20-30 degrees of flexion

unlocks the olecranon from the humerus

bull Should be rehabilitated in pronation bc the

elbow is more stable from varus forces in

pronation

Elbow pathology ndash ligamentous (LCL)

bull Not all tears are repaired sometimes they are left to heal on their own

bull This can lead to chronic instability

Secrets to Stabilization Part 1 107

Radial Head Fractures in Elbow

Trauma

bull Terrible Triadndash Posterior or posterolateral dislocation of ulnohumeral

joint with fractures of the radial head and coronoid process Avulsion of medial collateral ligament (MCL) and lateral collateral ligament (LCL)

ndash Coronoid process provides stabilitybull Buttress against posterior displacement of the ulna and

contributes to varus stability (Budoff 2012)

bull Essex Lopresti radial head fracture rupture of the interosseous membrane (IOM) resulting in forearm instability and proximal migration of the radius

Radial Head Fractures

Internal Fixation or Radial Head

Replacement

bull Fragmentation of less than 3 fragments have improved results with fixation (Ring amp Jupiter 2001)

bull Lateral collateral ligament protection may be required if ligament re-attached or involved reattached after surgery (pronation) at 2 days post-op allow prosup with elbow flexed at 90

Customizing Therapy to Patient

Should I incorporate CPM

bull Indicated to prevent post-traumatic stiffness based on rationale ndash Acute bleeding and edema result in

swelling of peri-articular tissues limiting joint motion and uarrrsquoing pain

ndash Moving the joint through its entire range can empirically prevent stiffness and edema

ndash Subacute stage deposition of extracellular matrix and granulation tissue cpm used to accomplish full ROM (1 week to 4 weeks)

Should I Incorporate CPM

bull Phase I

ndash Prevent joint stiffness

ndash Minimize edema

ndash Minimize hydrostatic

joint pressures(OrsquoDriscoll amp Giori 2000)

bull Evidence Controversial

ndash CPM vs no CPM post open

contracture release Lindenhovius et

al 2009)

ndash CPM vs no CPM total knee

arthroplasty (MacDonald et al 2000)

How do I protect soft tissue structures

bull Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) protection may be required if ligament reattached or involved

bull Protect LCL with the patient supine and placing forearm in pronation during ROM

bull May allow prosup with elbow flexed at 90 at 2 days post-op

bull Avoid adduction and internal rotation of the shoulder limiting varus stress (Dunning et al 2001)

bull Elbow typically becomes more unstable as it

moves into extension

bull Placing the elbow in 20-30 degrees of flexion

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

bull Full activity as tolerated

GENERAL REHAB CONSIDERATIONS

bull Which orthotic limits forearm rotation best

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

Poll Question

Should forearm rotatiion strength and ROM be

phased in gradually as the patient gains strength

following a surgical reconstruction of the distal

radial ulnar joint

Elbow pathology ndash ligamentous (LCL)bull Movement without stability is usually painful

bull Elbow typically becomes more unstable as it

moves into extension

bull Placing the elbow in 20-30 degrees of flexion

unlocks the olecranon from the humerus

bull Should be rehabilitated in pronation bc the

elbow is more stable from varus forces in

pronation

Secrets to Stabilization Part 1 86

Elbow pathology ndash ligamentous (LCL)

bull Not all tears are repaired sometimes they are left to heal on their own

bull This can lead to chronic instability

bull Ligament repair can occur if surgery is performed within 2-3 weeks of injury

bull Ligament reconstruction is chosen if injury is more than 3 weeks old

bull Palmaris longus is usually used for reconstruction

bull If not repairedhellip

Rehab PLRI (LCL complex)

bull Flexion and pronation increase the contact between the radial head and capitellum

bull Studies have shown that the LCL deficient elbow is more stable in pronation

bull Shoulder AB and IR increase varus stress to the elbowndashso avoid this position with exercises

bull If both medial and collateral ligaments have been repaired elbow should be splinted in neutral rotation

Customizing Therapy to Patient

Should I incorporate CPM

bull Indicated to prevent post-traumatic stiffness based on rationale ndash Acute bleeding and edema result in

swelling of peri-articular tissues limiting joint motion and uarrrsquoing pain

ndash Moving the joint through its entire range can empirically prevent stiffness and edema

ndash Subacute stage deposition of extracellular matrix and granulation tissue cpm used to accomplish full ROM (1 week to 4 weeks)

Should I Incorporate CPM

bull Phase I

ndash Prevent joint stiffness

ndash Minimize edema

ndash Minimize hydrostatic

joint pressures(OrsquoDriscoll amp Giori 2000)

bull Evidence Controversial

ndash CPM vs no CPM post open

How do I protect soft tissue structures

bull Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) protection may be required if ligament reattached or involved

bull Protect LCL with the patient supine and placing forearm in pronation during ROM

bull May allow prosup with elbow flexed at 90 at 2 days post-op

Which is the following best describes the triangular fibro-cartilage complex

a Redistributes force from the ulna to the radius

b Is highly vascular in the central portion

c Re-distributes 20 of the force from the ulnar carpus to the distal ulna and is contributor to the stability of the distal radioulnar joint

d Clinically presents as radial wrist pain174

Phase I (~6 wks) Long arm removeable orthotic with forearm and wrist in neutral Gentle AROM

Phase II (~6 to 8 wks) Removable wrist splint with periodic gentle ROMYOSHIAKI et al 2004 (cuff vs ulnar gutter)

Progressive ROM and gentle strengthening

Phase III (~12 weeks) Gradual return to sport or work as pain is decreased

Injuries to the central region are not amenable to repair due to avascularity

bull Gradual return to AROM and gentle PROM at wrist and forearm (gradual progression to end range prosup)

Maturation Phase (6 to 12 weeks)

bull Gentle strengthening and activity as tolerated

bull Full activity as tolerated

GENERAL REHAB CONSIDERATIONS

bull Which orthotic limits forearm rotation best

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

Poll Question

Should forearm rotatiion strength and ROM be

phased in gradually as the patient gains strength

following a surgical reconstruction of the distal

radial ulnar joint

a Yes

b No

Elbow pathology ndash ligamentous (LCL)bull Movement without stability is usually painful

bull Elbow typically becomes more unstable as it

moves into extension

bull Placing the elbow in 20-30 degrees of flexion

unlocks the olecranon from the humerus

bull Should be rehabilitated in pronation bc the

elbow is more stable from varus forces in

pronation

Elbow pathology ndash ligamentous (LCL)

bull Not all tears are repaired sometimes they are left to heal on their own

bull This can lead to chronic instability

Customizing Therapy to Patient

Should I incorporate CPM

bull Indicated to prevent post-traumatic stiffness based on rationale ndash Acute bleeding and edema result in

swelling of peri-articular tissues limiting joint motion and uarrrsquoing pain

ndash Moving the joint through its entire range can empirically prevent stiffness and edema

ndash Subacute stage deposition of extracellular matrix and granulation tissue cpm used to accomplish full ROM (1 week to 4 weeks)

Should I Incorporate CPM

bull Phase I

ndash Prevent joint stiffness

ndash Minimize edema

ndash Minimize hydrostatic

joint pressures(OrsquoDriscoll amp Giori 2000)

bull Evidence Controversial

ndash CPM vs no CPM post open

contracture release Lindenhovius et

al 2009)

ndash CPM vs no CPM total knee

How do I protect soft tissue structures

bull Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) protection may be required if ligament reattached or involved

bull Protect LCL with the patient supine and placing forearm in pronation during ROM

bull May allow prosup with elbow flexed at 90 at 2 days post-op

bull Elbow typically becomes more unstable as it

moves into extension

bull Placing the elbow in 20-30 degrees of flexion

Customizing Therapy to Patient

Should I incorporate CPM

bull Indicated to prevent post-traumatic stiffness based on rationale ndash Acute bleeding and edema result in

swelling of peri-articular tissues limiting joint motion and uarrrsquoing pain

ndash Moving the joint through its entire range can empirically prevent stiffness and edema

ndash Subacute stage deposition of extracellular matrix and granulation tissue cpm used to accomplish full ROM (1 week to 4 weeks)

Should I Incorporate CPM

bull Phase I

ndash Prevent joint stiffness

ndash Minimize edema

ndash Minimize hydrostatic

joint pressures(OrsquoDriscoll amp Giori 2000)

bull Evidence Controversial

ndash CPM vs no CPM post open

Elbow pathology ndash ligamentous (LCL)bull Movement without stability is usually painful

bull Elbow typically becomes more unstable as it

moves into extension

bull Placing the elbow in 20-30 degrees of flexion

unlocks the olecranon from the humerus

bull Should be rehabilitated in pronation bc the

elbow is more stable from varus forces in

pronation

Secrets to Stabilization Part 1 86

Elbow pathology ndash ligamentous (LCL)

bull Not all tears are repaired sometimes they are left to heal on their own

bull This can lead to chronic instability

Customizing Therapy to Patient

Should I incorporate CPM

bull Indicated to prevent post-traumatic stiffness based on rationale ndash Acute bleeding and edema result in

swelling of peri-articular tissues limiting joint motion and uarrrsquoing pain

ndash Moving the joint through its entire range can empirically prevent stiffness and edema

ndash Subacute stage deposition of extracellular matrix and granulation tissue cpm used to accomplish full ROM (1 week to 4 weeks)

Should I Incorporate CPM

bull Phase I

ndash Prevent joint stiffness

ndash Minimize edema

ndash Minimize hydrostatic

joint pressures(OrsquoDriscoll amp Giori 2000)

bull Evidence Controversial

ndash CPM vs no CPM post open

How do I protect soft tissue structures

bull Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) protection may be required if ligament reattached or involved

bull Protect LCL with the patient supine and placing forearm in pronation during ROM

bull Full activity as tolerated

GENERAL REHAB CONSIDERATIONS

bull Which orthotic limits forearm rotation best

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

Elbow pathology ndash ligamentous (LCL)bull Movement without stability is usually painful

bull Elbow typically becomes more unstable as it

moves into extension

bull Placing the elbow in 20-30 degrees of flexion

unlocks the olecranon from the humerus

bull Should be rehabilitated in pronation bc the

elbow is more stable from varus forces in

pronation

Secrets to Stabilization Part 1 86

Elbow pathology ndash ligamentous (LCL)

bull Not all tears are repaired sometimes they are left to heal on their own

bull This can lead to chronic instability

bull Ligament repair can occur if surgery is performed within 2-3 weeks of injury

bull Ligament reconstruction is chosen if injury is more than 3 weeks old

bull Palmaris longus is usually used for reconstruction

bull If not repairedhellip

Customizing Therapy to Patient

Should I incorporate CPM

bull Indicated to prevent post-traumatic stiffness based on rationale ndash Acute bleeding and edema result in

swelling of peri-articular tissues limiting joint motion and uarrrsquoing pain

ndash Moving the joint through its entire range can empirically prevent stiffness and edema

ndash Subacute stage deposition of extracellular matrix and granulation tissue cpm used to accomplish full ROM (1 week to 4 weeks)

Should I Incorporate CPM

bull Phase I

ndash Prevent joint stiffness

ndash Minimize edema

ndash Minimize hydrostatic

Elbow pathology ndash ligamentous (LCL)bull Movement without stability is usually painful

bull Elbow typically becomes more unstable as it

moves into extension

bull Placing the elbow in 20-30 degrees of flexion

unlocks the olecranon from the humerus

bull Should be rehabilitated in pronation bc the

elbow is more stable from varus forces in

pronation

Secrets to Stabilization Part 1 86

Elbow pathology ndash ligamentous (LCL)

bull Not all tears are repaired sometimes they are left to heal on their own

bull This can lead to chronic instability

bull Ligament repair can occur if surgery is performed within 2-3 weeks of injury

bull Ligament reconstruction is chosen if injury is more than 3 weeks old

bull Palmaris longus is usually used for reconstruction

bull If not repairedhellip

Rehab PLRI (LCL complex)

bull Flexion and pronation increase the contact between the radial head and capitellum

bull Studies have shown that the LCL deficient elbow is more stable in pronation

bull Shoulder AB and IR increase varus stress to the elbowndashso avoid this position with exercises

bull If both medial and collateral ligaments have been repaired elbow should be splinted in neutral rotation

Customizing Therapy to Patient

Should I incorporate CPM

bull Indicated to prevent post-traumatic stiffness based on rationale ndash Acute bleeding and edema result in

swelling of peri-articular tissues limiting joint motion and uarrrsquoing pain

ndash Moving the joint through its entire range can empirically prevent stiffness and edema

ndash Subacute stage deposition of extracellular matrix and granulation tissue cpm used to accomplish full ROM (1 week to 4 weeks)

Should I Incorporate CPM

bull Phase I

ndash Prevent joint stiffness

ndash Minimize edema

ndash Minimize hydrostatic

joint pressures(OrsquoDriscoll amp Giori 2000)

bull Evidence Controversial

ndash CPM vs no CPM post open

contracture release Lindenhovius et

al 2009)

ndash CPM vs no CPM total knee

arthroplasty (MacDonald et al 2000)

How do I protect soft tissue structures

bull Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) protection may be required if ligament reattached or involved

bull Protect LCL with the patient supine and placing forearm in pronation during ROM

bull May allow prosup with elbow flexed at 90 at 2 days post-op

bull Avoid adduction and internal rotation of the shoulder limiting varus stress (Dunning et al 2001)

bull Which orthotic limits forearm rotation best

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

ELBOW TRAUMA

Secrets to Stabilization Part 1 107

Radial Head Fractures in Elbow

Trauma

bull Terrible Triadndash Posterior or posterolateral dislocation of ulnohumeral

joint with fractures of the radial head and coronoid process Avulsion of medial collateral ligament (MCL) and lateral collateral ligament (LCL)

ndash Coronoid process provides stabilitybull Buttress against posterior displacement of the ulna and

contributes to varus stability (Budoff 2012)

bull Essex Lopresti radial head fracture rupture of the interosseous membrane (IOM) resulting in forearm instability and proximal migration of the radius

37

Radial Head Fractures

Internal Fixation or Radial Head

Replacement

bull Fragmentation of less than 3 fragments have improved results with fixation (Ring amp Jupiter 2001)

bull Lateral collateral ligament protection may be required if ligament re-attached or involved reattached after surgery (pronation) at 2 days post-op allow prosup with elbow flexed at 90

Internal Fixationbull Phase I

ndash Early mobilization 3 to 5 days post-opPROM gentle

ndash Posterior elbow orthosis 90deg flexion with forearm

neutral

ndash Regain motion 1 to 3 wks post-op AAROM (flexext

prosup)

ndash CPM

bull Phase II (4 to 6 wks post-op)

ndash Regain full motion and gradual strengthening

bull Phase III (6 to 12 wks)

ndash Advance strengthening and closed chain exercises

ndash Joint mobilizations

ndash End range strengthening

Radial Head Replacementbull Phase I (Week 1 to 3 post-op)

ndash Early mobilization (orthosis CPM (forearm pronated or neutral) AROM wrist and hand during 1st week

ndash Hinged elbow orthosis worn at all times

ndash Advance elbow and forearm motion exercises Elbow AAROM with gravity assisted extension Position elbow at 90deg flexion during forearm exercises

ndash Consider edema glove for hand

bull Phase II (Week 3-6 post-op)

ndash Begin AAROM prosup PROM elbow stretching to tolerance initiate orthosis to increase flexext if needed advance to AROM forearm rotation and elbow motion

bull Phase III (Week 6-8 post-op)

ndash Discharge hinged orthosis begin isometrics continue

mobilization orthosis

bull Phase IV (Week 8-12 post-op)ndash Light resistance gradually upgrade strengthening

38

Distal Humerus Intra-articular

FracturesFixation Plating (post-op 1 week)

bull Edema control

bull Long arm orthosis alternating between elbow flexion daily and elbow extension nightly

Customizing Therapy to Patient

Should I incorporate CPM

bull Indicated to prevent post-traumatic stiffness based on rationale ndash Acute bleeding and edema result in

swelling of peri-articular tissues limiting joint motion and uarrrsquoing pain

ndash Moving the joint through its entire range can empirically prevent stiffness and edema

ndash Subacute stage deposition of extracellular matrix and granulation tissue cpm used to accomplish full ROM (1 week to 4 weeks)

Should I Incorporate CPM

bull Phase I

ndash Prevent joint stiffness

ndash Minimize edema

ndash Minimize hydrostatic

joint pressures(OrsquoDriscoll amp Giori 2000)

bull Evidence Controversial

ndash CPM vs no CPM post open

contracture release Lindenhovius et

al 2009)

ndash CPM vs no CPM total knee

arthroplasty (MacDonald et al 2000)

How do I protect soft tissue structures

bull Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) protection may be required if ligament reattached or involved

bull Protect LCL with the patient supine and placing forearm in pronation during ROM

bull May allow prosup with elbow flexed at 90 at 2 days post-op

bull Avoid adduction and internal rotation of the shoulder limiting varus stress (Dunning et al 2001)

Customizing Therapy to Patient

Should I incorporate CPM

bull Indicated to prevent post-traumatic stiffness based on rationale ndash Acute bleeding and edema result in

swelling of peri-articular tissues limiting joint motion and uarrrsquoing pain

ndash Moving the joint through its entire range can empirically prevent stiffness and edema

ndash Subacute stage deposition of extracellular matrix and granulation tissue cpm used to accomplish full ROM (1 week to 4 weeks)

Should I Incorporate CPM

bull Phase I

ndash Prevent joint stiffness

ndash Minimize edema

ndash Minimize hydrostatic

joint pressures(OrsquoDriscoll amp Giori 2000)

bull Evidence Controversial

ndash CPM vs no CPM post open

How do I protect soft tissue structures

bull Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) protection may be required if ligament reattached or involved

bull Protect LCL with the patient supine and placing forearm in pronation during ROM

bull May allow prosup with elbow flexed at 90 at 2 days post-op

bull Full activity as tolerated

GENERAL REHAB CONSIDERATIONS

bull Which orthotic limits forearm rotation best

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

Poll Question

Should forearm rotatiion strength and ROM be

phased in gradually as the patient gains strength

following a surgical reconstruction of the distal

Customizing Therapy to Patient

Should I incorporate CPM

bull Indicated to prevent post-traumatic stiffness based on rationale ndash Acute bleeding and edema result in

swelling of peri-articular tissues limiting joint motion and uarrrsquoing pain

ndash Moving the joint through its entire range can empirically prevent stiffness and edema

ndash Subacute stage deposition of extracellular matrix and granulation tissue cpm used to accomplish full ROM (1 week to 4 weeks)

Should I Incorporate CPM

bull Phase I

ndash Prevent joint stiffness

ndash Minimize edema

ndash Minimize hydrostatic

joint pressures(OrsquoDriscoll amp Giori 2000)

bull Evidence Controversial

ndash CPM vs no CPM post open

How do I protect soft tissue structures

bull Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) protection may be required if ligament reattached or involved

bull Protect LCL with the patient supine and placing forearm in pronation during ROM

bull May allow prosup with elbow flexed at 90 at 2 days post-op

Customizing Therapy to Patient

Should I incorporate CPM

bull Indicated to prevent post-traumatic stiffness based on rationale ndash Acute bleeding and edema result in

swelling of peri-articular tissues limiting joint motion and uarrrsquoing pain

ndash Moving the joint through its entire range can empirically prevent stiffness and edema

ndash Subacute stage deposition of extracellular matrix and granulation tissue cpm used to accomplish full ROM (1 week to 4 weeks)

Should I Incorporate CPM

bull Phase I

ndash Prevent joint stiffness

ndash Minimize edema

ndash Minimize hydrostatic

joint pressures(OrsquoDriscoll amp Giori 2000)

bull Evidence Controversial

ndash CPM vs no CPM post open

contracture release Lindenhovius et

al 2009)

ndash CPM vs no CPM total knee

How do I protect soft tissue structures

bull Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) protection may be required if ligament reattached or involved

bull Protect LCL with the patient supine and placing forearm in pronation during ROM

bull May allow prosup with elbow flexed at 90 at 2 days post-op

bull Full activity as tolerated

GENERAL REHAB CONSIDERATIONS

bull Which orthotic limits forearm rotation best

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

Customizing Therapy to Patient

Should I incorporate CPM

bull Indicated to prevent post-traumatic stiffness based on rationale ndash Acute bleeding and edema result in

swelling of peri-articular tissues limiting joint motion and uarrrsquoing pain

ndash Moving the joint through its entire range can empirically prevent stiffness and edema

ndash Subacute stage deposition of extracellular matrix and granulation tissue cpm used to accomplish full ROM (1 week to 4 weeks)

Should I Incorporate CPM

bull Phase I

ndash Prevent joint stiffness

ndash Minimize edema

ndash Minimize hydrostatic

joint pressures(OrsquoDriscoll amp Giori 2000)

bull Evidence Controversial

ndash CPM vs no CPM post open

Customizing Therapy to Patient

Should I incorporate CPM

bull Indicated to prevent post-traumatic stiffness based on rationale ndash Acute bleeding and edema result in

swelling of peri-articular tissues limiting joint motion and uarrrsquoing pain

ndash Moving the joint through its entire range can empirically prevent stiffness and edema

ndash Subacute stage deposition of extracellular matrix and granulation tissue cpm used to accomplish full ROM (1 week to 4 weeks)

Should I Incorporate CPM

bull Phase I

ndash Prevent joint stiffness

ndash Minimize edema

ndash Minimize hydrostatic

joint pressures(OrsquoDriscoll amp Giori 2000)

bull Evidence Controversial

ndash CPM vs no CPM post open

contracture release Lindenhovius et

al 2009)

ndash CPM vs no CPM total knee

arthroplasty (MacDonald et al 2000)

How do I protect soft tissue structures

bull Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) protection may be required if ligament reattached or involved

bull Protect LCL with the patient supine and placing forearm in pronation during ROM

bull May allow prosup with elbow flexed at 90 at 2 days post-op

bull Avoid adduction and internal rotation of the shoulder limiting varus stress (Dunning et al 2001)

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

Customizing Therapy to Patient

Should I incorporate CPM

bull Indicated to prevent post-traumatic stiffness based on rationale ndash Acute bleeding and edema result in

swelling of peri-articular tissues limiting joint motion and uarrrsquoing pain

ndash Moving the joint through its entire range can empirically prevent stiffness and edema

ndash Subacute stage deposition of extracellular matrix and granulation tissue cpm used to accomplish full ROM (1 week to 4 weeks)

Should I Incorporate CPM

bull Phase I

ndash Prevent joint stiffness

ndash Minimize edema

ndash Minimize hydrostatic

joint pressures(OrsquoDriscoll amp Giori 2000)

bull Evidence Controversial

ndash CPM vs no CPM post open

Customizing Therapy to Patient

Should I incorporate CPM

bull Indicated to prevent post-traumatic stiffness based on rationale ndash Acute bleeding and edema result in

swelling of peri-articular tissues limiting joint motion and uarrrsquoing pain

ndash Moving the joint through its entire range can empirically prevent stiffness and edema

ndash Subacute stage deposition of extracellular matrix and granulation tissue cpm used to accomplish full ROM (1 week to 4 weeks)

Should I Incorporate CPM

bull Phase I

ndash Prevent joint stiffness

ndash Minimize edema

ndash Minimize hydrostatic

joint pressures(OrsquoDriscoll amp Giori 2000)

bull Evidence Controversial

ndash CPM vs no CPM post open

contracture release Lindenhovius et

al 2009)

ndash CPM vs no CPM total knee

How do I protect soft tissue structures

bull Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) protection may be required if ligament reattached or involved

bull Protect LCL with the patient supine and placing forearm in pronation during ROM

bull May allow prosup with elbow flexed at 90 at 2 days post-op

bull Avoid adduction and internal rotation of the shoulder limiting varus stress (Dunning et al 2001)

Customizing Therapy to Patient

Should I incorporate CPM

bull Indicated to prevent post-traumatic stiffness based on rationale ndash Acute bleeding and edema result in

swelling of peri-articular tissues limiting joint motion and uarrrsquoing pain

ndash Moving the joint through its entire range can empirically prevent stiffness and edema

ndash Subacute stage deposition of extracellular matrix and granulation tissue cpm used to accomplish full ROM (1 week to 4 weeks)

Should I Incorporate CPM

bull Phase I

ndash Prevent joint stiffness

ndash Minimize edema

ndash Minimize hydrostatic

joint pressures(OrsquoDriscoll amp Giori 2000)

bull Evidence Controversial

ndash CPM vs no CPM post open

contracture release Lindenhovius et

al 2009)

ndash CPM vs no CPM total knee

arthroplasty (MacDonald et al 2000)

How do I protect soft tissue structures

bull Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) protection may be required if ligament reattached or involved

bull Protect LCL with the patient supine and placing forearm in pronation during ROM

bull May allow prosup with elbow flexed at 90 at 2 days post-op

bull Avoid adduction and internal rotation of the shoulder limiting varus stress (Dunning et al 2001)

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

Customizing Therapy to Patient

Should I incorporate CPM

bull Indicated to prevent post-traumatic stiffness based on rationale ndash Acute bleeding and edema result in

swelling of peri-articular tissues limiting joint motion and uarrrsquoing pain

ndash Moving the joint through its entire range can empirically prevent stiffness and edema

ndash Subacute stage deposition of extracellular matrix and granulation tissue cpm used to accomplish full ROM (1 week to 4 weeks)

Should I Incorporate CPM

bull Phase I

ndash Prevent joint stiffness

ndash Minimize edema

ndash Minimize hydrostatic

joint pressures(OrsquoDriscoll amp Giori 2000)

bull Evidence Controversial

How do I protect soft tissue structures

bull Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) protection may be required if ligament reattached or involved

bull Protect LCL with the patient supine and placing forearm in pronation during ROM

bull May allow prosup with elbow flexed at 90 at 2 days post-op

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

ProliferationRegeneration Phases

bull Gradual return to AROM and gentle PROM at wrist and forearm (gradual progression to end range prosup)

Maturation Phase (6 to 12 weeks)

bull Gentle strengthening and activity as tolerated

bull Full activity as tolerated

GENERAL REHAB CONSIDERATIONS

bull Which orthotic limits forearm rotation best

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

Poll Question

Should forearm rotatiion strength and ROM be

phased in gradually as the patient gains strength

following a surgical reconstruction of the distal

radial ulnar joint

a Yes

b No

GENERAL REHAB CONSIDERATIONS

bull Which orthotic limits forearm rotation best

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

GENERAL REHAB CONSIDERATIONS

bull Which orthotic limits forearm rotation best

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

GENERAL REHAB CONSIDERATIONS

bull Which orthotic limits forearm rotation best

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

GENERAL REHAB CONSIDERATIONS

bull Which orthotic limits forearm rotation best

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

bull Which orthotic limits forearm rotation best

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

GENERAL REHAB CONSIDERATIONS

bull Which orthotic limits forearm rotation best

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

bull Full activity as tolerated

GENERAL REHAB CONSIDERATIONS

bull Which orthotic limits forearm rotation best

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

Poll Question

Should forearm rotatiion strength and ROM be

phased in gradually as the patient gains strength

following a surgical reconstruction of the distal

bull Gradual return to AROM and gentle PROM at wrist and forearm (gradual progression to end range prosup)

Maturation Phase (6 to 12 weeks)

bull Gentle strengthening and activity as tolerated

bull Full activity as tolerated

GENERAL REHAB CONSIDERATIONS

bull Which orthotic limits forearm rotation best

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

Poll Question

Should forearm rotatiion strength and ROM be

phased in gradually as the patient gains strength

General Progression Concepts with

Stabilization

ProliferationRegeneration Phases

bull Gradual return to AROM and gentle PROM at wrist and forearm (gradual progression to end range prosup)

Maturation Phase (6 to 12 weeks)

bull Gentle strengthening and activity as tolerated

bull Full activity as tolerated

GENERAL REHAB CONSIDERATIONS

bull Which orthotic limits forearm rotation best

ndashMuenster

ndashSugartong

ndashAntipronationSlaughter et al 2010

61

Conclusionbull Sugartong restricts pronation significantly better

than all other orthotics

bull Anti-pronation demonstrated significantly better

results limiting forearm pronation as compared to

the wrist orthotic

bull Anti-pronation splint may be uncomfortable due

to placement on ulnar styloid

bull Neither Muenster or Sugartong completely

immobilized rotation

bull 3 subjects reported Sugartong most comfortable

and 2 reported Muenster most comfortableSlaughter et al 2010

Poll Question

Should forearm rotatiion strength and ROM be

phased in gradually as the patient gains strength

following a surgical reconstruction of the distal

radial ulnar joint

a Yes

b No
