Nerve Injury about the Shoulder in Athletes, Part 1

Abstract: Nerve injuries about the shoulder in athletes are being recognized with increasing frequency. Prompt and correct diagnosis of these injuries is important to treat the patient and to understand the potential complications and natural history so as to appropriately counsel athletes. This 2-part article is a review and an overview of the current state of knowledge regarding some of the more common nerve injuries seen about the shoulder in athletes.

“…More common causes of shoulder pain in overhead athletes include internal impingement, instability, superior labral damage, rotator cuff injury (partial or complete tears), bursitis, and impingement syndrome. Less common injuries include axillary artery thrombosis or occlusion, peripheral nerve injuries (quadrilateral space syndrome, axillary nerve injury, suprascapular nerve injury, and long thoracic nerve injury); compression syndromes; effortinduced thrombosis; and thoracic outlet syndrome [1,6,7,13,15,21,24,25,27,34,35,41,42].…”

“…Less common causes of shoulder pain in the overhead athlete include nerve injuries to the suprascapular nerve [13,34], axillary nerve (including quadrilateral space syndrome) [6,15,39], and long thoracic nerve in addition to vascular problems including effort thrombosis of the axillary artery or vein [1,21,24,27,38,41] and thoracic outlet syndrome [7,10,25,35,42]. These neurovascular causes of shoulder pain can be difficult to diagnose and often require special diagnostic tests such as electromyography and arteriography [13,22,34,35].…”

“…Інші схиляються до думки, що оптимальними термінами є 6-12 місяців [9,11]. Саме тому дуже важливим є ЕНМГ-контроль за динамікою як денерваційно-реіннервацій-них процесів у дельтоподібному м'язі, так і провідності за аксилярним нервом як перед операцією, так і після неї [2,4,16,18]. У разі нейропраксії аксилярного нерва са-мостійне відновлення відбувається у 85-100 % за умови адекватного консервативного лікування протягом 6-12 місяців.…”

“…При аксонотмезисі за умови ушкодження на не-значній відстані від кінцевих пластинок м'яза -у близь-ко 80 % випадків, перші ЕНМГ-ознаки відновлення ма-ють відмічатись вже через 3-4 місяці після травми. У разі нейротмезису (або 3-5-го ступеня ушкодження за Сан-дерленд) реіннервація дельтоподібного м'яза без опера-тивного лікування неможлива [4,8,9,12,[15][16][17].…”

“…The diagnosis of TOS, especially neurogenic TOS, is often considered to be difficult because the clinical presentation of TOS is highly variable and many pathognomonic signs or symptoms to confirm this syndrome [30]. Furthermore, associated double-crush syndrome and hypersensitivity of the involved upper extremities can further confuse the clinical presentation.…”
