posterior shoulder laxity in asymptomatic athletes
American Journal of Sports Medicine, 1996Co-Authors: Edward G Mcfarland, Gary Campbell, Jason McdowellAbstract:We evaluated the frequency of posterior subluxations on physical examination of athletes who had no symptoms of shoulder injuries and correlated the findings with other measures of joint laxity. During routine sports physical examinations, 356 shoulders in 178 athletes were examined for posterior subluxation and graded as either positive or negative for subluxation. Sulcus Signs were performed and graded as I ( 1.5 cm). Standard hyperlaxity tests of other joints were used to measure general ligamentous laxity. Statistical analysis included the Student's t-test and chi-square analysis (P < 0.05). Overall, 55% of the shoulders could be subluxated posteriorly. More female shoulders (65%) than male shoulders (51%) could be subluxated posteriorly. Ten percent of the athletes had asymmetrical posterior shoulder laxity. Men had statistically Significant less inferior translation (Sulcus Signs of grade I, 49%; grade II, 46%; grade III, 3%) than women (grade I, 36%; grade II, 54%; grade III, 9%). Five percent of the shoulders had posterior subluxation and a grade III Sulcus Sign. Asymptomatic posterior subluxation present at physical examination may represent normal laxity and may not indicate pathologic instability.

pneumothorax and deep Sulcus Sign
QJM: An International Journal of Medicine, 2016Co-Authors: Szuyi Liu, Iting Tsai, Pojen YangAbstract:A 93-year-old woman who had been a pedestrian was brought to the emergency department after a road traffic accident. On arrival, the patient was conscious and hemodynamically stable with a respiratory rate of 14 breaths/min, pulse rate of 81 beats/min, blood pressure of 141/46 mmHg. The physical examination revealed multiple limb injuries in addition to tenderness on palpation of the right chest …

the ultrasonographic deep Sulcus Sign in traumatic pneumothorax
Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology, 2006Co-Authors: Gino Soldati, Americo Testa, Giulia Pignataro, Grazia Portale, Daniele G Biasucci, Antonio Maria Leone, Nicolo Gentiloni SilveriAbstract:Abstract A series of 186 patients with blunt chest trauma was studied with transthoracic ultrasonography to diagnose pneumothorax and to evaluate its size and location. The results were compared with bedside chest radiography and spiral CT scan. The prevalence of pneumothorax on CT scan was 56/186 (30.1%). Pneumothorax was proven on radiography in 30/56 cases without false positive results: “radiographic deep Sulcus Sign” was evident in 3/29 cases, 26/29 cases being occult. The ultrasound study demonstrated the presence of pneumothorax in 55/56 patients: one occult pneumothorax was missed and no false positive results were observed. The CT scan differed of ±2.3 cm (range 1–5 cm) from the US study in evaluating size and location of pneumothorax. In conclusion, ultrasound study may detect occult pneumothorax undiagnosed by standard plain radiography. It reflects accurately the extent of pneumothorax if compared with CT scan, outlining the “ultrasonographic deep Sulcus Sign” on anterior chest wall. (E-mail: testaa@rm.unicatt.it )

deep Sulcus Sign
The New England Journal of Medicine, 2012Co-Authors: Saweera Sabbar, Eric J NillesAbstract:A 23-year-old man who been a passenger in a minivan was brought to the ER after a high-speed road accident. He had transient hypotension and tachycardia, which improved after the administration of intravenous fluids.
