A 45-year-old construction worker visited the emergency department due to severe swelling and pain in his right shoulder. An X-ray revealed that the shoulder joint was absent, with the upper arm bone (humerus) detached and floating freely. A case report published in the New England Journal of Medicine noted that the X-ray showed no ball or intact socket, indicating significant joint destruction. Additionally, magnetic resonance imaging indicated that the man's rotator cuff was also severely damaged, with three of the four main tendons suffering full-thickness tears.
