Other Studies:
X-ray right shoulder (6/2019): Normal alignment with no acute fracture. No degenerative changes. Case Photo #1 Case Photo #2 Case Photo #3
MRI right shoulder (4/2020): Focal bone marrow edema along the proximal humerus measuring 3.3 cm without acute fracture consistent with high-grade bone stress injury. Tendinopathy of the supraspinatus, subscapularis and long head of the biceps. Case Photo #4 Case Photo #5
MRI right shoulder (8/2020): Unchanged bone marrow edema at the humeral diaphysis with periosteal reaction. Linear signal at the anteromedial cortex consistent with fracture or osteoid osteoma. Case Photo #6
CT right shoulder (9/2020):
4mm lucency of the superficial cortex of the anterolateral medial proximal humeral shaft with endosteal sclerosis and a small calcified nidus consistent with an osteoid osteoma. There is minimal periostitis and a lucency extending from the shaft into the lesion that is likely a vascular channel. Case Photo #7
