Musculoskeletal - Humeral head fracture with traumatic effusion
Caption
Patient fell onto his left shoulder with point tenderness at the proximal humeral neck. Point-of-care ultrasound showed cortical break on a transverse view of the humeral head. Hyperechoic fluid was visualized in the glenohumeral joint, likely clotted blood. A comminuted humeral head/neck fracture was confirmed on XR. Charles Jang, EM PGY-3
