Osteochondritis dissecans of the humeral head.
Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy 2012 October
The patient was a 16-year-old adolescent male who was referred to an orthopaedic surgeon by his pediatrician for a chief complaint of persistent right shoulder pain and crepitus that limited his ability to participate in sporting activities. The patient's progressively worsening right shoulder pain and crepitus, despite no history of injury, was a concern. Therefore, conventional radiographs were completed, which demonstrated an area of radiolucency involving the humeral head. Due to concern for intra-articular pathology, a magnetic resonance arthrogram was ordered, which demonstrated findings consistent with an osteochondritis dissecans lesion of the humeral head.
