#WetreadCow SS Case 8

Answer: Septic joint + osteomyelitis (humerus + glenoid)

+RTC tear or two on MRI 😮

-Cortical destruction w/ ⬆️⬆️osteopenia

These go bad VERY fast! Aspiration is key!

This was literally a Friday 5PM walking out the door case. To this day it reminds me:

1) Provided Hx can be useless (your 👀 >> indication)
2) Cortex, Cortex, Cortex - examine all the cortical margins
3) Soft tissues are your friend!
4) Beware first and last case of the day 😉
