After falling two weeks ago, a 44-year-old guy showed up at the office complaining of persistent left shoulder ache. His left arm hit the ground with a snap as he attempted to catch himself. After the incident, he was evaluated in the emergency room (ED), where radiographs were collected (Figure 1A). The patient received orthopaedics as a follow-up. When the right shoulder is examined physically, the patient's anterior glenoid is painful to the touch, and active mobility is difficult. The anterior-inferior glenoid fracture is visible on coronal and sagittal computed tomography (CT) scans (Figure 1 B), with a 6 mm anterior-inferior displacement and a more than 30% loss of the glenoid surface area.
