Patient with shoulder pain - please sm


Posted: Sep 14, 2011

There is no evidence of significant rotator cuff tear and she has normal appearing s/l **slant sign**  of the shoulder on her radiographs, I believe that she would be a candidate for a total shoulder rather than a reverse total shoulder.  

slant sign - ldedmon

Sorry, wrong answer for your question.

Sulcus sign, maybe? - Could he be saying it fast?
