Abstract

A 60-year-old woman with chronic atraumatic shoulder pain underwent arthroscopic biceps tenodesis. Upon presenting to the physical therapy clinic 7 days following surgery, she reported constant pain. Following the examination, the physical therapist reviewed the patient's postoperative radiographs and noted a comminuted but minimally displaced fracture of the right proximal humeral metaphysis. <i>J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2020;50(11):649. doi:10.2519/jospt.2020.9497</i>.
