Musculoskeletal injuries are among the most common chief complaints in the geriatric population. Shoulder pain with associated deformity should be evaluated for possible joint dislocations, fractures, and musculotendinous tears. A comprehensive evaluation beginning with history and physical examination is important. Typical imaging utilized for the diagnosis of shoulder injuries includes plain radiography, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We present a case of a 75-year-old male with massive rotator cuff tears and subsequent shoulder deformity. Management with non-surgical or surgical approaches should begin as soon as possible to delay the development of rotator cuff arthropathy.
肌肉骨骼损伤是老年人群中最常见的主要就诊原因之一。对于伴有畸形的肩部疼痛,应评估是否存在关节脱位、骨折和肌腱撕裂的可能。从病史和体格检查开始的全面评估很重要。用于诊断肩部损伤的典型影像学检查包括X线平片、超声和磁共振成像(MRI)。我们报告一例75岁男性,患有巨大的肩袖撕裂及随后的肩部畸形。应尽快开始采用非手术或手术方法进行治疗,以延缓肩袖关节病的发展。
