More about this case

A 40 y.o. male presents with achy right shoulder pain

that he states he has had off & on all of his life. Doctors said he had "brachial plexus since birth" (quote from patient). No relief w/meds, injections, or PT. No history of trauma. Abduction & external rotation are limited (patient states "it has always been like that"). Any thoughts about this shoulder, especially the AC joint?

I have a patient who suffered bilateral shoulder fractures post defibrillation.

He was found in an arrhythmia prehospital and shocked. Over the next hour he was defibrillated four more times. He was taken to the cath lab and had two LAD stents placed. After this he complained of bilateral shoulder pain. He had bilateral numeral head fractures requiring prosthesis placement. Has anyone had any such cases????!

Worse when he sleeps on that side. He is tender over the AC joint. He has tried some icing and medications but still feels discomfort. How would you manage this? He is right-handed.

This patient presented to the ED with a dislocated scapula.

He has had issues with this since mid-twenties. Patient stated that hardly anyone he's seen ever knew how to set it back into place, he presented to the ER doctors that he just needed Med's because he knew how to pop it back in himself.

No chest pain, no previous cardiac history, no history of sudden death in family. Are there any features in this EKG that would warrant further work-up or is this just a pediatric EKG?
