(a) Radiograph of injured shoulder taken at first clinical visit (12/27/2018) (7.5 weeks after the injury). (b) Radiograph of injured shoulder taken at the second clinical visit (1/31/2019) (approximately 11 weeks after the index injury). Note that the lucency extends across the entire coracoid. (c) Radiograph of contralateral (noninjured) shoulder taken at second clinical visit. Note that the lucency at the medial aspect of the coracoid is much less obvious when compared to the injured side.
