A 25-year-old female cyclist was knocked down by another bicycle and fell on her right shoulder. She was seen at a local emergency department one hour after the injury. She complained of pain around both the anterior and posterior aspects of her right shoulder. The range of shoulder abduction was limited to 0-50°. There was no brachial plexus or peripheral nerve injuries. Radiograph of the right shoulder was taken (Figure 1).
