In each issue, JUCM will challenge your diagnostic acumen with a glimpse of x-rays, electrocardiograms, and photographs of dermatologic conditions that real urgent care patients have presented with.
If you would like to submit a case for consideration, please e-mail the relevant materials and presenting information to [email protected]
The patient is a 19-year-old male who complains of pain after receiving a blow to the shoulder.
Range of motion is limited due to pain. The patient is otherwise healthy.
View the x-ray (Figure 1) and consider what your diagnosis and next steps would be.
