@drdavidabbasi: He slipped, landed on his shoulder, and walked into Dr. Abbasi's clinic thinking it was just a bruise 😳 But a fall directly onto the shoulder doesn't just hurt — it transmits force straight through the joint and into the rotator cuff, one of the most vulnerable and complex soft tissue structures in the body. The X-ray showed the bone was intact, but bone is only part of the story. Dr. Abbasi ran a full shoulder exam — provocative tests targeting the rotator cuff and surrounding structures — and the results pointed toward potential soft tissue damage that imaging alone couldn't confirm yet. The next step is an MRI, because when it comes to tendons and the rotator cuff, that's the only way to see exactly what the fall did and what needs to happen next. A clean X-ray doesn't mean a clean shoulder. ✅Follow @drdavidabbasi for More Daily Medical Content & Health Tips!🌴😷Schedule a consultation in Delray Beach! Visit www.primeorthocenter.com
