The patient was a 41-year-old man who injured his right shoulder falling onto his outstretched hand while skiing. Radiographs taken in the emergency department demonstrated a 3-part fracture dislocation of the proximal humerus for which he underwent same-day surgery. Physical therapy was initiated on postoperative day 27, and postoperative radiographs and physical examination results assisted in devising an appropriate plan of care and treatment. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2018;48(9):728. doi:10.2519/jospt.2018.6208.
