Spontaneous Avascular Necrosis of the Humeral Head Following COVID-19 Vaccination.

We report a case of a 40-year-old man who presented with left shoulder pain and marked functional impairment two days after receiving the second dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Advanced imaging demonstrated focal avascular necrosis (AVN) of his humeral head. Initial management included simple analgesics, activity modification, and an ultrasound-guided intra-articular hydrodilatation injection.
