Findings:
- FRACTURE IDENTIFIED
- There is a complete, displaced fracture of the right clavicle
- Location: Mid-shaft / middle third of the clavicle (most common site)
- Displacement: The medial fragment is displaced superiorly (due to sternocleidomastoid pull); the lateral fragment is displaced inferiorly (due to weight of the arm)

I can't convert the HEIC file in this environment. However, looking carefully at the original shoulder X-ray you shared (IMG_3400 - the one already analyzed), and given your correction, let me re-examine what I may have misidentified.
From the original shoulder X-ray analysis and the X-ray label itself (which says "SHOULDER AP"), let me reassess carefully:
What you likely marked: Looking at the shoulder X-ray again - the fracture I identified was on the clavicle. However, looking more carefully at the image:
The X-ray shows the proximal humerus and shoulder joint. The structure with the apparent fracture line and displacement could be:
CORRECTED PROVISIONAL DIAGNOSIS
Most likely corrected finding - Fracture of the Proximal Humerus (Surgical Neck)
Looking at the shoulder X-ray more critically:
- The fracture line appears at the surgical neck of the humerus (just below the greater and lesser tuberosities)
- There is angulation/displacement of the humeral shaft relative to the humeral head
- This fits perfectly with the mechanism - pedestrian hit by vehicle, FOOSH (fall on outstretched hand) or direct impact on shoulder
- The patient's symptoms: pain, restricted shoulder ROM, difficulty with arm movement
OR it could be:
- Proximal humerus fracture - greater tuberosity avulsion
- Fracture dislocation of shoulder (proximal humerus + glenohumeral dislocation)
Since I cannot open the marked HEIC file in this environment, could you please:
- Share the marked image as a JPG/PNG - so I can see exactly where you marked the fracture, OR
- Tell me the fracture location - is it:
- Proximal humerus (surgical neck)?
- Greater tuberosity?
- Humeral shaft?
- Scapula/glenoid?
- Clavicle (which I originally said)?
This will allow me to correct the provisional diagnosis, update the ward notes and IP form accurately. The HEIC format is an Apple format that cannot be processed in this sandbox environment.

I have shared both the images marked and unmarked

Now I can see the X-ray clearly in correct orientation. You are absolutely right - I apologize for the earlier error. Here is the corrected analysis:
CORRECTED X-RAY FINDING - LEFT SHOULDER AP
You were correct. This is a LEFT shoulder (marker "L" visible top right). My original diagnosis of "right clavicle fracture" was wrong on two counts:
- The side is LEFT, not right (though clinically the patient may have right-sided symptoms - this needs correlation)
- The fractured bone is NOT the clavicle - the clavicle is intact
Actual Fracture: Fracture Surgical Neck of Humerus (Left) - Displaced
Radiological Description:
- Complete fracture through the surgical neck of the left humerus
- The humeral shaft (distal fragment) is displaced medially towards the chest wall/axilla
- Superior override/shortening of approximately 2-3 cm
- The humeral head fragment remains in the glenoid - no dislocation
- Clavicle: intact, no fracture
- AC joint: preserved
- No rib fractures visible
- Significant soft tissue swelling around the shoulder/proximal arm
CORRECTED PROVISIONAL DIAGNOSIS
| # | Diagnosis |
|---|---|
| 1 | Fracture Surgical Neck of Humerus (Left) - Complete, Displaced - RTA |
| 2 | Right forearm contusion / soft tissue injury (no fracture on X-ray) |
| 3 | MLC - RTA (Pedestrian vs Motorcycle) |
CORRECTED WARD NOTES - Key Update
Radiology (Corrected):
X-Ray Left Shoulder AP - 21/07/2026:
- Fracture surgical neck of humerus (left), complete, with medial displacement of shaft fragment and approximately 2-3 cm override/shortening
- Humeral head remains in glenoid - no glenohumeral dislocation
- Clavicle intact
- No pneumothorax
Updated Plan (Orthopaedic):
- Broad arm sling / collar & cuff immobilisation
- Urgent Orthopaedic surgeon review - may need operative fixation (ORIF / CRPP / IM nailing) vs conservative management depending on neurovascular status
- Check axillary nerve function (sensation over regimental badge area / deltoid power) - axillary nerve injury is the most common nerve injury with surgical neck fractures
- Check radial pulse - vascular injury (axillary artery) must be ruled out
- Analgesia IV/IM
- MLC documentation
- NPO - potential surgical candidate
Important clinical note: Axillary nerve runs in close proximity to the surgical neck of the humerus and is at risk in this fracture. Formal neurovascular examination is mandatory.
Okay, now how to write ward notes
Ward notes follow a standard structure. Here's how to write them for this patient, with both the format explained and the actual completed note for Mrs. Sulfath K.

GOLDEN RULES FOR WARD NOTES
- Every entry needs date, time, and signature - non-negotiable
- Write legibly - if illegible it is legally invalid
- Never erase - strike through errors with a single line, initial it
- Be factual - write what you see, not assumptions
- Document neurovascular status at every review in fracture cases
- MLC cases - document meticulously, every finding, every time
- If in doubt, write it down - better to over-document than under
Okay. The thing is, I haven't checked the axillary nerve, so I have to write, uh, in a provisional diagnosis to see the axillary nerve. Diagnosis, like, if it is... Fine or not, how to do that?
Great question. Here is exactly how to document this and how to check the axillary nerve.
HOW TO DOCUMENT IN WARD NOTES (when not yet checked)
In the O (Objective) section, simply write:
"Axillary nerve status - not assessed at time of admission. To be reviewed."
Then in the P (Plan) section write:
"Check axillary nerve status - sensation and motor power to be formally assessed."
This is perfectly acceptable and actually shows good clinical awareness that you know it needs to be checked.
HOW TO ACTUALLY CHECK THE AXILLARY NERVE
The axillary nerve has 2 components - you check both:
1. SENSORY (easier, do this first)
Regimental Badge Area = a small patch of skin over the lateral deltoid (outer side of upper arm, about 2-3 finger widths below the tip of the shoulder)
How to test:
- Use a pin or just touch with your finger
- Ask patient: "Can you feel this?"
- Compare with the other (normal) side
- Ask: "Is it the same feeling on both sides?"
Normal = feels the same both sides Axillary nerve injury = numb / reduced sensation on the injured side
2. MOTOR (may be difficult with a painful fracture)
Test the Deltoid muscle (axillary nerve supplies deltoid)
How to test:
- Ask patient to try to lift the arm sideways (abduction)
- Even 1-2 cm of movement = deltoid is working
Note: In a fresh painful fracture, patient may not cooperate. Sensory test is more reliable acutely.
HOW TO WRITE THE FINDING IN WARD NOTES
If nerve is INTACT:
Axillary nerve assessment:
- Sensation: Present and intact over regimental
badge area (lateral deltoid) bilaterally equal
- Motor (Deltoid): Active contraction felt on
palpation / unable to assess fully due to pain
- Impression: Axillary nerve - INTACT (clinically)
If nerve is INJURED:
Axillary nerve assessment:
- Sensation: ABSENT / Reduced over regimental
badge area (lateral deltoid) on left side
- Motor (Deltoid): No active contraction
- Impression: Possible axillary nerve injury -
?neuropraxia vs axonotmesis
- Plan: Nerve conduction study / EMG after
fracture management. Neurosurgery opinion if
needed.
ADD THIS TO PROVISIONAL DIAGNOSIS
PROVISIONAL DIAGNOSIS:
1. Fracture surgical neck left humerus -
complete, displaced - RTA
2. ?Axillary nerve injury (L) - to be assessed
3. Right forearm contusion
4. MLC - RTA
The "?" before a diagnosis means "query / to be ruled out" - this is standard medical notation and shows you are being thorough.
QUICK BEDSIDE REMINDER
AXILLARY NERVE CHECK - 30 seconds
Step 1: Point to lateral deltoid (badge area)
Step 2: Touch / pinprick both sides
Step 3: Ask "Same feeling both sides?"
Step 4: Ask to shrug arm sideways slightly
Step 5: Document what you find
Go check it now and add the finding to your ward note - it takes less than a minute and is medico-legally important in this fracture.
