ANSWER
The radiograph shows a normal-appearing chest. Of note, though, is an anterior dislocation of the right shoulder. In addition, there is a fracture within the greater tuberosity of the right humerus.

Prompt orthopedic evaluation is obtained. In further discussion with the family, it was revealed that the patient had been experiencing falls recently; this injury was most likely the result of one.
