Abstract:
This report is of a case of acute calcific tendinitis of supraspinatus tendon in a 7-year-old boy who presented to the hospital with an acute painful shoulder after a fall. Initial radiographs mimicked fracture of the greater tuberosity of the humerus. Subsequent investigation confirmed that the appearance was due to a calcific tendinitis. The patient recovered shortly afterwards with complete resolution of the calcific lesion.
