Clinical History

The patient is a 43 year old man without significant past medical history who has noted increasing discomfort and progressive "loss of flexibility" in his right shoulder over the last several months. He does not recall any recent trauma, and denies any fevers, night sweats, skin rashes, fatigue, or other systemic symptoms. His general physical examination is unremarkable, but examination of the right shoulder reveals marked swelling, mild erythema, and highly restricted range of motion in several planes. Radiographs of the shoulder are obtained.
