    In the orthopedic section, the last sentence for a dislocated shoulder is incomplete (assume it’s because they…). What’s the rest of the sentence?

    Hmm… I can’t seem to figure out what I was thinking. Sorry about that. I’ve deleted that fragment…

    Revised version:

    DISLOCATED SHOULDER

    If a prepubertal child presents with a dislocated shoulder, anterior dislocation is MUCH more common than posterior. Obtain an AXILLARY view X-ray.

    PEARL: If a prepubertal child presents with what looks like dislocated shoulder, it’s probably NOT A DISLOCATION. It’s actually a FRACTURE.
