CT Scan report attached along with X ray for reference.

I underlined the parts which I think may be useful info for me.

"Periprosthetic lucency along the humeral component"

Does this mean something along the lines of "there is a space* &/or you can see thru the bone near the segment of the implant which goes into the humerus" ?

*either low bone density, fracture or some sort of empty space?


The yellow line I don't have much understanding at all.

"Well corticated focus of ossification along the posterior superior and lateral aspects of the glenosphere"

Ossification... is that a bone growth? I've seen that on other reports

"Well corticated" ... some sort of clear line, lesion or marking that shows up? Guessing here.

Posterior, superior and lateral ... the back of, top of and side of ... right?

Glenosphere... I'm guessing that is a "ball" of the ball and socket function.

So there is bone growing around the ball implant...? Is that right? Close?

let me know had badly i failed. {<shrug}



"Shit is fucked up and maybe broken, worn away or loose along the humerus near the implant and there is some shit that doesnt belong there around the ball implant part."

After translating these made up words back and forth to random languages, I've come to the prognosis that:

- Your fake parts are now transparent. Most likely this will lead to cool tricks at rave parties and light shows.

- While your non-fake soft parts are hardening and creating new layers. This will likely lead to a lack of movement ability and growing a third shoulder.

I'm also a Professional Shookologist M.D. If you have any staredowns coming up before your next surgery, feel free to reach out for further analysis.
 
Don't sweat it. We see this all the time. It's never an issue unless the patient is 45 years old. But if he's 45 the patient will never again be able to bench teh 275 or become a groundhog expert.

It may be a sign of loosening of the humeral component. Needs to compare with previous exams, especially older ones.

A chunk of bone that probably shouldn't be there. Difficult to say without previous exams. Maybe a heterotopic ossification of the remains of your rotator cuff. Is your shoulder impinged with severely restricted external rotation? It can be caused by that.
The good part is that "well corticated" means that it probably stabilized and won't ossify or grow anymore.
 
Looks like I have dibs on your stuff.

I've watched many episodes of Chicago Med so I'm an honorary TV Doctor. It looks like an amputation is needed.
