greater tuberosity

I went back to see Dr. Manoogian today and had my shoulder x-rayed again. Everything looks okay, so no surgery necessary. He let me get an extra good look at my fracture on the "hot light" on my way out. I thought before that it was a straight line fracture starting at the top of my shoulder and running down about an inch. But what I learned today is that it is actually circular, called a greater tuberosity fracture. It looks like the little picture above, except it isn't detached like that. I go back to the doctor's on the 5th of October and if all is well, then I can start physical therapy. In the meantime...still, still, still.
