Radiographs with no distinct bone lesions noted. However, subtle decrease in trabecular bone density adjacent to the greater tuberosity is noted in (a) near the arrow tip. The arrows also indicate mild calcific tendinitis.

Radiographs obtained one month later demonstrated a hooked acromion and subtle decrease in trabecular bone density adjacent to the greater tuberosity, but no distinct bone lesions were noted (Figure 1).
