Suggest Treatment To Fix The Fractured Glenoid Neck Of The Scapula
Question: Dear Doctor,
On the morning of 27/2/18, I was doing some electrical work by standing with bare feet on the kitchen platform. I was putting an extension to the Neutral wire but somehow I caught hold of the live wire strands and was electrocuted for 35 to 40 seconds appx not sure. Later I screamed loudly since I was stuck with the live wire and thrown down very badly. I am unable to lift my left hand.
Attached is the scan image of x-ray for your reference. Please advise.

Dear Doctor,
I had no previous falls or history of old fracture. Can you please explain your sentence "Possibly the its a new feature as well" Do you mean feature or Fracture.
