Abstract
We report a case of isolated infraspinatus atrophy due to posterior instability of the shoulder after a traumatic fall. Once the glenohumeral joint was stabilized, the patient improved clinically and electrodiagnostic studies normalized. This may be a missed pathologic entity due to the infrequent nature of this type of problem
