Here we must be very careful and look for rotator cuff injuries because of the extreme force applied to the body. With a severe enough impact, the body will twist around, and the right shoulder can also come in contact with an airbag or even with a dash of an automobile. So sometimes we must look for rotator cuff injuries here bilaterally which means on both sides.
If we don't look for these injuries, people don't realize where the injuries come from. This is why we ask so many questions from our clients after the wreck, trying to figure out whether or not they've been injured in this way.
