On Monday, New York Yankee Aaron Judge underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left, non-throwing shoulder in Los Angeles. “The shoulder had bothered him throughout the year and he had an MRI and they found a loose body in there,” said Brian Cashman, general manager. When doctors talk about removing loose bodies, it begs the question: Where did they come from? Loose bodies in the shoulder are typically fragments of cartilage that have broken off the from the end of the humerus. There was no report of a repair in Judge’s surgery, so it is unlikely to have occurred as a result of a dislocation.
