Milwaukee shoulder syndrome is a rare clinical entity that is a rapid destructive shoulder arthropathy associated with deposition of calcium hydroxyapatite crystals. It mainly affects elderly women. It is characterized by the presence of large amount of noninflammatory synovial fluid containing calcium hydroxyapatite crystals, a complete tear of the rotator cuff and progressive degenerative changes at the humeral head, leading to almost complete functional impairment. We present a case of a 65-year-old woman suffered by Milwaukee shoulder syndrome with literature view.
