was consistent with that history. He recommended that Peter see Dr. Carson.
Dr. Carson, the orthopedic specialist who Peter saw two days after the accident, treated him conservatively for a subluxation, which is a partial dislocation of the right shoulder. He suspected a labral tear that might require diagnostic arthroscopy and repair. In 2005, Dr. McCarty performed an arthroscopic procedure to repair, among other things, injury to the labrum. Dr. Carson did not see Peter from April 28, 1999 until May 10, 2000. In the interim, between nine months to a year after the accident, Dr. Peter D'Ambrosia noticed Peter had a winged scapula. Peter was in the family room at the time with his shirt off. As a result, Dr. Robert D'Ambrosia took Peter to see Dr. Drez.nerve. On the second EMG study that was performed almost two years after the accident, he recorded an additional problem with the long thoracic nerve.
According to Dr. Sumner, Peter injured two major nerves in the vicinity of the shoulder. Dr. Sumner believed that his *805 first EMG was unsuccessful because he failed to properly place the needle in the serratus anterior muscle. Dr. Sumner testified that as of the last exam of March 2001, it was his opinion that Peter sustained permanent nerve damage. And with a reasonable degree of medical certainty based on his exam, history, and any medical records he reviewed, that those nerve injuries resulted from the accident.
Dr. John Cazale, an orthopedic surgeon, testified that on July 10, 2001, he did an independent medical exam
