How can you take off/put on a shirt with a fractured shoulder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Carefully!: Check with your physician to see how much motion you can do. Typically i tell my patients to have someone hold their arm a little bit away from their body with the elbow bent. Put the arm through the shirt, then put your head in the shirt. Then you can use your other arm to get the other side in. But start with the affected side first.
