Cause of shoulder pain, I asked ChatGPT...Himchan Hospital Reveals Diagnostic Process YouTube

Apr 21, 2025

Himchan Hospital unveiled the process of accurately diagnosing patients who cannot move their arms due to severe shoulder pain through the YouTube channel section. In this process, it added more fun by using interactive AI.

In the video released on the 21st, Lee Soo-chan, CEO of Himchan Hospital, and Choi Kyung-won, director of orthopedics, set out to find the cause of pain for patients in their 80s who visited the hospital due to severe shoulder pain.

Accurate diagnosis is a very important first step in treatment because it determines the direction of treatment by identifying the cause and condition of the disease. In order to determine the cause of shoulder pain, an imaging test should be performed basically. However, even the same MRI or X-ray test results may have different interpretations depending on the doctor, which may affect diagnosis and treatment direction, and even results.




A female patient in her 80s who was introduced as a case has relied on injection treatment for severe shoulder pain that began a year ago. Initially, the arm could be used painlessly for several months after injection treatment, but the duration of the effect gradually became shorter, and even that was useless from two to three weeks ago. Eventually, he visited Director Choi Kyung-won due to extreme pain that he had never experienced before. The patient was diagnosed as a tumor at a university hospital, but Choi weighed in on the possibility of bone necrosis based on the findings of bone edema.

In particular, in this video, Choi showed an interesting way to derive a diagnosis using an interactive AI called 'Chat GPT'. It has amplified the question of what AI, which has learned related knowledge through many discussions, will give.

In the next video, which will be released on the 25th, the patient's final diagnosis and surgery will be introduced in detail. Director Choi will explain the three reasons for the final diagnosis of osteonecrosis with MRI images and show in detail the process of retrograde artificial joint replacement.




Osteonecrosis is a degenerative disease in which bone cells or tissues die, causing serious pain as the bone deforms. In the case of the patient, it was difficult to save the joint due to severe shoulder joint damage, and since he was an elderly patient with rotator cuff rupture, retrograde artificial joint replacement was performed.

Director Choi explained, "Reflective artificial joint replacement is a surgical method designed to insert an artificial joint of the opposite shape to the anatomical structure of the shoulder joint, so that the trigonometric muscle can lift the arm instead of the ruptured rotator cuff tendon. We can expect a good prognosis while solving joint deformation and tendon rupture that are difficult to completely heal with a single operation."
