There is a rdiolucent defect in the caudal third of the rt humeral head compatible with osteochondrosis. Possibly a trauma during the frisbee time precipitated the manifestation of symptoms.

I agree with “ringo”, however, I see the radiolucent defect on both humeral heads.

Irregular osteolucency of the caudal 1/3rd of humeral head bilaterally indicating bilateral osteochondrosis of the humeral head.

Given the developmental orthopedic disease in the shoulders, what do you think about the elbows? Where would you look?
