Shoulder anatomy
• 3 bones:– Humerus– Scapula– Clavicle
• 3 joints:– Glenohumeral– Sternoclavicular– Acromioclavicular

Scapula Anatomy
• Scapula:– Glenoid– Acromion– Coracoid
Coracoid

Routine (transthoracic) AP view of the shoulder
• AP relative to thorax• Suboptimal view of
glenohumeral joint• Good view of AC joint
![Page 6: Shoulder radiography](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6c4134a7959e9548b4568/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Scapular/Glenohumeral AP view (aka Oblique view)
• Better visualize Glenohumeral joint/space
• Suboptimal view of AC joint

Lateral Scapula “Y” view
• Evaluate relationship of humeral head with glenoid– Humeral head should be
at bifurcation of the Y

Axillary view
• Not routinely performed
• Good for evaluating anterior-posterior relationship of glenohumeral joint

Anterior dislocation

Anterior dislocation
• Make up 96% of all shoulder dislocations• May be associated with: – Fracture of greater tuberosity (15%)– Bankart lesion • Fracture of anterior glenoid rim
– Hill-Sachs defect (50%) • Impaction fracture of posterolateral humeral head 2/2
impaction of humeral head against glenoid during dislocation

Answer: posterior dislocation
![Page 18: Shoulder radiography](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6c4134a7959e9548b4568/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Posterior dislocation
• Makes up about 2-4% of dislocations, may be associated w/ convulsive seizure (boards question)
• Common Xray findings:– Rim sign (66%) = distance between medial border of
humeral head and anterior glenoid rim >6 mm– Lightbulb sign = Humeral head held in internal
rotation, appearing bulb-like on AP view– Trough sign (75%) = "reverse Hill-Sachs" = compression
fracture of anteromedial humeral head

Inferior dislocation, “Luxatio Erecta”
Accounts for 1-2% of shoulder dislocations,Arm often held above headResults from severe hyperabduction of arm

Acromioclavicular separation, grade III
![Page 24: Shoulder radiography](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6c4134a7959e9548b4568/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
AC separation
Treatment:Grade I-II: always conservativeGrade III: usually conservative, surgical in few cases (young athlete, laborer who does a lot of lifting, etc)Grade IV-VI: surgical

Clavicle fracture
Fracture
80% of fractures in middle third, 15% in distal third, 5% medial thirdTreatment mostly conservativeSurgical mgmt if open fracture, severe skin tenting, neurovascular injury or severely comminuted/displaced fractures
