Anatomy |
|
It is essential to get two views of the shoulder. (see
below)
Posterior dislocations are still being missed!!! (see
look and learn shoulder)
|
If unsure on the lateral scapula view, get an axillary view.
This is possible even in the presence of upper limb trauma, a
modified axillary view
is an option |
