title: Plane talk about shoulder radiographs.
abstract: The evaluation of patients who have pain, loss of motion, instability, or weakness in the shoulder is often enhanced by x-ray assessment. A common approach to radiographic examination of the shoulder is to take two anteroposterior (AP) views, one with the humerus in external rotation and one with the humerus in internal rotation.
