title: [Traumatic bone and cartilage injuries of the shoulder].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Traumatic injuries to the shoulder joint occur both as isolated, especially to the humerus and clavicle, as well as accompanying glenohumeral dislocations.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To give an overview of the main approach of diagnostic imaging of the more common traumatic injuries to bone and/or cartilage of the shoulder joint. Only the scapula, proximal humerus and lateral clavicle are covered.
  
  
  METHODS
  In this overview radiography (RG), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are considered. Sonography is not included.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The radiological report has to correctly identify injuries and describe their extent but the use of classification schemes is strongly dependent on local procedural practices.
