Anatomy coverage

Glenohumeral joint, proximal humerus.

Tech pearls

  • Scapular Y is the workhorse — diagnoses dislocations clearly.
  • Transthoracic: have patient gently breathe to blur ribs and clear the humerus.

Image evaluation

  • No forced rotation
  • Glenohumeral relationship visible

Common mistakes

  • Trying to rotate a dislocated shoulder
  • Inadequate inspiration on transthoracic

Trauma modifications

  • NEVER force rotation in suspected dislocation/fracture.
  • Hill-Sachs view (Stryker notch) once relocated.
