Apical Oblique View

In order to obtain this view, the patient is exam-


ined, either standing or horizontal, in a posterior
oblique position (45°) relative to the X-ray tube
(Fig. 1.7. This can be easily obtained by rotating the
unexamined shoulder away from the cassette. The
X-ray beam is tilted at approximately 45° of caudal
angulation and centred on the glenohumeral space
(Garth et al. 1984). Although the apical oblique
projection is not a true axial view like the axil-
lary view, it is useful in estimating the relationship
between the humeral head and the glenoid fossa. In
normal cases the humeral head is at the same level
of the glenoid fossa. Because of the cranio-caudal
and anteroposterior direction of the incident beam,
displacement of the head in the axial plane can be
diagnosed. A posteriorly dislocated humeral head
projects superior to the glenoid cavity, while in ante-
rior dislocation it projects inferior to it (Sloth and
Just 1989). This projection effectively images the
anteroinferior aspect of the anterior glenoid rim as
