"The view is best for evaluating the glenohumeral joint for dislocations and trauma to the glenoid of the scapula; this projection can be used as a replacement to the lateral scapula view in trauma, however, interpretation is difficult. The angle of the beam means it is tangential to the anterior-inferior glenoid rim (great for Bankart fractures) and gives a better view of the posterior humeral head (ideal for Hill-Sachs defect) 1,3."
"the patient is turned toward the affected side to show the glenohumeral joint space; this is achieved by rotating the patient 30-45°"
