"The supine lateral scapula view (anterior oblique AP) is a modified lateral shoulder projection often utilised in trauma imaging. Orthogonal to the AP shoulder (note so is an axillary view); It is a pertinent projection to assess suspected dislocations, scapula fractures and degenerative changes."

"The supine lateral view is performed to identify dislocations and scapula fractures when patients are unable to stand or sit for shoulder imaging but able to roll whilst being supine. If patients are unable to roll, the modified supine lateral view can be performed instead."
"Over rotation in this projection refers to the patient's affected side sitting too far away from the image receptor, otherwise known as lying ‘too square’ to the detector."
"Over rotation is clearly established as the lateral border of the scapular (significantly thicker than the medial) is projected over the thorax along with the humeral head; to adjust this, rotate the affected side towards the image receptor slightly."
"Under rotation in this projection refers to the patient's affected side sitting too close to the image receptor, otherwise known as lying ‘flat’ to the detector."
"The lateral border, as well as the humeral head, will be sitting overly lateral in the image; to fix this, rotate the affected side away from the detector to increase obliquity."
