Background:
Traumatic injuries to the shoulder joint occur both as isolated, especially to the humerus and clavicle, as well as accompanying glenohumeral dislocations.
Aim:
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.
Conclusion:
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.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
