This letter provides a critical commentary on the recent article by Hachadorian et al. entitled "Assessing glenoid orientation on the axillary view: a novel technique using the posterolateral acromion-to-coracoid line." The authors introduced the posterolateral acromion-to-coracoid (PLAC) line as a reproducible reference for assessing glenoid version on axillary radiographs, demonstrating excellent reliability and strong correlation with 3D CT measurements. We highlight the clinical significance of this technique as a cost-effective and radiation-sparing alternative for postoperative evaluation of glenoid orientation. Furthermore, we suggest extending validation to postoperative cases, quantifying projection-related errors, and exploring AI-assisted automation for landmark detection. This work represents a valuable step toward standardized radiographic assessment following shoulder arthroplasty.
