Which projection/position of the shoulder will demonstrate the greater tubercle in profile laterally?
AP internal rotation
AP neutral rotation
AP external rotation
AP oblique
AP external rotation
Rationale: Nontrauma imaging of the shoulder routinely uses two AP projections, one with the arm in external rotation and one with the arm in internal rotation. This change in position of the arm shifts visibility of the greater and lesser tubercles.
