GRASHEY VIEW🔰:
•Grashey view Also Known as True AP shoulder is a special X-ray view for the shoulder, obtained by rotating the patient's body 35-45 degrees backward so the scapula (shoulder blade) aligns with the detector, providing a clear, tangential view of the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint...
•It is very ideal for checking joint space, arthritis, subtle dislocations, or glenoid rim fractures, unlike standard AP views that often obscure these issues with humeral head overlap...
POSITIONING🔰:
•The patient lies on their back (supine) or stands facing the X-ray detector...
•He/ She should rotate their body backward (posteriorly) by 35 to 45 degrees...
•This positioning makes the plane of the scapula parallel to the detector...
