A. True AP view
B. Transcapular lateral view
C. Axillary lateral view
D. Scapular Y view
E. Serendipity view
Answer : C. Axillary lateral view
Discussion: The patient probably has a posterior shoulder dislocation based on the seizure history and his presentation of shoulder pain with an adducted and internally rotated arm. The first three views listed in the question (true AP, transcapular, and axillary lateral) should all be obtained for shoulder traumas. The axillary lateral view, however, is important to confirm the diagnosis of glenohumeral dislocation, especially posterior type.
