Change: epilecticepileptic fit.PseudosubluxationThis patient has fractures of the neck of humerus and greater tuberosity. The humeral head is subluxed inferiorly and this subluxation is likely to be caused by distention of the joint by haemarthrosis. There is a lipohaemarthrosis of the shoulder joint (white arrow).Lateral Scapula   View changes from previous version. (Word count: 2022)

Change: producing a correctly positioned AP shoulder view.The lateral view image cofirms the anterior dislocation. The patient is leaninmg too far forward resulting in foreshortening of the scapula. This can be corrected with caudal tube angulation if performed PA and cephalic tube angulation if performed AP (or equivalent patient repositioning).   View changes from previous version.
