Which projection of the shoulder will demonstrate the lesser tubercle in profile?In the AP projection of the shoulder, the greater tubercle is in profile, laterally, when the humerus is in external rotation. In the AP projection of the shoulder the lesser tubercle is in profile medially, when the humerus is in internal rotation.
Which of the following position and structure the lesser tubercle is visualized in profile?The lesser tubercle of the humerus will be visualized in profile in the: AP shoulder internal rotation radiograph.
