Abstract
Arthrography of the shoulder is a valuable diagnostic method in the investigation of the glenohumeral joint. But there are few reports of the findings of the normal shoulder arthography. In this paper, we performed single contrast shoulder arthrography in fifteen shoulders of ten normal healthy volunteers to compare the findings of scapular view with those of anteroposterior view and those of west Point view with those of axillary view.
Scapular view is helpful in outlining the glenohumeral articular surfaces and evaluating arthrographic changes in any shoulder positions because the scapula is always fixed and the glenoid is tangentially visualized.
In single contrast artrography, west Point view is not superior to axillary view to outline the anterior labrum.
