[Value of the transscapular view in radiological of shoulder trauma (author's transl)].

With a one year experience concerning 67 patients, the authors suggest to use for any shoulder trauma, a transscapular view associated with the routine antero postereiur film of the shoulder. This incidence has a major advantage on all the other lateral positions to be always possible at the exclusion of severely polytraumatised patients. Luxations of the shoulder, humerus and scapula fractures and lesions of acromio clavicular joints are quite correctly visualized.
