Fractures to the shoulder girdle are common injuries in an aging population. Many techniques and theories lie behind the treatment of such injuries. Knowledge and understanding of current concepts for diagnosing and treating proximal humeral, clavicular, and scapular fractures and the theory behind them will help surgeons make informed decisions with regard to patient care.

Introduction: A chest radiograph (CXR), whether supine or upright, is the primary tool for assessing blunt thoracic and abdominal trauma. Thoracic injuries often come with shoulder girdle injuries such as scapular or clavicular fractures, and acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocations. The Zanca view is standard for diagnosing ACJ dislocation.
