West Point projection

West Point projection
a rare type of radiographic projection for evaluation of an unstable or repeatedly dislocating shoulder that may have a subtle condition such as the Hill-Sachs lesion. The patient lies prone with the affected upper limb abducted and the forearm hanging off the table; the central ray enters in the scapular region at an angle from the rear to visualize scapular and shoulder structures.
