Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a PA oblique scapular Y shoulder projection is obtained with the patient overrotated, it will demonstrate the glenoid fossa medially (1) and the lateral scapular border closer to the ribs than the medial scapular border (4). Option 2 is incorrect, as the medial scapular border will be closer to the ribs than the lateral scapular border due to the overrotation. Option 3 is also incorrect, as the superior scapular angle will be inferior to the clavicle due to the overrotation. Therefore, the correct answer is B, which includes options 1 and 4.
