Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The lesser tubercle is best demonstrated in profile on a lateral humeral projection, a transthoracic lateral proximal humeral projection, and an inferosuperior axial shoulder projection. These views position the lesser tubercle in such a way that it is clearly visible, unlike the neutral AP shoulder projection which does not specifically profile the lesser tubercle.
