  Glenohumeral Joint Dislocation on Chest X-ray: A Radiologic Perspective Abstract Glenohumeral dislocation, the most common type of joint dislocation in the human body, is frequently encountered in emergency and orthopedic settings. Although shoulder radiography is the gold standard, chest radiography (CXR) may incidentally capture dislocations and should not be overlooked, particularly in trauma contexts.  Introduction Shoulder dislocation is a frequent orthopedic emergency, with anterior glenohumeral dislocations accounting for 95% of all shoulder dislocations. While dedicated shoulder views such as the AP , axillary , and scapular Y views are standard for assessment, incidental findings on chest radiography can offer critical diagnostic clues, especially in trauma evaluations where a chest X-ray may precede targeted imaging. In this column, we analyze a classic case of anterior shoulder dislocation visible on a chest X-ray , delve into the radiologic interpretatio...
