Technical note: Shoulder subluxation as a complication of positioning during CT

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Previously unreported, we note the complication of anterior shoulder subluxation that occurred secondary to patient positioning during chest CT examination. Positioning a patient's arms abducted and externally rotated over the head can precipitate anterior shoulder subluxation in patients with anterior shoulder instability.
