The AP oblique projection (Grashey method) demonstrates the glenohumeral joint with an open joint space and the glenoid process in profile. This projection is achieved by rotating the patient 35-45 degrees toward the affected side and elevating the arm to 90 degrees, which allows for a true lateral view of the glenoid fossa. The other projections do not provide a clear view of the glenoid process in profile.
