Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Grashey method is the best choice for demonstrating the glenoid cavity in profile. This projection is performed with the patient in a 45-degree oblique position, allowing the humeral head to be projected laterally and the glenoid cavity to be seen in profile. The other options, such as the Clements modification and Garth method, may show the glenoid cavity, but they are not specifically designed to demonstrate it in profile.
