Acromioclavicular joint dislocations are common. Differentiating between horizontal and vertical instability is challenging, but possible to diagnose on axial radiographs. No clear consensus for axial radiograph parameters currently exists. We aim to establish a reproducible technique to assess whether an axial radiograph represents a true axial view of the shoulder.
