For the radiographic study of the shoulder, the member rises in extent, so that flex the elbow and extend the shoulder.
Projections
- In the projection lateromedial (LM) is placed on the horse in the aforementioned position and the beam is directed toward the shoulder. This view we use to assess the humeral head, OCD lesions that may present a flattening of the medial aspect of it.

- Craneomedial caudolateral oblique projection (CrMCLO) is performed like the lateromedial but directing the beam 20 ° to the horizontal. This projection allows us to observe the two tuberosities of the proximal humerus skull face.
