==General screening==
In emergent exams, exclude fractures (see [[X-ray of fractures]]) and misalignment.
Misalignment can be in the form of dislocation, while a superior movement of the humerus in the joint indicates a rotator cuff tear. Further reading:

Non-emergent exams generally only need to answer the requests on the referral.
In case of findings in the acromioclavicular joint, consider specific [[X-ray of the acromioclavicular joint]].
