Narrative review highlights diagnostic and prognostic utility of shoulder measurements, despite variability challenges.
This narrative review presents commonly used radiographic parameters in shoulder surgery. The review outlines the historical context, definitions, and evidence regarding diagnostic and prognostic utility of each measurement. Limitations such as variability in imaging technique and lack of standardized measurement protocols are discussed. Despite these constraints, these measurements remain central to evaluating imaging of the shoulder, guiding implant positioning, assessing pathology, and comparing outcomes across studies.
