When taking an AP projection of the shoulder, the humerus is commonly externally rotated, with the arm being extended at the elbow and supinated in the forearm. The greater tubercle is positioned laterally on the image, while the lesser tubercle is more anteriorly. Epicondyles of the humerus are parallel to the image receptor in this instance of imaging.
