Distal clavicle fracture

Discussion:

The fracture of the distal clavicle was seen in the shoulder views. However, the displacement of the fracture was better demonstrated on the zanca view. 

The zanca view is performed with a 15 degree cranial angulation, towards the acromioclavicular joint. The slight angulation allows for a better appreciation of the acromioclavicular joint, and in this case, the distal end of the clavicle in demonstration of the fracture displacement.
