A member asked:
Is there a legitimate reason to order an x-ray for shoulder injury when an mri has already been done?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Xrays of shoulder jt: After shoulder injury, MRI will pick up soft tissue injury but it may miss fracture. Xrays are often done to rule out fracture of bones which make up the shoulder joint.
