Background: Accurate assessment of the critical shoulder angle (CSA) is important in clinical evaluation of degenerative rotator cuff tears. This study analyzed the influence of radiographic viewing perspective on the CSA, developed a classification system to identify malpositioned radiographs, and assessed the relationship between the CSA and demographic factors. Methods: Glenoid height, width, and retroversion were measured on 3-dimensional computed tomography reconstructions of 68 cadaver scapulae. A digitally reconstructed radiograph was aligned perpendicular to the scapular plane, and retroversion was corrected to obtain a true anteroposterior (AP) view. In 10 scapulae, incremental anteversion/ retroversion and flexion/ extension views were generated. The CSA was measured, and a clinically applicable classification system was developed to detect views with >2 degrees change in CSA vs. true AP view. Results: The average CSA was 33 degrees +/- 4 degrees. Intraobserver and interobserver reliability was high (intraclass correlation coefficient >= 0.81) but decreased with increasing viewing angle. Views beyond 5 degrees anteversion, 8 degrees retroversion, 15 degrees flexion, and 26 degrees extension resulted in >2 degrees deviation of the CSA compared with the true AP view. The classification system was capable of detecting aberrant viewing perspectives with sensitivity of 95% and specificity of 53%. Correlations between glenoid size and CSA were small (R <= 0.3), and CSA did not vary by gender (P = .426) or side (P = .821). Conclusions: The CSA was most susceptible to malposition in anteversion/ retroversion. Deviations as little as 5 degrees in anteversion resulted in a CSA >2 degrees from true AP view. A new classification system refines the ability to collect true AP radiographs of the scapula. The CSA was unaffected by demographic factors.
