Summary

This study aims to develop a simple clinical tool to help doctors decide if a shoulder injury needs an X-ray. Many patients get X-rays even when fractures are unlikely, causing delays and extra costs. Researchers will test this tool in over 1,200 adults with recent shoulder trauma to see if it can safely rule out fractures without imaging.
