Bilateral Zanca radiograph demonstrating a left acromioclavicular joint dislocation. The coracoclavicular distance is measured as the vertical distance between the superior margin of the coracoid and the inferior margin of the clavicle. Relative displacement is made by comparing the coracoclavicular distance of the injured side (a) with the uninjured side (b). Image adapted from Trainer et al [111].
