Definitive diagnosis of<unk> s is typically made through radiographic imaging. For proximal<unk> s, X-rays can be taken from a scapular anteroposterior (AP) view, which takes an image of the front of the shoulder region from an angle, a scapular Y view, which takes an image of the back of the shoulder region from an angle, and an axillar lateral view, which has the patient lie on his or her back, lift the bottom half of the arm up to the side, and have an image taken of the axilla region underneath the shoulder.<unk> s of the<unk>  shaft are usually correctly identified with radiographic images taken from the AP and lateral viewpoints. Damage to the radial nerve from a shaft<unk>  can be identified by an inability to bend the hand backwards or by decreased sensation in the back of the hand. Images of the distal region are often of poor quality due to the patient being unable to extend the elbow because of pain. If a severe distal<unk>  is suspected, then a computed tomography (CT) scan can provide greater detail of the<unk> . Nondisplaced distal<unk> s may not be directly visible; they may only be visible due to fat being displaced because of internal bleeding in the elbow.

There are three locations that<unk> s occur: at the proximal location, which is the top of the<unk>  near the shoulder, in the middle, which is at the shaft of the<unk> , and the distal location, which is the bottom of the<unk>  near the elbow. Proximal<unk> s are classified into one of four types of<unk> s based on the displacement of the greater tubercle, the lesser tubercle, the surgical neck, and the anatomical neck, which are the four parts of the proximal<unk> , with<unk>  displacement being defined as at least one centimeter of separation or an angulation greater than 45 degrees. One-part<unk> s involve no displacement of any parts of the<unk> , two-part<unk> s have one part displaced relative to the other three; three-part<unk> s have two displaced fragments, and four-part<unk> s have all fragments displaced from each other.<unk> s of the<unk>  shaft are subdivided into transverse<unk> s, spiral<unk> s, "butterfly"<unk> s, which are a combination of transverse and spiral<unk> s, and pathological<unk> s, which are<unk> s caused by medical conditions. Distal<unk> s are split between supracondylar<unk> s, which are transverse<unk> s above the two condyles at the bottom of the<unk> , and intercondylar<unk> s, which involve a T- or Y-shaped<unk>  that splits the condyles.
