Supplemental Figure 2. The Internal Rotation Stress Test Application and Assessment. A) The IRST is completed by stabilizing the proximal humeral shaft and applying an internal rotation force by holding at the forearm or wrist. B) A lateral fluoroscopic image is taken to assess the stability of the medial column.
C) A negative, or stable, test will show no translation of the fracture fragment relative to the proximal
