ABSTRACT
Positioning for lateral projection of hallux. https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781315382210/8ca82e7c-bd07-4171-b4f5-ebaded57b5b3/content/fig2_86a.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
From the dorsi-plantar position, the foot is rotated medially until the medial aspect of the hallux is in contact with the receptor.
A bandage is placed around the remaining toes (provided no injury is suspected) and they are gently pulled forwards by the patient to clear the hallux.
Alternatively, they may be pulled backwards. This shows the metatarso-phalangeal joint more clearly.
