Positioning for lateral forearm projection. https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781315382210/8ca82e7c-bd07-4171-b4f5-ebaded57b5b3/content/fig2_35a.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
From the antero-posterior position, the elbow is flexed to 90 degrees.
The humerus is internally rotated to 90 degrees to bring the medial aspect of the upper arm, elbow, forearm, wrist and hand in contact with the table.
The image receptor is placed under the forearm to include the wrist joint and the elbow joint.
The arm is adjusted such that the radial and ulnar styloid processes and the medial and lateral epicondyles are superimposed.
The lower end of the humerus and the hand are immobilised using sandbags.
