The patient is seated alongside the table, with the affected side nearest to the table.
The arm is abducted and the elbow joint fully extended, with the supinated forearm resting on the table.
The shoulder is lowered to the same level as the elbow joint.
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 equidistant from the image receptor.
The lower end of the humerus and the hand are immobilised using sandbags.
