From the postero-anterior position, the hand is externally rotated by 90 degrees.

The palm of the hand is perpendicular to the image receptor, with the fingers extended and the thumb abducted and supported parallel to the image receptor on a non-opaque pad.

The radial and ulnar styloid processes are superimposed.
