ABSTRACT
Positioning for antero-posterior elbow 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_21a.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
The patient is seated alongside the table, with the affected side nearest to the table.
The arm is then extended fully, such that the posterior aspect of the entire limb is in contact with the table top and the palm of the hand is facing upwards.
The image receptor is positioned under the elbow joint to include the distal third of humerus and proximal third of the radius and ulna.
The arm is adjusted such that the medial and lateral epicondyles are equidistant from the image receptor.
The limb is immobilised using sandbags.
