Positioning for posterior oblique scaphoid 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_65a.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>

From the anterior oblique position, the hand and wrist are rotated externally through 90 degrees, such that the posterior aspect of the hand and wrist are at 45 degrees to the image receptor.

The wrist is then supported on a 45-degree non-opaque foam pad.

The forearm is immobilised using a sandbag.
