Elbow injury: a new imaging approach.
The authors describe a new technique for evaluating traumatic conditions to the elbow: the radial head-capitellum view. This projection has proved useful in demonstrating minimally displaced or nondisplaced fractures of the radial head, capitellum, and coronoid process. The radial head-capitellum view not only delineates the fracture, it also defines the extent of displacement.
