[Plain radiographs of the wrist and hand].
The purpose of this review is to describe the value of the different radiographic projections of the wrist and hand, provide criteria for quality control and key interpretation points. Plain radiographs of the hand and wrist are still, in this era of cross-sectional imaging, of great importance in the assessment and understanding of bone and joint disorders, particularly in the setting of trauma. Indeed postero-anterior and lateral views have to be completed with additional projections depending on the suspected lesion and clinical presentation.
