[Elbow: plain radiographs].
Plain radiographs usually allow accurate diagnosis. In this paper, the main radiographic projections will be reviewed along with their normal imaging features. In spite of significant advances in imaging of the elbow (multiplanar capabilities of MRI, volumetric CT imaging), conventional radiographs of the elbow remain a firstline imaging technique in the evaluation of disorders of the elbow.
