Anatomy coverage

Distal phalanx through entire metacarpal.

Tech pearls

  • Use a sponge wedge for the oblique to keep the finger parallel to the detector.
  • On lateral, fan or flex the other digits out of the way.

Image evaluation

  • Open IP and MCP joints
  • No rotation: equal soft tissue on both sides
  • Concavity of phalangeal shafts equal

Common mistakes

  • Not isolating the digit
  • Closed joint spaces from finger flexion

Trauma modifications

  • Image in position of comfort if unable to extend; document modification.
