Tilted lateral radiographs in the evaluation of intra-articular distal radius fractures

Standardised post-operative radiographs for volar radial plate fixation: the '22/11 X-ray'

“…10 Lundy et al suggested that the 22° lateral view may help better understanding of the intra-articular depression of lunate facet fractures and aid in the subsequent fracture reduction and fixation. 11 Johnson and Szabo recommended tilted lateral views for better assessment especially when there was significant dorsal angulation. 12 Yi et al studied the use of anatomically tilted lateral radiographs on the determination of the restoration of normal volar tilt, finding moderate to excellent reliability but no statistically significant differences compared with standard lateral radiographs.…”

“…11,15,16,18 The method in this study -tilting the X-ray tube to the desired angle -is advantageous in that the patient does not need to be re-positioned between the standard and tilted PA films, and no extra equipment is needed.…”

“…With regard to the best view for such evaluations, and in addition to the conventional views, Lundy et al (6) advocated the lateral view at an elevation of around 22…”

“…The acceptance of the angled lateral view can be extended to perform a similar 10° angled pos- teroanterior (PA) view, to both accurately show the presence of an articular step-off and/or to confi rm the position of subchondral implants, such as screws and K wires [ 34 ].…”
