I find the education very useful. Case 1 is a real case of accurate positioning and this shows that good positioning can reveal subtle anomalies. However, I would like to point out something concerning case 4. On the lateral view
though you indicated correctly that the proximal surface of the lunate was not articulating with the articular surface of the distal radius which you indicated that it was due to previous fracture which is clearly the case. My point is that on the lateral view of the plain film it was clear that the capitate was not articulating with the distal surface of the lunate. Since it was evident even on the plain film, was it still necessary to have gone ahead for CT?
