Modified lateral wrist

Hi Michael,

I have noticed that there is a link to an article called about fixation screws impinging on wrist joints. I am hoping you are going to discussed a modified lateral wrist where the elbow is flexed 15 degrees raising the wrist joint from the plate and opening the joint between radius/ulnar and carpals. Perhaps this is still under construction but just wanted to note that I am really keen to see matching images as I have heard this view is done at some of our centres but I haven't seen any images yet. I am going to attempt this view in a lab next week but I suspect our wrist phantoms are not quite accurate enough to acheive the view.

Cheers,

Rachel Do you find this valuable?
