"The elbow acute flexion AP views are modified elbow AP projections for patients who cannot straighten their arm for examination. It is comprised of two views demonstrating the distal humerus and proximal forearm structures without distortion."
"This is a modified projection (chosen by the radiographer when a conventional AP is not possible) for patients who are unable to straighten their arm due to pain. It is often conducted in the context of suspected supracondylar fractures in younger patients, however, can also be utilised in acute elbow imaging following trauma."
"SID"
"This is not a requestion view, rather a modified projection of the AP view and patient positioning is limited by pain/injury. As patients requiring this projection will be in pain, it is important to physically show the projection before asking them to do it."
