"the hand is sitting 'too high' and is typically corrected if you lower the hand."
"external rotation is evident via the capitellum is projecting anteriorly in addition to the medial condyle moving posterior, creating a double concave like protuberance. That is alleviated via placing the side in questions arm on a small foam block, essentially raising the hand to ensure all aspects of the upper limb are in the same plane."
"The projection is the orthogonal view of the AP elbow allowing for examination of the ulna-trochlear joint, coronoid process, and the olecranon process. It is used to assess both the anterior humeral and the radiocapitellar line."
"SID"
"The AP projection of the elbow will show the radial tuberosity in profile, to get a lateral view of the proximal radius it is important to have the forearm halfway between supination and pronation (thumb pointing up)."

"Positional errors"
"the shoulder, elbow and wrist are kept in the same horizontal plane (see figure 1)"
"It is worth learning the anatomical and radiological appearances of the capitellum, trochlea and the medial epicondyle to assess the optimal lateral elbow. An excellent tool for identifying the capitellar is making use of the radiocapitellar line, the middle of the radial head transects the capitellum unless there is pathology such as a dislocation."
