"The posteroanterior ulnar deviation scaphoid view is part of a four view series of the scaphoid, wrist and surrounding carpal bones. Although performed PA, the view can often be referred to as an AP view. The view is performed with the wrist in ulnar deviation to free the scaphoid from bony superimposition."

"As scaphoid fractures are associated with FOOSH injuries, it is desirable in the acute setting to collimate to include the wrist in the PA view, covering all areas around the scaphoid that could be the source of pain. In a follow-up radiograph, coning down to the scaphoid is preferred."

"Ulnar deviation is necessary as it moves the scaphoid away from the radius and rotates it in the palmar aspect, minimising superimposition and achieving a pure PA projection 1-3. Patients with a fractured scaphoid can have difficulty with ulnar deviation due to significant pain; only deviate as much as the patient can tolerate."
