DIGITS- DRAFT

PA

■ 1 inch (2.5 cm) on all sides of the digit, including 1 inch (2.5 cm) proximal to MCP joint

■ Seated at end of table, affected upper extremity resting on table; hand pronated, fingers extended

and spread slightly

■ Long axis of digit parallel to plane of IR

■ Perpendicular to PIP joint of digit of interest

LATERAL

■ 1 inch (2.5 cm) on all sides of the digit, including 1 inch (2.5 cm) proximal to MCP joint

■ Seated at end of table, affected upper extremity resting on table; digit extended and rotated to

place as close to IR as possible in lateral position

■ Long axis of digit parallel to plane of IR

■ Perpendicular to PIP joint of digit of interest

PA OBLIQUE

■1 inch (2.5 cm) on all sides of the digit, including 1 inch (2.5 cm) proximal to MCP joint

■ Seated at end of table, affected upper extremity resting on table; pronated digit rotated laterally 45 degrees from IR plane

■ Long axis of digit parallel to plane of IR

■ Perpendicular to PIP joint of digit of interest

AP

■ 1 inch (2.5 cm) on all sides of the digit, including 1 inch (2.5 cm) proximal to CMC joint

■ Seated at end of table, affected upper extremity resting on table; hand in extreme internal rotation

to place posterior surface of thumb on IR

■ Long axis of digit parallel to plane of IR

■ Perpendicular to MCP joint of first digit

PA oblique

■ 1 inch (2.5 cm) on all sides of the digit, including 1 inch (2.5 cm) proximal to CMC joint

■ Seated at end of table, affected upper extremity resting on table; hand pronated and thumb

abducted; should be in 45-degree oblique with IR

■ Long axis of digit parallel to plane of IR

■ Perpendicular to MCP joint of first digit

Lateral

■ 1 inch (2.5 cm) on all sides of the digit, including 1 inch (2.5 cm) proximal to CMC joint

■ Seated at end of table, affected upper extremity resting on table; hand pronated, fingers flexed to

roll thumb laterally into true lateral

■ Long axis of digit parallel to plane of IR

■ Perpendicular to MCP joint of first di
