A Practical Method for Obtaining True Lateral Elbow X-rays in a Paediatric Age Group: Lateral Elbow X-ray in the Standing Salute Position.

It is clear that radiographs taken in appropriate positions decreases diagnostic errors. In our study, the ratio of correct lateral radiographs was significantly higher in the radiograph group in the standing salute position, suggesting this method was safe for accurate lateral radiographs, in accordance with our hypothesis.
