Elbow Simulation

Quick reference

Question	What to expect
Which projections are confirmed?	PA, lateral, and oblique elbow views.
Can users try other projections?	Yes. These are confirmed examples. Other projections may be possible when the simulated setup supports them.
What anatomy is included?	Humerus, radius, and ulna.
What setup is used?	Free-plating detector workflow.
What movement is included?	Shoulder internal/external rotation, elbow flexion/extension, and patient anteroposterior and mediolateral adjustment.
What bone variations exist?	Healthy bone version, distal humerus fracture, radial head fracture, and ulnar olecranon fracture.
Known limitation	Forearm supination and pronation are not included.

Projection expectations

The projections listed on this page are confirmed examples for this simulation module. They do not define the full limit of what can be attempted. The simulator creates an image from the selected anatomy, patient position, joint movement, detector setup, tube position, collimation, and exposure settings, so other projections may be possible when the setup supports them.
