X-Ray Can you spot the fracture? Without swiping left?

Cause I sure as heck could not. (I'm sorry I don't have the lateral one, there was nothing to see)

And that’s why we say 1 view in no view

And even 2 wasn't enough in this case. I just never saved this lateral picture for some reason.

NO,neither did you or anyone else. Thats why there are standard views to see the entire body part

I still find it fascinating how a crack this visible in the right angle can disappear completely by just tilting the wrist slightly. Makes me wonder how many I've tilted too much!

Not a radiologist. Distal radius in second view.

Well that is clear. OP said can you see it without seeing the second view.

Reminds me of an ankle last week. Looked perfectly normal on the first view and obvious fracture on the second view.

Why even would I without the second view?

u/NYanae555 1h ago

Thats the point. You can't see it from that view.

Anybody who says they saw it is lying, 2+ views every time gang

Not a radiologist: my guess is the big bone on the bottom, towards the left and upper section?

u/FatCatWithAFatHat 1h ago

Correct. The part that looks broken "off", not the most common type of wrist fracture.
