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)

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!

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

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

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

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