The authors describe a modified radiological lateral view according to the points of tangency of the radial articular surface. The view allows the separate study of the radio-scaphoïd and the radiolunate joint spaces, which are otherwise superimposed on a classical side view. This view has a clinical interest especially when treating malunion deformities.
