A technique is described that greatly reduces the problems inherent in obtaining clear radiographs of the fingers. The method is simple, inexpensive, and readily available for use in the operating room. Additionally, it allows the surgeon to leave the operative field and stand behind a lead shield while radiographs are taken.
