Radiocapitellar Line
Summary:
- The radiocapitellar line is made by a line passing through the middle of the radius where it should pass through the capitellum.
- It should also intersect with the anterior humeral line within the capitellum.
- This radiographic line is used when assessing for the presence of a radial bone fracture or radial head dislocation.
