Core Tip	Assessing radial head alignment after injury and obtaining perfect lateral radiographs with the elbow at 90° and the forearm in neutral may be difficult. Therefore we designed this study to assess whether the radiocapitellar ratios (RCR) calculated from true lateral radiographs at different positions of elbow flexion and forearm pronosupination differ from those taken in 90° flexion and neutral position. The paper shows that the RCR measurement continues to be an overall valid and reliable method throughout different elbow and forearm positions. However, values in the negative range, > 5% regardless of forearm rotation, should raise suspicion for elbow instability.
