the fingers were slightly cuffed
the hand was not supinated
the forearm was not parallel to the image receptor
the humerus and forearm were not on the same plane
the hand was not supinated
Rationale: Supination of the hand is necessary to prevent radial and ulnar crossover. Supination of the hand will place the radius and ulna parallel to one another for better imaging.
