The forearm series comprises an anteroposterior and lateral projection. The series examines the entire radius and ulna including articulations distally and proximal.
The forearm AP view is one of two standard projections in the forearm series to assess the radius and ulna. This view demonstrates the elbow joint in its natural anatomical position allowing for assessment of suspected dislocations or fractures and localizing foreign bodies within the forearm.
A forearm series (or forearm x-ray) is a much less common study to perform than its neighboring elbow or wrist series. Forearm imaging may be performed in children because of difficulty to localize pain, or where there has been focal trauma to the forearm.
A forearm X-ray is a test that takes a picture of a person’s forearm, the area that includes the elbow, ulna, radius, and wrists. It involves taking two pictures — one depicts the side view (lateral projection), and the other shows the front view (anteroposterior or AP projection).
Learn about fractures of the forearm. Radius and ulna fractures as seen on X-ray. Colles fracture, and Smith fracture as seen on X-ray.
Xray of the Forearm (Radius and Ulna) AP view. Fracture and dislocation are demonstrated including pathologies like arthritis and osteomyelitis. Bones of the forearm are the radius and ulna.

A forearm X-ray can help doctors find the cause of pain, tenderness, swelling, or deformity of the forearm. It can show broken bones or dislocated joints. After a broken bone has been set, an X-ray can show if the bones are aligned and if they have healed properly.
