A complete wrist radiologic examination typically requires a minimum of three standard views: the posteroanterior (PA) view, the lateral view, and the oblique view. These views help to visualize the carpal bones, the distal radius and ulna, and any potential fractures or dislocations. Together, they provide a comprehensive assessment of the wrist's anatomy and any pathological conditions. Additional views may be used if further evaluation is needed.
