"We routinely use the STARBoard, radial arm board
designed by Mark Webster (Adept Medical Ltd, Auckland,
New Zealand) with four pivoting joints and a rotating handle that can
be used both for standard and distal radial approach. In the latter case,
the handle is placed vertically so the patient's snuffbox is facing
upward and the wrist extended medially (Figure 3)."
