This study has two primary aims: 1) to determine whether a novel wrist x-ray positioning aid can be implemented within 3 different healthcare centers in Newfoundland and Labrador, and 2) to determine the ability of the tool to improve patient positioning in wrist x-rays. It will also learn about the number of repeat x-rays required with or without the use of the tool and radiographer confidence. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Researchers will compare x-rays before and after the implementation of the tool as well as between centers.
Technologist participants will:

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Urban hospital | Experimental | Radiographs will be retrospectively collected and compared to radiographs captured after the implementation of the tool. Additional radiographs will be collected over a 6-month follow-up period. |
|
| Rural health center | Experimental | Radiographs will be retrospectively collected and compared to radiographs captured after the implementation of the tool. Additional radiographs will be collected over a 6-month follow-up period. |
