Pseudofracture: An Acute Peripheral Tissue Trauma Model
Published on: April 18, 2011
Abstract:
A study was made of all the X-ray films of elbows taken in a casualty department in 1975, to determine the significance of posterior fat pad displacement. Posterior displacement was always found to indicate a fracture, whereas anterior displacement occasionally occurred without a fracture.
