Florian Nickisch, MD, from the University of Utah, Department of Orthopaedic Two tests demonstrated strong diagnostic utility, the patellar-pubic percussion test for excluding radiologically occult hip fractures and the hip abduction sign for diagnosing sarcoglycanopathies in patients with known muscular dystrophies. In addition a technetium bone scan or MRI may be required to detect a periosteal stress reaction or fracture.

Online Feb. 10 Several factors could predispose patients older than 60 years to have further injury found on MRI but missed on CT scans after cervical spine fractures 19 percent of the changes were related to occult instability on the MRI. Factors that predisposed E-mail: orisathadassah.org.il On the basis of the assumption that an occult hip fracture should be accompanied by surrounding soft tissue swelling or hematoma, we hypothesized that sonography might be an effective screening tool in radiographically However, MRI was able to detect additional soft tissue injuries, which in some cases led to further imaging studies that detected healing and occult fractures. The ability to detect healing fractures and injuries of different ages is often considered .
