Pseudopathologic hip fracture: anatomic explanation.

Fracture of the hip may result in external rotation of the femoral diaphysis. When this occurs the proximal diaphysis may appear homogeneously dense, particularly in elderly woman. Computed tomography shows that the misleading appearance is due to variations in cortical thickness anteroposteriorly and mediolaterally. This finding is important as this appearance of the femur must be distinguished from a pathologic fracture.

Intravenous lidocaine: an effective analgesic for lower extremity venography.

Lidocaine (60 mg/100 ml) was added to contrast medium (120 ml of Conray-60) in an attempt to decrease pain associated with leg venography in 100 patients. No side effects were seen, and there was a marked reduction in pain as reported by four different examiners in two separate hospital populations.

Validity of the sesamoid index in the diagnosis of acromegaly.

Sesamoid indices of 100 control and 10 acromegalic subjects were determined and the results compared with previous studies. It was found that a substantial overlap of values exists between the two groups and that the range of values for both groups is substantially wider than previous studies have indicated.
