I know I haven't done many drawings lately, which may be why my artistic skills have been starting to deteriorate. Any guesses what this drawing I did for a patient yesterday is supposed to represent. Bonus points if you can guess the actual pathology:
# NOF?
ReplyDeleteA vascular necrosis of the femoral head?
ReplyDeleteTrochanteric fracture. Picture is very clearly the femur connecting with the pelvis. Better drawing than I could do!
ReplyDeleteFemoral neck fracture.
ReplyDeleteFemoral head fracture secondary to a vascular necrosis?
ReplyDeletefemoral neck fx
ReplyDeleteSince no one guess this yet -- slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE).
ReplyDeleteserpiginous line at the head looks like osteonec. but the straight line makes me think fem. neck fx
ReplyDeleteOsteonecrosis of femoral head. Plus, femoral neck fracture
ReplyDeleteThe anatomy is correct. But that line that sort of looks like a femoral neck fracture is actually just a stray pen mark and not pathology.
ReplyDeleteIf you flip it upside down, it looks like someone stubbing their toe.
ReplyDeleteI also just learned that if you take a map of the Michigan and southern Ontario area and rotate it on its side, southern Ontario looks like an elephant with its trunk raised.
I'm going to defy common sense and say pelvic stress fracture.
ReplyDeleteDegradation of the femoral head due to osteoporosis?
ReplyDeletefibrous dysplasia
ReplyDeleteBlack dot is an osteophyte in a bad case of osteoarthritis of hip joint? And you were explaining hip replacement!?
ReplyDeleteNot a femoral neck fracture. Okay. Then this patient has acute Straypenmark Syndrome.
ReplyDeleteCan I have an order for 2cc of Wite-Out?
Fibrous dysplasia??? I dunno wats this
ReplyDeleteA pellet from an old shotgun blast had lodged in the femoral head and is causing extensive wear after all these years.
ReplyDeletefemoral acetetubular impingement?
ReplyDeleteThe answer is that there was a bone fragment in the fovea.
ReplyDeleteSoooo.... Me the other day (neurology senior), trying to be a smart ass, to the orthopods looking at an X-ray: "hey did you know there's a nail in that elbow??"
ReplyDeleteOrthos: "....this a knee. You can tell, because it has a knee cap."
Me: "Oh."
