Oct 23, 2024 · The metaphysis is displaced laterally and therefore may not overlap the posterior lip of the acetabulum as it should normally (loss of triangular sign of Capener) 5. The metaphyseal blanch sign, a sign seen on AP views, involves increases in …

Capener’s sign: the posterior displacement of the capital epiphysis lead to the decrease of the overlapped density between ischium and femoral head. (Figure 5)

Capener’s sign: The posterior acetabular margin normally cuts the medial corner of the metaphysis. In slip the whole metaphysis remains lateral to the acetabular margin.

Capener's sign - In a patient with SFCE, the whole metaphysis is lateral to the posterior acetabular margin on an AP view of the pelvis. Normally the posterior acetabular margin will cut across the medial corner of the upper femoral metaphysis [10]

Feb 15, 2024 · The Trethowan sign is used to diagnose slipped capital femoral epiphysis (also called slipped upper femoral epiphysis). In this sign, the line of Klein passes above the femoral head 1. It is best seen on the frontal projection 2. On the AP view of a normal hip, the Klein line intersects a small portion of the lateral capital epiphysis.

Jan 5, 2023 · Capener’s sign (AP X-ray): Entire metaphysis is lateral to posterior acetabular margin (loss of capner’s triangular double density sign created by overlap of proximal metaphysis and posterior acetabulum)

Oct 4, 2018 · The triangle sign of Capener may be of value in recognizing early SCFE. On conventional radiograph of the normal adolescent hip, an intracapsular area at the medial aspect of the femoral neck is seen overlapping the posterior wall of the acetabulum, creating a dense triangular shadow; in most cases of SCFE, this triangle is lost (Fig. 14.7).

Aug 23, 2020 · Positive metaphyseal blanch sign is noted, in which appearance of sclerosis of the metaphysis (due to overlap with the posteriorly displaced epiphyses). Left femoral epiphysis appear slightly smaller than the right side.

Aug 17, 2017 · Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a common hip condition in adolescents where the femoral head slides out of position from the femoral neck. It typically presents with hip or knee pain and can cause leg length discrepancies. Radiographs are used to diagnose SCFE by looking for signs of physis widening and femoral head displacement.

Capener's sign : In pelvic AP view in the normal hip, the posterior acetabular margin cuts across the medial corner of the upper femoral metaphysis. With slipping, the entire metaphysis is lateral to the posterior acetabular ...
