Abstract
Although fat pad signs are classically associated with fracture, there are many nontraumatic disease processes which lead to positive fat pad sign [on radiograms]. Any intraarticular fluid or tissue accumulation may result in an abnormal posterior fat pad. A paradoxical positive posterior fat pad sign may occur in some instances of extraarticular disease. An extended differential diagnosis is presented.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
