[Arteriographic findings in a Schipper's fracture at the shaft of the femur (author's transl)].
This report on a Schipper's fracture at the shaft of the femur in a twelve-year old boy is preceded by a systematic tabulation of the various non-traumatic types of fracture and a general synopsis of stress fractures. At the time of a first exacerbation of pain which had been persisting for several weeks, the x-ray film showed periostal callus formation and a discrete, transverse zone of increased density. Four weeks later, this zone had widened, the central region showing a fine, tape-like translucence. The arteriogram showed a local increase in the number of vessels in the vicinity of the stress fracture.
