title: A simple radiologic aid in the diagnosis of small avulsion fractures of the knee.
abstract: The diagnosis of knee injuries roentgenographically can present difficulties. Two illustrative cases demonstrate that simple medial and lateral oblique projections with standard radiographic techniques can contribute to increased detection of small avulsion fractures which can be missed on the standard radiographic projections.
