title: The diagnostic value of displacement of the fat stripe in fracture of the scaphoid bone.
abstract: Soft tissue abnormalities on radiological examination can be useful in evaluating injury to various regions. In a retrospective study of X-ray pictures of 125 patients with injury to the wrist, it was possible to demonstrate an abnormal scaphoid fat stripe (SFS) in seventy-three out of seventy-eight cases with fracture of the scaphoid bone, compared to ten out of forty-seven cases without fracture.
