Hello!
Does anyone know what's the deformity seen on x-rays of patients who have frequent fractures? It's a specific name, and I don't think its callus formation due to healing. It's seen usually in patients, esp. those whose bones would just pop due to some normal acitivity-i.e. humerus pops out while closing the car door.
A doctor had mentioned it long before I started med school, but I cannot seem to remember anymore, and its driving me insane now that's I'm doing bone pathology! Help me out please 😳
-Thanks.
