editThe article on the sail sign renders the article on the fat pad sign defunct —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jankow28 (talk • contribs) 19:47, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what you're referring to. Both terms are valid and used. Dryphi (talk) 01:34, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
Merger proposal
editThe terms "sail sign" and "fat pad sign" are used interchangeably. However, I have heard this phenomenon more commonly referred to as the "posterior fat pad sign" in pediatric orthopaedic clinics. [1] Dryphi (talk) 01:34, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
- There is a radiographic marker called the "Sail Sign" of the chest which refers to the thymic shadow in neonates and small children (less than 2 years old). As I stated above, the term "posterior fat pad sign" is more commonly used, and it also avoids any confusion with similarly-named visual indicators. Dryphi (talk) 22:59, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
