Merger proposal edit
The 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)
