The patellar pubic percussion test: a simple bedside tool for suspected occult hip fractures
2018
Purpose
Patellar finger tapping produces a typical sound that can be detected by a stethoscope positioned on the pubic bone (patellar pubic percussion test (PPPT)). Characteristics of this sound are determined by continuity of bone between patella and pelvis. We hypothesized that a PPPT was able to detect overt hip fractures and occult hip fractures that may not be determined by a standard radiological examination.
