Oh, no, my friend, @aceyuurikatsuki . Itâs not just that. It is so much more. Settle down and let your friendly neighborhood x-ray tech explain you a thing.
Throckmortonâs Sign, otherwise known as Throckmortonâs Principle, does in fact have to do with dicks. Because it is fairly normal for a dick to show up on a hip or pelvis x-ray. But the thing about Throckmortonâs Sign is, itâs not just that the dick is visible. It is a legitimate diagnostic tool.
Let me explain: letâs say a person equipped with a penis is in a car accident and has right leg and right side hip/pelvic pain. Their doctor will order x-rays. Unfortunately, sometimes fractures are so small that they can be missed, or, because the patient is in such bad shape and the images obtained arenât the best quality, the radiologist canât be sure for one reason or another if what theyâre seeing is actually a fracture.
So what do they do? They look for the dick.
You heard me correctly. The dick.
Throckmortonâs Sign is when âthe penis points to the area of pain.â So if the above-mentioned AMAB patientâs xray arenât displaying a clear, obvious fracture, but their dick is pointing to the right side, 9 times out of 10, the injury or fracture is on the right hip or leg area, so then the radiologist will focus on that side while reading.
Now I know what my non-radiology followers are thinking. âAce, this sounds like bullshit. This canât be true. Youâre lying through your teeth.â But I swear to you, it is 100% accurate. I have seen a positive Throckmortonâs Sign multiple times with my own eyes over the course of the past 7 years. Ask any x-ray tech, and they will probably agree with me.
Your dick is good for at least one thing, and that thing is helping a radiologist diagnose your upper femur, hip, or pelvic fracture.
