The position of the supinator fat pad is regarded as a valuable sign in fractures of the elbow. In our patients the pad was visible in 277 out of 337 cases (82%). The sign was positive in only 27 out of 55 proximal fractures of the radius (sensitivity 0.49). There was no correlation between the severity of the fracture and the sign. There was marked variation in the distance between the pad and the radius, depending on age, build and projection. Our results indicate that the sign is not suitable for the diagnosis of fracture of the elbow.
旋后肌脂肪垫的位置被视为肘部骨折的一个重要体征。在我们的患者中，337例中有277例（82%）可见该脂肪垫。在55例桡骨近端骨折中，该体征仅在27例中呈阳性（敏感性为0.49）。骨折的严重程度与该体征之间无相关性。脂肪垫与桡骨之间的距离因年龄、体型和投照方式而有显著差异。我们的结果表明，该体征不适用于肘部骨折的诊断。
