Thanks for sharing this article, its just what I was looking for! I have been planning on going into dallas radiology for the past year. I have been studding and doing everything I can to prepare for it. I love reading articles like this and getting all this great information!

I never saw this (or, at least, never recognized it)until this weekend when I had a case that is identical in appearance. BTW, if you Google prefemoral fat pad injury, your blog is one of the first hits!

You have a terrific website

This is a really great post. I will definitely be keeping it in mind for when I go in with my mother for her radiology treatments. Thanks so much.

Thanks. I just had to pediatric sports injury cases in a row this afternoon and have seen two or three other cases in the last year. Nothing in Stoller's 3rd edition on this entity.
