Case of a 72-year-old who presented at the outpatient department with right hip pain after slipping at home. a A plain radiograph of the right hip shows only an isolated greater trochanter fracture (arrow). b A bone scan obtained 3 days after the trauma shows radionuclide predominantly concentrated in the greater trochanter. c A computed tomography scan shows no occult intertrochanteric fracture. d A T1-weighted coronal image shows a linear low-signal intensity focus (arrow) indicating a fracture. e A T2-weighted coronal image shows a fracture surrounded by high signal intensity (arrow) and abnormal signal in the muscles around the hip. These findings are compatible with interstitial hemorrhage and hematoma (bold arrows)
