Catapano M, et al. - The authors investigated the discrepancy rate between orthopaedists and radiologists in the interpretation of imaging examinations performed on patients in their tertiary level orthopaedic institution and the consequences of delayed diagnosis in terms of patient management and therapeutic strategy. They found a low rate of discrepancy between orthopaedists and radiologists in evaluating images of patients admitted to their emergency department, although treatment change occurred in about 50% of cases. To provide a correct treatment and prognosis, a thorough and accurate clinical evaluation was crucial.
