In medicine, a sign is an objective evidence of disease specially observed and interpreted by a physician. Multiple signs are described in the radiology literature. The recognition of these signs allows the radiologist and the clinician to make a specific diagnosis or give a brief differential diagnosis. We have compiled a collage of easily recognizable signs in musculoskeletal radiology. Familiarity with these signs can direct the radiologist toward an accurate diagnosis, timely intervention, and astute management. These signs are illustrated with radiographs to help elucidate direct or indirect evidence of the pathology and mechanism of injury. Findings are best appreciated on different imaging modalities; for example, an axial computed tomography (CT) image of the spine will confirm spondylolisthesis suspected on a radiograph.
