Calcification of the linea aspera: A systematic narrative review
This review aims to consolidate the published demographics, clinical and radiological features of calcific tendonitis affecting the linea aspera. Using the PRISMA protocol, 55 clinical cases were extracted from 19 shortlisted papers. In a patient presenting with thigh and/or hip pain, radiologic eva...
