The John Thomas sign is a term used in medical imaging to describe a specific finding in radiographs (X-rays) of the pelvis associated with certain types of fractures. It is most notably linked to fractures of the femoral neck, particularly in older adults. Specifically, it refers to the presence of a horizontal line that appears across the upper part of the femoral neck on X-ray images.
