Abstract
Radiographic examination is one of the commonest investigations performed in the field of Orthopaedics. There are several pitfalls to be kept in mind while interpreting radiographs in Orthopaedics. Bony or soft tissue lesions can be mimicked by anatomical variations, superimposition of soft tissues, inappropriate radiographic exposure and presence of external radio-opaque substances, to name a few. We present a case, where a faulty lead rubber shield mimicked a fracture of distal end of humerus. Early identification of these abnormalities can avoid distress to and unnecessary investigations of the patient.
