Abstract
Radiological cases constituted 2% of the total number of legal cases i n Sweden during 1996. The young man in this report accused a radiologi st of having missed a fracture 7 years earlier based on a new radiolog y examination and report. In reality the latter report was incorrect a nd the patient had a rare exostosis that explained the clinical signs and symptoms. The alleged fracture was an epiphyseal line to a non-uni fied ossification centre at the tip of the unique exostosis.
