What is Throckmorton Sign?

A now discarded term in medicine, in which the direction of th flaccid penis on Xray points away from the area of injury. If the reverse were true, it was referred to as the Throckmorton Sign. In other words, a 50/50 useless distinction.

"Anti-Throckmorton sign indicates fracture in the distal ulnar region of the left arm."
