2. Klein's line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klein's_line

   Klein's line or the line of Klein is a virtual line that can be drawn on an X-ray of an adolescent's hip parallel to the anatomically upper edge of the femoral neck.It was the first tool to aid in the early diagnosis of a slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), which if treated late or left untreated leads to crippling arthritis, leg length discrepancy and lost range of motion.

3. Trethowan's sign - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trethowan's_sign

   Trethowan's sign is when Klein's line does not intersect the lateral part of the superior femoral epiphysis on an AP radiograph of the pelvis. [1] Clinical use

4. Slipped capital femoral epiphysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slipped_capital_femoral...

   SCFE affects approximately 1–10 per 100,000 children. [4] The incidence varies by geographic location, season of the year, and ethnicity. [4] In eastern Japan, the incidence is 0.2 per 100,000 and in the northeastern U.S. it is about 10 per 100,000. [2] Africans and Polynesians have higher rates of SCFE. [2]

5. Southwick angle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwick_angle

   The angle is measured on a frog lateral view of the bilateral hips. It is measured by drawing a line perpendicular to a line connecting two points at the posterior and anterior tips of the epiphysis at the physis. A third line is drawn down the axis of femur. The angle between the perpendicular line and the femoral shaft line is the angle.

6. Klein Tools - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klein_Tools

   Klein Tools, Inc. is an American company based in Lincolnshire, IL that manufactures hand tools. The company is known for its popularity with workers in the electrical [1] [2] [3] and telecommunications [4] [5] industries. Lineman's pliers in the past were often called "Kleins," an example of a genericized trademark.

7. Drill bit sizes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_bit_sizes

   One aspect of this method of sizing is that the size increment between drill bits becomes larger as bit sizes get smaller: 100% for the step from 1/64 to 1/32, but a much smaller percentage between 1 47/64 and 1 3/4. Drill bit sizes are written as irreducible fractions. So, instead of 78/64 inch, or 1 14/64 inch, the size is noted as 1 7/32 inch.
