pain on percussion/costovertebral angle tenderness Explanation: Sorry I made a mistake in the note above - costovertebral angle, not costophrenic (which you can only see on an X ray). http://medinfo.ufl.edu/year1/bcs/slides/abdomen/slide29.html http://www.merck.com/mmpe/sec17/ch226/ch226b.html Percussion: Pain elicited by blunt percussion of the back, flanks, and angle formed by the 12th rib and lumbar spine (costovertebral tenderness) with a fist may indicate pyelonephritis or calculi. |
