Bryant's triangle
Related people
A hypothetical triangle of lines drawn on the body in fracture of the neck of the femur to determine upward displacement of the trochanter. This is a surgical marking that makes it easier to find pathogonomic deviations in a number of deformities and diseased conditions. It is particularly used in diagnosing fractures of the neck of femur.
