Fortunately, auscultation of
crepitations in phase with the cardiac cycle (Hamman's sign) and subcutaneous swelling and crepitus are specific diagnostic signs.

The following clinical factors were not significantly associated with the presence of a fracture: patient age, mechanism of injury, pain on various movements, deformity,
crepitation, instability, other sites of point tenderness, drawer sign, swelling, and discoloration and pain on squeezing the tibia and fibula.
Physical examination might reveal signs of
crepitation in case of osteoarthritis or fracture, increased laxity 'Ortolani signs' indicative of hip dysplasia and limb shortening in case of luxation.
c) Clinical signs like tachypnoea, reduced chest movements, dull percussion note, bronchial breath sounds, increased vocal fremitus and vocal resonance and
crepitations.
Hamman's sign, or mediastinal
crepitation, is accentuated during expiration, especially with the patient in the left lateral decubitus position.
On examination, there was dull percussion note over left lower hemithorax along with diminished breath sound and coarse
crepitation over that area.
All the birds showed swelling in the affected limbs,
crepitation on palpation and no external wound in any of the cases.
In addition to the customary auscultation of the lungs, careful palpation of the ribs looking for evidence of
crepitation would probably represent an adequate initial screening measure to rule out rib fracture.
Bibasilar
crepitation was the most consistent sign (95.5%), clubbing and pallor were present in 61.1% and 58.9% of ILD patients.
Crepitation is commonly palpable in patients with isolated SLAP lesions.
