A radiolucent fracture line is an area on an X-ray that appears darker compared to the surrounding bone, indicating the presence of a fracture. This occurs because the fracture disrupts the normal density of the bone, allowing more X-ray penetration. Radiolucent lines are typically seen in various types of fractures and are important for diagnosing the extent and nature of the injury. Clinically, identifying these lines helps guide treatment decisions.
