What is the name of the physical sign that is used to identify clubbing?
|
This finding is referred to as a positive Schamroth sign.
|
Clubbing initially becomes apparent when the angle between the proximal nail and the soft tissue of the digit is obliterated or filled in, which can be demonstrated by having the patient place the distal phalangeal joints together in a "mirrorlike" fashion. For the individual who has no clubbing, the maneuver creates a diamond-shaped space (Item C21B). In contrast, the patient who has clubbing demonstrates complete occlusion of this space because all aspects of the nail bed and distal soft tissue directly oppose one another
