A thin opaque line in the femoral neck that on the anteroposterior view extends laterally from the inferior border of the neck for a variable distance, frequently reaching the superior border. The line is usually curved, sagging at its center; occasionally, it is almost straight. The sagging rope sign is most commonly seen as a residual after severe Perthes disease.
