Results No included study that described the method of eliciting Rovsing sign provided a correct description. None of the 3 English (text)books on surgery described the sign accurately, but all 6 German (text)books provided a correct description.

Conclusion Rovsing sign is used erroneously in clinical practice and medical research and is most likely already taught incorrectly to most medical students. All statistical data available on this sign must be questioned and reinvestigated in future well-designed studies to assess the actual value of Rovsing sign in the diagnosis of appendicitis.
