Bone Scintigraphy: A Review of Technical Aspects and Applications in Orthopedic Surgery
Abstract:
Due to its high sensitivity, low cost, accessibility, and ease of use, bone scintigraphy is used in orthopedic surgery for the diagnosis and management of varied pathology. It is commonly used for insufficiency fractures, metastatic neoplasia, staging and surveillance of sarcoma, and nonaccidental trauma. It augments diagnoses, including stress or occult fractures, musculoskeletal neoplasia or infection, and chronic regional pain syndrome, in patients presenting with normal results on radiographs. Bone scan images are resistant to metal-based implant artifact, allowing effective evaluation of failed total joint prostheses. Bone scintigraphy remains an underused tool in the evaluation and management of orthopedic patients. [Orthopedics. 2019; 42(1):e14-e24.].
