    Summary

    Scintigraphy effectively detects non-unions one year after Harrington-Spondylodesis surgery. This imaging technique is recommended for routine diagnostics to confirm healing success.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Harrington-Spondylodesis is a surgical procedure for spinal fusion.
    • Post-operative non-union can be a complication, affecting patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of scintigraphy in detecting non-unions after Harrington-Spondylodesis.
    • To determine if scintigraphy is suitable for routine diagnostic use in this context.

    Main Methods:

    • Scintigraphy was performed approximately one year post-surgery.
    • The study included 29 patients who underwent Harrington-Spondylodesis.

    Main Results:

    • Scintigraphy demonstrated success in identifying non-unions in patients.
    • The imaging modality proved effective for the diagnostic question.

    Conclusions:

    • Scintigraphy is a valuable tool for diagnosing non-unions following Harrington-Spondylodesis.
    • Routine use of scintigraphy in diagnostics is recommended for this patient group.
