[Bone scintigraphy in total isoelastic hip prosthesis. Proposal of a semiquantitative analysis]

The authors present a method of semiquantitative analysis of bone scintigraphy in the study of the evolution of total hip prosthesis and analyse the course of remodelling processes in a group of patients who showed no post surgical complication after total isoelastic hip arthroplasty without cement. The authors will use data worked out as terms of comparison in the study of those patients who present, after surgery, a symptomatology difficult to be evaluated in order to discriminate the cases where the symptoms indicate the beginning of a pathologic process (loosening and/or infection).
