Scintigraphy of shin splints

C M Lieberman, D L Hemingway

    Clinical Nuclear Medicine
    |January 1, 1980

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Bone scans revealed a "double stripe sign" in patients with shin splints. This finding, previously linked to hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy, suggests a potential new diagnostic marker for shin splints.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Orthopedics
    • Nuclear Medicine

    Background:

    • Shin splints are a common cause of lower limb pain in athletes.
    • The "double stripe sign" on bone scans was previously considered specific for hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the imaging findings of bone scans in patients experiencing painful shin splints.
    • To determine if the "double stripe sign" is present in shin splints and assess its specificity.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of bone scans performed on patients diagnosed with shin splints.
    • Identification and characterization of the "double stripe sign" on these scans.

    Main Results:

    • The "double stripe sign" was observed in bone scans of patients with painful shin splints.

  • This sign, previously thought to be specific for hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy, was found in a different clinical context.

    • Conclusions:

    • The "double stripe sign" may not be exclusive to hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy.
    • This imaging finding could be a potential indicator in the diagnosis of shin splints, warranting further investigation.
