One hundred and thirty three children were studied (a total of 218 scintigrams) after IV injection of 100 microCi/kg 99Tc-MDP. Of 64 pathological hips (6 being bilateral), 52 were judged typically abnormal, 8 without initial radiological evidence. Of the rest, 8 were considered doubtful and 4 normal. No scan was considered typical of Perthes' disease in other hip disorders. The resulting figure of the sensitivity was 94%, for specificity 97%, for positive predictive value 97%, and for negative predictive value 95%. It is more difficult to assess the value of bone scintigraphy in the follow up of these patients. The disappearance of uptake defect in the femoral head may be a good index and occurs earlier than the normalization of the radiographs. On the other hand, the significance of the neighbouring region of increased uptake is difficult to assess although related to revascularization and reconstruction. The evolution of the disease does not seem to be correlated with the localization and the intensity of these regions in a straightforward manner.

Radionuclide imaging of hips in the postoperative setting is a valuable modality for assessing the risk of avascular necrosis, a complication of femoral neck fractures and SCFE and for evaluating the restoration of flow to the capital femoral epiphyses of children with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
