  • Title: NaF PET assessment of bone metabolic changes around the femoral canal by intramedullary femoral alignment technique in total knee arthroplasty.
    Author: Kaneko S, Kanetaka M, Wagatsuma K, Ishii K, Anamizu Y, Tokimura F, Miyazaki T.
    Journal: Clin Case Rep; 2019 Jun; 7(6):1211-1214. PubMed ID: 31183095.
    Abstract:
    We used the NaF PET scan to assess osteometabolic changes around the distal half of the femoral canal by intramedullary (IM) drill for femoral IM guiding rod insertion in total knee arthroplasty. Gentle IM rod insertion and focused attention can minimize surgical stress-induced biological reaction of the femoral IM canal.
