  • Title: Correlation of 99mTc-MDP scintimetry and histology in cervical hip fracture.
    Author: Hirano T, Taguchi A, Suzuki R, Iwasaki K.
    Journal: Acta Orthop Scand; 1987 Feb; 58(1):33-7. PubMed ID: 3577738.
    Abstract:
    In 20 cases of fresh cervical hip fracture, treated with primary prosthetic replacement, preoperative 99mTc-MDP scintimetry was compared with histologic findings of the extracted femoral heads. The radionuclide uptake was classified into three types according to the activity distribution; overall increase, focal decrease, and overall decrease. Histologically, the location and extent of ischemic necrosis in the femoral heads were closely related to the distribution of decreased activity.
