    Abstract:
    A clinicoroentgenological study was performed in 35 rheumatoid arthritic patients (of them 24 with aseptic necrosis of the femoral heads and 11 without clinicoroentgenological signs of the hip joint involvement). Aseptic necrosis, stage II, was roentgenologically defined in 12 femoral heads, stage III in 23. An analysis of the results of the scintigraphic study showed that the RP absorption ratio in the rheumatoid arthritic patients with aseptic necrosis was significantly higher than that in the control group. Significant scintigraphic differences between stage II and III of aseptic necrosis were also revealed (the ratio of 99mTc absorption was 2.79 +/- 0.156 and 4.08 +/- 0.22, respectively).
