  • Title: Stress lesions of the lower leg and foot.
    Author: Saunders AJ, El Sayed TF, Hilson AJ, Maisey MN, Grahame R.
    Journal: Clin Radiol; 1979 Nov; 30(6):649-51. PubMed ID: 41663.
    Abstract:
    Technetium 99 methylene diphosphonate scans were performed on 32 patients with suspected stress fractures. Twenty-six patients had abnormal scans, 13 had abnormal X-rays and on these only nine had either fresh periosteal new bone and/or a fracture line. A logical approach of the use of X-ray and radionuclide techniques in patient management is suggested.
