  • Title: Dynamic bone scanning in fractures.
    Author: Jacobs RR, Jackson RP, Preston DF, Williamson JA, Gallagher J.
    Journal: Injury; 1981 May; 12(6):455-9. PubMed ID: 6268541.
    Abstract:
    In 20 cases routine static bone scans were no value in the detection of delayed fracture healing. Using the 7.5-15 min net uptake of technetium labelled phosphate, disturbed fracture healing was detected in a series, of 37 cases. Normally healing fractures had an increase of 3 per cent per month and delayed unions less than half that amount. Non-unions had no net uptake.
