[The behavior of 3-phase scintigraphy of hip joint prostheses].
With the results of about 600 hip joint prostheses examined by scintigraphy, it is evident that nuclear medicine is more than a supplementary examination, especially in the case of a non-cemented isoelastic prosthesis. The combination of 3-phase scintigraphy with leukocyte scintigraphy could solve the problems of infected and aseptic displaced prostheses in 90% of the cases. The conventional X-ray diagnostic being the only method to demonstrate bone morphology is still the primary examination.
