Bone scintigraphic findings in patellar tendonitis.
Three patients with the signs and symptoms of patellar tendonitis were studied with technetium-99m utilizing the triple phase technique. The scans demonstrated characteristic abnormal radiotracer localization at the inferior pole of the patella or tibial tuberosity on early and delayed images. The regional patellar anatomy likely explains the bone scintigraphic findings in patellar tendonitis.
