[Value of scintigraphic examination methods with 99mTechnetium in injuries of the epiphyseal cartilage (author's transl)].
The value of scintigraphic examinations of injuries involving the epiphyseal plate is to be seen to ensure the correct diagnosis of the lesions type I and type V according to Salter and Harris. Further on the results of these scintigraphic examinations allow a better planning of the therapeutic procedure. Experimental findings in rabbits succeeded to predict the seriousness and an early prognosis. The disturbances of the epiphyseal blood flow can be diagnosed by 99m Tc-O4 labeled erythrocytes and 99m Tc-O4 labeled albumin microspheres. 99m Tc-MDP skeletal scintigraphy gives the information at which time the repair is done and full weight bearing is possible.
