Emission tomography in femoral neck fracture for evaluation of avascular necrosis.
Two cases of operated femoral neck fractures are presented, in whom an intact femoral head isotope uptake was found with conventional Tc-MDP scintimetry. In both patients, emission tomography using the rotating slant-hole technique was diagnostic.
