title: Emission tomography in femoral neck fracture for evaluation of avascular necrosis.
abstract: 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.
