title: Bone scan findings with radiographic, clinical, and surgical correlation in extensive osteomyelitis: a case report.
abstract: A case of chronic osteomyelitis is presented in which bone scintigraphy with Tc-99m-MDP provided more accurate information than radiography in demonstrating the extent of the sequestrum and the involucrum response. Surgical and microscopic descriptions are included.
