title: [Scintigraphic bone scans in evaluation of aseptic and septic hip prosthesis loosening].
abstract: The results of clinical examination, three-phase bone scintigraphy and intraoperative findings were compared in 29 patients. Scintigraphic criteria of infection or aseptic loosening have been presented. The method proved to be highly useful with sensitivity, specificity and accuracy being 100, 73 and 90 per cent respectively.
