Radioisotope diagnosis of the insufficient femoropatellar joint

  • 1. Akademia Medyczna, Bialystok (Poland)

Description

In 14 patients suffering from chondromalacia patellae as well as in 6 patients with a femoropatellar arthrosis the perfusion of the kneecap was measured scintigraphically by means of 125I-iodoantipirin. A retarded elimination of the isotopes could be found both with the chondromalacia and with the arthrosis. The course of the curve of secretion of 125I-iodoantipirin as well as the calculated half-life-period of the decline of activity give valuable diagnostic and therapeutic hints. (author)
