The diagnosis of stress fractures of runners by an isotope scintigraphy

  • 1. Tampere Univ. Central Hospital (Finland). Dept. of Clinical Physiology

Description

By means of isotope scintigraphy the suspected stress fractures in the lower limb bones of ten competitive runners were verified in nine cases (9/10). In all cases the X-rays were normal. By conservative treatment avoiding excessive stress, the intensive local isotope uptake in the bone and pain symptoms of the stress fracture disappeared after 2-4 months. (orig.)
