Differential bone scanning. 1976

P F Richin, and D R Harris, and P Kenmore, and B Sauerbrunn, and R Bates

This is a preliminary report of eleven patients with painful total joint arthroplasties. In their evaluation the difficulty in the differential diagnosis between the loose and the infected total joint becomes apparent. We have found the use of differential bone scans an accurate method to identify the infected total joint. Further study along these lines is indicated with a larger series and generalization to other types of implants.
