Rarefied femoral neck trabecular patterns, fracture displacement, and femoral head vitality in femoral neck fractures. 1986

N Dalén, and B Jacobsson

Before operation, 99mTc-MDP scintimetry was performed in 103 patients with femoral neck fractures. There was a significant correlation (r = 0.63, p less than .01) between osteoporosis and fracture displacement, but no correlation (r = 0.07, p greater than .01) between femoral neck trabecular bone patterns and femoral head viability and no correlation (r = 0.11, p less than .01) between fracture displacement and femoral head viability.

D010024	Osteoporosis	Reduction of bone mass without alteration in the composition of bone, leading to fractures. Primary osteoporosis can be of two major types: postmenopausal osteoporosis (OSTEOPOROSIS, POSTMENOPAUSAL) and age-related or senile osteoporosis.

D011877	Radionuclide Imaging	The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D013669	Technetium Tc 99m Medronate	A gamma-emitting radionuclide imaging agent used primarily in skeletal scintigraphy. Because of its absorption by a variety of tumors, it is useful for the detection of neoplasms.
