(18)F‐sodium fluoride positron emission tomography may help diagnose nondisplaced peri‐prosthetic and peri‐implant fracture

Occult fractures are challenging to diagnose, especially those involving an implant surrounding the suspected fracture site. This is the first case wherein (18)F‐sodium fluoride positron emission tomography substantially helped to diagnose peri‐prosthetic and peri‐implant fractures. The application...

Sumario:Occult fractures are challenging to diagnose, especially those involving an implant surrounding the suspected fracture site. This is the first case wherein (18)F‐sodium fluoride positron emission tomography substantially helped to diagnose peri‐prosthetic and peri‐implant fractures. The application of this imaging modality warrants further study.
