Is Early Bone Scintigraphy a Reliable Method to Assess the Viability of Vascularized Bone Transplants?

ABSTRACT This clinical study reveals radiomarker uptake in corticocancellous non-vascularized bone grafts as early as 3 days postoperatively. It therefore calls into question whether seventh-postoperative-day bone scintigraphy is a reliable method for determining the viability of vascularized bone g...

Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT This clinical study reveals radiomarker uptake in corticocancellous non-vascularized bone grafts as early as 3 days postoperatively. It therefore calls into question whether seventh-postoperative-day bone scintigraphy is a reliable method for determining the viability of vascularized bone grafts.
