The most common complication of femoral neck fractures is avascular necrosis secondary to loss of blood supply; this condition occurs in one of every three patients incurring such an injury. A simple, accurate procedure for assessing the blood supply prior to definitive surgery would identify those patients in whom this complication could develop, thus avoiding secondary salvage operations. In previous studies, we found positron scintigraphy using radioactive fluorine (/sup 18/F) to be useful in the clinical management of patients with fractures of the femoral neck. /sup 99m/Tc diphosphonate is one of the newer, less-expensive bone scanning agents which have become more readily available, and we undertook a study to determine its usefulness.
