[Stress fractures of the pelvis].

Stress fractures of the pelvic ring should be suspected everytime a patient complains of hip pain. These stress fractures are more likely to occur in elderly, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis of the hip and after total hip replacement. A bone scan should be performed for early diagnosis, for roentgenolographic evidence of stress fracture often one ago two or three weeks behind the onset of symptoms.

Osteomalacia, pseudosacroiliitis and necrosis of the femoral heads in Fanconi syndrome in an adult.

The symptom of bone pain led to the discovery of Fanconi syndrome in a 20-yr-old patient. The presenting osteomalacia was associated with an early deterioration of the sacroiliac joint and osteonecrosis of both femoral heads. The coexistence of these 2 unusual disorders was not coincidental. A diagnosis of osteomalacia was considered because of impaired mineralization predominantly affecting the median part of the sacroiliac joints. The bone necroses, of probable microfracture origin, were probably directly related to the osteomalacia.

[Extraskeletal uptake in bone scintigraphy].

Interpretation of a bone scan requires perfect knowledge not only of normal appearances and of the various methods of expression of bony lesions but also of normal or pathological extra-skeletal uptakes which can : (1) be a source of interpretation owing to their superposition with a bony segment. (2) provide useful further information directly linked to the bony disorder studied. (3) permits the unexpected discovery of lesions of the soft tissues. A careful clinical examination of the patient, and knowledge of the whole of the history permits one to explain most of the scanning abnormalities observed.
