The diagnostic value of 99m Tc-diphosphonate bone imaging in transient osteoporosis of the hip.

We present topographic and quantitative studies of 99m Tc-diphosphonate bone scans from 46 patients and 25 control subjects in which we found transient osteoporosis of the hip (TOH) (12 cases--2 bilateral), early aseptic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (19 cases--2 bilateral), early coxitis (11 cases), and stress fracture of the femoral neck (4 cases). Active TOH was characterized by intense, homogeneous increased uptake of the entire femoral head, extending to the acetabulum and the neck, and sometimes to the shaft. The scintigram of TOH differed greatly from that in the other hip disorders studied. Bone scintigraphy can help to diagnose the cause of pain in a hip before definite roentgenographic signs appear.

[Coagulum technic for removal of kidney calix calculi].

Coagulum pyelolithotomy is a useful adjunct for the extraction of renal caluli. This article describes a simplified technique using cryoprecipitated plasma, thrombin and calcium chloride. The method has been tested in vitro with twenty cadaver kidneys filled with stones. The results are analyzed. The technique is of definite interest when performed under the conditions described. The excellent results for patients make it very valuable. The limitations and advantages of the technique are discussed.

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.
