Use of SPECT/CT with 99mTc-MDP Bone Scintigraphy to Diagnose Symptomatic Os Acromiale.
Os acromiale is an anatomic variant that in rare cases can cause pain. (99m)Tc-methylene diphosphonate bone scintigraphy with SPECT/CT can play an important role in diagnosing this clinical entity. We present a male football player with shoulder pain secondary to a symptomatic os acromiale, and we demonstrate the findings on bone scanning with limited SPECT/CT that diagnosed this important clin...
متن کاملSymptomatic os acromiale.
Os acromiale, the joining of the acromion to the scapular spine by fibrocartilaginous tissue rather than bone, is an anatomic variant that has been reported in approximately 8% of the population worldwide. It is more common in blacks and males than in whites and females. Although it is often an incidental finding, os acromiale has been identified as a contributor to shoulder impingement symptom...
متن کاملThe treatment of symptomatic os acromiale.
Os acromiale is an uncommon condition of the shoulder. When symptomatic, os acromiale may cause impingement pain, rotator cuff tears, or pain through abnormal motion at the unfused apophysis. Treatment of symptomatic os acromiale is controversial. This article reports on four patients with symptomatic meso-acromions who were treated with open reduction and internal fixation. All four patients r...
متن کاملClinical approach to renal study incidental to 99mTc-MDP bone scintigraphy.
In order to investigate the feasibility of the assessment of renal function with 99mTc-MDP, we compared renographical images, renogram patterns and the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) obtained by means of a modified Gates' method and 200 MBq of 99mTc-MDP with those obtained by means of 99mTc-DTPA. Because 19 of 20 patients had malignant tumors in the genitourinary tract, there was no differenc...
متن کاملOperative Treatment of Symptomatic Meso-Type Os Acromiale
Os acromiale occur frequently in the population and can be a cause of significant shoulder dysfunction and rotator cuff impingement. When symptomatic os acromiale fail conservative management, surgical intervention may become necessary. The purpose of this article is to describe our preferred surgical technique for osteosynthesis of os acromiale using cannulated screws and tension-band wiring.
