The nuclide bone-scan will reliably diagnose Perthes' disease with a sensitivity of 0.98 and a specificity of 0.95. The comparable figures for radiographic sensitivity and specificity are respectively 0.92 and 0.78. In addition, it is possible on the scan to recognise the onset of revascularisation of the femoral capital epiphysis some months before there are radiographic signs of new bone formation. Scintigraphy also suggests that in some cases of transient synovitis there may bae a period of reversible ischaemia of the capital epiphysis, which may have relevance to the pathogenesis of Perthes' disease. |
