| Popis: | This study compares the bone scan appearances in 32 patients with medial tibial syndrome (MTS) with the appearance in 28 patients with confirmed chronic compartment syndrome (CCS). A distinctive pattern of uptake was seen in 30 patients, 24 of whom had MTS and 6 of whom had CCS. Of the patients with normal scans, only 4 had MTS, the remaining 15 had CCS. Both of these findings are statistically significant and confirm that bone scans are a useful diagnostic tool in the differential diagnosis of exercise-induced lower leg pain. |
