Bone Scan for Scaphoid Frx



- Discussion:
    - radionuclide imaging was performed 2-3 hours after administration of
          technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate, 4 days after injury;
    - false-positive rate: 6-16%
    - false-negative rate:   0%;






Can a day 4 bone scan accurately determine the presence or absence of scaphoid fracture?.
