The radionuclide investigation of skeletal trauma in the past was confined generally to scintimetry and an occasional bone scan. The development of improved radiopharmaceuticals, including 99mTc-labeled compounds with their enhanced sensitivity, and the refinement of imaging devices offering superior resolution and speed have allowed a more detailed assessment of conditions resulting from trauma. Practical approaches to the diagnosis of subtle bone injury resulting in stress fracture, the differentiation between delayed healing and nonunion, and early recognition of avascular necrosis and osteomyelitis are now available. The changing pattern of radionuclide uptake in bone following damage by radiation and other abnormalities as a consequence of trauma also can be easily studied.

An initial assessment of treatment of chronic osteomyelitis in 16 adults with Strontium 85 is presented. A dose 3.5-5 times greater than standard scintigraphic one was administered. In 3 cases the dose has been repeated because of the persistence of infection. The radionuclide was well tolerated. In 14 cases ceasing of osteomyelitis have been achieved. Laboratory tests showed no abnormalities.
