18F-sodium fluoride positron emission tomography may help diagnose nondisplaced peri-prosthetic and peri-implant fracture.

Occult fractures are challenging to diagnose, especially those involving an implant surrounding the suspected fracture site. This is the first case wherein 18F-sodium fluoride positron emission tomography substantially helped to diagnose peri-prosthetic and peri-implant fractures. The application of this imaging modality warrants further study.

Intraosseous epidermal cyst of the great toe that was difficult to distinguish from chronic osteomyelitis: A case report and literature review.

Obtaining a correct intraosseous epidermal cyst diagnosis is difficult due to the extreme rarity of this cyst. Further, the clinical manifestations and radiographic findings are very similar to those of a malignancy or infection. Early histopathological analysis is required for accurate diagnosis and for avoiding unnecessary antibiotic administration and amputation.

18F-sodium fluoride positron emission tomography may help determine better treatment for thigh pain after hip arthroplasty-A case report.

Thigh pain after hip arthroplasty is multifactorial; uncovering its etiology is paramount for optimal treatment. This is the first case where 18F-sodium fluoride positron emission tomography substantially helped in diagnosing the post-hip arthroplasty persistent thigh pain and appropriate treatment selection. This imaging modality warrants further study and more widespread application.
