Abstract
Technetium-99m hydroxymethylene diphosphonate scans were performed on 29 consecutive patients with acute ankle ligament injuries. Scanning reliably differentiated a severe from a minor injury. Severe injuries gave a diffuse uptake on the scan and the minor injuries a more localized increase in uptake.
