Scintigraphic detection of sequential symmetrical metatarsal stress fractures

NH Patel, AF Jacobson and J Williams
University of Arkansas Medical Center, Little Rock, USA.

A patient with complaints of right foot pain and previous normal radiographs had an abnormal three-phase bone scan consistent with a second metatarsal stress fracture. Subsequent radiographs confirmed this diagnosis. Two months later, the patient developed pain in his left foot, and again initial radiographs were noncontributory. A later bone scan revealed a left second metatarsal stress fracture. The results in this case reemphasize the value of bone scintigraphy in patients with foot pain and no bone abnormalities on plain radiographs.
