Stress fracture of the patella. Confirmation by triple-phase bone imaging

J F Rockett et al. Clin Nucl Med. 1990 Dec.

Abstract

An athlete complained of chronic knee pain but had minimal findings on physical examination and initial equivocal radiographs. Subsequent tomograms of the knee suggested a patella stress fracture. Three-phase bone imaging confirmed a stress fracture of the inferior pole of the patella.
