Abstract English

This work aimed to evaluate the possibility of using TC 99 stannous pyrophosphate as diagnostic tool, of the state of union of fractured scaphoid. The advanced technology permitted the use of more sensitive gamma camera connected to the computer allowing detailed analysis of the regional uptake at the fracture site
