Figure 4 Asymptomatic right knee arthroplasty.
On the 99mTc-MDP bone scan, there is irregular, intense radiopharmaceutical accumulation around the long stemmed tibial component of a three year old right knee replacement. The femoral component is unremarkable. The patient had a history of breast carcinoma and bone scintigraphy was performed as part of a routine evaluation for metastatic disease.
