Increased F-18 FDG accumulation in an acute fracture

Clin Nucl Med. 1994 Jan;19(1):13-4. doi: 10.1097/00003072-199401000-00004.

Abstract

Markedly increased FDG uptake was noted in a 2-week-old fracture of the clavicle and scapula in a 24-year-old man. This finding emphasizes the need to consider benign etiologies such as trauma for focally increased FDG accumulation in bone.
