Recent reports (1, 2) suggest that bone scanning can implement the early detection and study of the newly emerging syndrome of transient osteoporosis or demineralization. Although hip involvement is most striking in this syndrome and was the feature that first called our attention to the condition (3), other joints may be involved in some patients, and the full definition of this syndrome awaits further study.The similarity of...References1.
