The Accuracy of Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography Arthrography in Evaluating Aseptic Loosening of Hip and Knee Prostheses.
The Journal of Arthroplasty(2015)
摘要
Aseptic loosening represents the most common complication associated with hip and knee arthroplasty and is a common indication for surgical revision in the post-arthroplasty population. The optimal imaging methodology in evaluating clinical suspected loosening is not well-defined. Our study retrospectively evaluated nuclear medicine arthrography with hybrid single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) in 38 patients (21 hip, 17 knee) compared with reference standards of surgical evaluation, spontaneous resolution of symptoms without revision, or a minimum of 1year clinical and radiographic follow-up. Our study demonstrated a sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 96.0%, PPV of 92.9%, NPV of 100%, and accuracy of 97.4% with this imaging technique suggesting utility of nuclear medicine arthrography with SPECT/CT in the clinical evaluation of suspected aseptic loosening.
