摘要
Two cases of osteoarthritis of the knee are presented that illustrate the typical medial compartment pattern of scintigraphic uptake. In both cases the patients had significant medial joint pain. After high tibial osteotomy, the pattern of uptake was altered and paralleled the improvement in symptoms. These observations prompt several important issues regarding the cause of the uptake and may provide a way to monitor treatment response.
