The presence of the "hot patella" sign was evaluated in a prospective study of 200 consecutive bone scans, and in a review of scans from 148 patients with various metabolic bone disorders and 61 patients with lung carcinoma. The incidence was found to be 31%, 26% and 31% respectively. This sign is an extremely common scan finding and may be seen in association with a wide variety of disorders. It is concluded that this sign cannot be considered to be of diagnostic value.
在一项对200例连续骨扫描的前瞻性研究中，以及对148例患有各种代谢性骨病的患者和61例肺癌患者的扫描回顾中，评估了“热髌骨”征的存在情况。发现其发生率分别为31%、26%和31%。该征象是一种极为常见的扫描发现，可能与多种疾病相关。得出的结论是，该征象不具有诊断价值。
