Increased patellar uptake on bone scans is seen quite commonly but the possible or probable etiologies of this finding have not been previously well described. A review of 100 consecutive bone scans showed that the incidence of bilateral "hot" patellae is 15%. Identified etiologies include osteoarthritic degenerative disease (35%), fracture, possible metastatic disease, bursitis, Paget's disease, and osteomyelitis. The value of careful history, physical examination, and radiographs is stressed.
骨扫描中髌骨摄取增加相当常见，但这一发现的可能或大概病因此前尚未得到充分描述。对连续100例骨扫描的回顾显示，双侧“热”髌骨的发生率为15%。已确定的病因包括骨关节炎退行性疾病（35%）、骨折、可能的转移性疾病、滑囊炎、佩吉特病和骨髓炎。强调了详细病史、体格检查和X线片的价值。
