A member asked:
How am i being determined a candidate for a fulkerson procedure or not after failed lateral release by my dr ordering a bone scan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely as B Scan: will not help in making that determination. He will take a proper HX and do a clinical Exam to ensure the Dx is in keeping with your symptoms. He might have to repeat LR again, by open means (if the first time it was done arthroscopically). Generally a Bony procedure is indicated if the soft tissue procedures failed or if the cause is bone-related. Good Luck.
