A member asked:
What does this mean on my bine scan mild uptake in right first metatarsal head is likely secondary ti traumatic or degenerative changes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nonspecific: A bone scan finds areas where the bone is turning over faster, usually repairing an area. The base of the big toe can be an area of arthritis or trauma. Another possibility would be low grade gout or perhaps other arthritis. Correlation with clinical history is needed. If the area doesn't bother you, the finding may not be important.
