3 phase bone scan, what does it mean? "delayed images photopenic defect is seen of l knee medial compartment arthroplasty hardware. moderate to high grade uptake around tibial component."

It is important to interprete in context of clinical evaluation, however the bone scan is used to measure inflammation because there is increased blood flow to area of inflammation and sometimes inflammation is due to infection. You should follow up with the medical provider so appropriate interpretation and management could be done.
