Background: Jumper's knee is a common and troublesome condition among senior volleyball players, but its prevalence among elite junior players compared to matched non-sports active controls is not known.

Objectives: The diagnostic accuracy of technetium-99m-HMPAO-labeled leukocyte scintigraphy (LS) and spiral CT for the detection of inflammatory activity was assessed; the extent of the inflammation and the complications were compared with the clinical and laboratory parameters and with the endoscopic and radiological findings in patients with clinically active Crohn's disease (CD).

Methods: Twenty-eight patients (13 men, 15 women, average age 32.5 yr, range: 18-59 yr) with an acute exacerbation of CD were enrolled in the study.
