Occult Intertrochanteric Fracture Detected by Bone Scan Imaging: A Case Report.

Femoral intertrochanteric fractures can be occult and not visible on plain radiographs, even when there is a high clinical suspicion. This case study reports an occult intertrochanteric fracture that was diagnosed using a bone scan rather than an MRI or CT scan. A 91-year-old woman arrived at the emergency room with a complaint of left hip pain after slipping at home.
