The purpose of these guidelines is to offer nuclear medicine teams a framework that could prove helpful in daily practice. The guidelines include information related to the indications, acquisition, processing and interpretation of bone scans in children, focusing primarily on (99m)Tc-labelled diphosphonate scintigraphy, and also recommendations with regard to the emerging use of PET with (18)F-fluoride.

Introduction: Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dislocations, particularly pure SIJ dislocations without associated fractures, represent a rare and complex subset of pelvic ring injuries. Given the intricate pelvic anatomy and the need to achieve both stability and functional recovery, the optimal surgical management for these injuries remains a topic of debate. This systematic review aims to evaluate the various surgical techniques employed in treating this rare and challenging injury and assess associated clinical outcomes and complications.
