We next sent him out for a bone scan. A 3-phase, radionuclide bone scan using technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate remains the criterion standard for detecting early heterotopic ossification. The examination consists of a radionuclide angiogram followed by a blood pool image over the suggestive site. A…

Swelling in the area is also a big sign of Osteosarcoma, although it could come on weeks after the pain has started. This is more of a symptom found in the elderly though, as children and teens are generally more active. The second is bone fractures, which occur from the weakness of the bone matrix. A rare form of Osteosarcoma, called Telangiectatic Osteosarcoma, which causes the weakened part of the bone to fracture, but not fully break. Constant bone fractures in the same location are a sign of Osteosarcoma (“Signs and symptoms”, 2014).…
