Bone scintigraphy has limited value in predicting component loosening prior to hip arthroplasty revision

Objectives: Aseptic loosening is amongst the most common causes of a painful total hip arthroplasty (THA) yet it can be challenging to validate this diagnosis. 3-phase bone scintigraphy (TPBS) has been suggested to improve detection of component loosening, but its diagnostic value remains controversial.
