Description: Healing of acetabular bone grafts may be difficult to assess in conventional radiographs. We used PET to analyze healing of morselized bone allografts, impacted in large osteolytic acetabular defects at revision arthroplasty.
NTERPRETATION: We found PET to be a sensitive and useful method for evaluation of the spatial and temporal development of bone formation.
