AB We report a case of rare incidental initial detection of unsuspected arterial supply compromise to the right lower extremity on a bone scan obtained to rule out fracture in a patient with right hip pain after a fall. Follow-up CT angiogram confirmed near-complete occlusion of right lower extremity arteries for which patient underwent above-knee amputation.
