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