These lesions are identified scintigraphically by IRU located within the trabecular bone determined on two tangential projections. Although reported to be found close to nutrient foramina [111], this is not consistent. No definitive aetiology has been established, but one proposal is that they are trabecular microfractures caused by cyclical stress [112, 113]. The degree of IRU uptake can vary from mild to marked.
