Abstract
Frostbite is a localized cold thermal injury, as a result of tissue exposure to temperatures below freezing point for a prolonged period of time. The spectrum of injury is broad; thus, frostbite injuries may have deleterious effects with the possibility of losing part or whole extremities. We aim to present the case of a 38-year-old male patient evaluated with multiphase technetium-99m-methylene diphosphonate bone scintigraphy. This methodology may accelerate clinical management of frostbite injuries because it provides precise clinical-imaging correlation by determining the extent of injury and can accurately predict the level of amputation if required.
