The aim of the tertiary survey was the reduction of these rates. However, high numbers of missed injuries continue to be reported. The aim of this prospective, single-center, blinded clinical diagnostic study was to determine whether the standardised use of 3-phase whole-body skeletal scintigraphy in severely injured patients can reduce the number of missed injuries compared with the established standard procedure for polytrauma diagnosis.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>26 patients aged 18 years or older (median 53.5 years, 4 female, 22 male) with an ISS\u2009\u2265\u20099 were evaluated by an orthopaedic and trauma surgeon using skeletal scintigraphy after completion of standardised trauma room diagnostics and tertiary survey, a median of 7 days after trauma. All clinical and diagnostic examinations were then analysed and a final consensus was reached on the bony injuries. An evaluation of each procedure against the consensus was performed for the whole body and five body regions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Skeletal scintigraphy was clearly superior to the established method (sensitivity 98.8% vs. 75.4%).
