As BMOS is transient and self-limiting, conservative treatment is advised while the oedema regresses. An early diagnosis of this pathology could prevent unnecessary diagnostic investigations and invasive treatments. IV. IV. This study was designed to review the diagnostic yield of single photon emission computed tomography-computed tomography (SPECT/CT) in children with complex foot/ankle pain. We reviewed the records of 33 patients with complex foot and ankle pain referred for SPECT/CT (36 scans) performed between 1st September 2009 to 30th September 2019. All patients had foot and ankle radiographs and 18 out of 33 patients had undergone magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) prior to SPECT/CT. The diagnostic contribution of SPECT/CT was established at the time of the scan during a multi-disciplinary team meeting. The patients' mean age was 13.4 years (range six to 16.5 years) and 58% were female. In total, 18 patients had undergone previous surgical treatment. SPECT/CT was found to have decisive clinical value compared with radiographs and CT/MRI in 28 out of 36 cases. In ten patients it prompted surgical management (coalition excision, arthrodesis), in seven patients it redirected conservative management, in six patients it excluded other pathology and in five patients it showed additional/unexpected focal areas of mechanical stress, thus avoiding surgery. When compared with MRI, SPECT/CT added further clinical information in 13 out of 18 cases. SPECT/CT added decisive clinical value in five out of five patients with accessory ossicles, eight out of nine patients with tarsal coalition, five out of seven patients with surgically treated Congenital Talipes Equinovarus (CTEV) and four out of
