X-rays usually do not show evidence of new<unk> s, but can be used approximately three weeks after onset of pain when the bone begins to remodel. A CT scan, MRI, or 3-phase bone scan may be more effective for early diagnosis. MRI appears to be the most accurate diagnostic test. Tuning forks have been advocated as an inexpensive alternative for identifying the presence of<unk> s. The clinician places a vibrating tuning fork along the shaft of the suspected bone. If a<unk>  is present, the vibration would cause pain. This test has a low positive likelihood ratio and a high negative likelihood ratio meaning it should not be used as the only diagnostic method.
