Yes, it is relatively normal to see mild uptake on a nuclear bone scan at the margins of a knee prosthesis. This uptake can indicate normal physiological healing or reactive changes around the implant. However, it is essential to correlate these findings with clinical symptoms and other imaging studies to rule out any complications, such as infection or loosening of the prosthesis. Always consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate interpretation based on individual circumstances.
