Can Metastatic Cancer Reoccur In Ribs Despite Clearance Of Squamous Cells?

My husband had a three phase bone scan to check on a problem with his hip that was surgically pinned in November, 2013. He has uptake in his hip but also the radiology also noted multiple foci uptake in the ribs . This has had complicated health issues since he was successfully treated for caner in the tonsil that went to his lungs. The guy on the test report said the ribs were concerning for osseous metastasis versus trauma. Could cancer come back to metastasis to the ribs after 6+ years of clearance of the squamous cell. Thanks for your help
