[The "unreadable" knee arthrogram. The problem and proposal of a new method: air- and magnification-technic]
Abstract:
The problem of the difficulty experienced by non-radiologists in reading a convention knee arthrogram is discussed. A new method is proposed, consisting of air as contrast medium in combination with direct radiological magnification. Operative control of the first 100 patients showed correct arthrographic diagnosis in 91%. The advantage of the new method is a better presentation of meniscus pathology to the operating surgeon and the possibility of video documentation.
