Arthrography of the dislocated elbow joint.

P O Josefsson, L Andrén, C F Gentz

    Acta Radiologica: Diagnosis
    |January 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Arthrography is unreliable for diagnosing ligament injuries after elbow dislocation. Contrast leakage often localized to the primary injury site, limiting its diagnostic accuracy for collateral ligament ruptures.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Elbow dislocations often involve ligamentous injuries.
    • Arthrography is a diagnostic imaging technique used to evaluate joint structures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the reliability of arthrography in diagnosing ligament ruptures following elbow dislocation reduction.

    Main Methods:

    • Arthrography was performed on 14 patients post-reduction of non-fractured elbow dislocations.
    • Elbow stability was assessed under general anesthesia.
    • Half of the patients underwent surgical exploration and ligament repair.

    Main Results:

    • Arthrography proved unreliable in diagnosing ligament injuries, even when performed within 24 hours.
    • Contrast medium leakage was generally confined to the primary injury site.
    • Diagnostic accuracy was limited in identifying specific collateral ligament ruptures.

    Conclusions:

    • Arthrography is not a dependable method for diagnosing ligament injuries after elbow dislocation.
    • The localized nature of contrast leakage hinders comprehensive assessment of ligamentous damage.
