[Xeroradiography and soft tissue traumatology (author's transl)]

A three-year experience concerning soft tissue pathology following orthopedic and sport lesions is presented. The possibilities of xeropneumoradiography in tendon lesions (Achilles, rectus, biceps, etc.), epicondylitis, muscular lesions, articular and meniscal lesions, are discussed. Many examples are presented which show the possibilities and the difficulties encountered in soft tissue pathology. The findings clearly show that the precise xeroradiographic images allow a diagnostic gain even when routinely used for orthopedics and traumatology.
