An Evaluation of Knee Single-contrast Arthrography with Low Density Contrast Medium.

Low density single-contrast arthrography of forty knees thirty eight patents were evaluated. The author read each arthrogram with the name blinded, and then compared this with the findings at arthroscopy. No meniscal tears were diagnosed on 40 out of 43 normal menisci, meniscal injuries were also diagnosed in 31 out of 37 cases of meniscal injury by low density single-contrast arthrograpy. The authors regard arthrography as having high diagnostic value.
