  • Title: [Arthrography of the fingers and carpus in inflammatory rheumatic conditions (author's transl)].
    Author: Glogowski A, Laval-Jeantet M, Stora P.
    Journal: J Radiol Electrol Med Nucl; 1976 Dec; 57(12):873-9. PubMed ID: 1011194.
    Abstract:
    Arthrography before isotope synoviorthesis of the fingers and wrists was carried out in 185 patients suffering from inflammatory rheumatic conditions. Signs of synovitis were found in approximately 80 per cent of cases and were accompanied by rupture of the synovial capsule (70 per cent) and capsular retraction (in advanced forms). Lymphatic passage was seen in 30 to 40 per cent of cases. Two interesting points may be emphasised: 1 degrees Arthrographic lesions may precede bone erosion. 2 degrees The contrast medium fills the eodes and erosions in active forms. Arthrography, which is essential to satisfactory synoviorthesis, is also of diagnostic and prognostic value.
