Title: Limited arthrography in acute knee injuries. Author: Tongue JR, Larson RL. Journal: Am J Sports Med; 1980; 8(1):19-23. PubMed ID: 7356795. Abstract: Fifty consecutive limited arthrograms in acute knee injuries are reported with operative findings in 27 knees. The arthrograms were completely accurate regarding cruciate and medial collateral ligament integrity in 82% of all of the cases. Improvements in technique and recognition of superimposed anatomical structures led to fewer errors in interpretation as the series progressed. Limited arthrography is recommended as a useful office procedure in the early evaluation of knee ligament integrity in acute painful knee injuries.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
