Abstract
Single and double contrast arthrographic techniques were compared in 951 patients with suspected meniscal injuries. Knee exploratory surgery was performed in 384 of these patients and good clinical follow-up was obtained in 135 patients. In the latter 2 patient groups the single contrast technique was 97% accurate in assessing the medial meniscus and 96% accurate in assessing the lateral meniscus. Double contrast arthrography was 97% accurate in assessing the medial meniscus and 93% accurate in assessing the lateral meniscus. Numerical differences in the results from the 2 techniques were not statistically significant. Both techniques were equally effective diagnostically.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
