Double contrast arthrography of the knee. 1979

G A Foote

The author's experience with 280 double contrast knee arthrograms is presented. The accuracy of the procedure in 101 operated cases was 100 percent for normal menisci and 88 percent for abnormal. It is suggested that arthrography can be regarded as an integral part of the investigation of any knee in which a serious meniscal abnormality is suspected.
