The fluoroscopic double-contrast technique of arthrography of the knee is useful in documenting the extent of suspected injury to the knee. It is of particular value in demonstrating small and large lesions involving the menisci, cruciate ligaments, patellar cartilages, as well as the articular cartilages of the femoral condyles and tibial plateaus. This examination is instrumental in the diagnosis of the patient with an atypical history of injury and unusual physical findings. A simple restraint device allows the fluoroscopist complete control over the stress applied to the knee while positioning the patient for filming. Fluoroscopic spot radiographs of excellent contrast and sharp detail can be obtained of each of the various structures, applying the stress needed. When the radiologic technologist takes a little time to become more knowledgeable about the anatomy of the knee jount, and the rationale for the various views, the knee arthrographic examination is easily understood.
