Department of Radiology, Medical College, Rohtak.

The arthrographic examination was carried out in 25 patients with non-traumatic painful wrist of more than 6 weeks duration. Plain x-rays were non-contributory in making any diagnosis in 20 cases. Arthrography was performed even when plain x-rays were normal and it revealed the soft tissue abnormalities and early phases of cartilage destruction not visible on routine roentgenograms. The extent of synovial involvement demonstrated on arthrography proved useful when synovectomy was planned. After operation pain and swelling disappeared and functions of the joint improved considerably.
