ABSTRACT
Double contrast arthrography has been widely accepted as a method to diagnose the internal derangement of the knee. It is a safe and technically simple procedure permitting accurate diagnosis of lesions of the menisci. In 20 cases operated upon, with the diagnosis of internal derangement of the knee, we performed double contrast arthrography before surgery. We analysed the cases concerning the diagnostic accuracy of arthrography, its clinical significance and discrepancies between arthrographic findings and postoperative lesions. The results were as follows 1. The cases consisted of 16 cases of meniscal lesion, 4 cases of ligamentous lesion and 3 cases of loose body. 2. In the meniscal lesions, 14 of the 16 cases (87.5%) were diagnosed accurately by arthrography, Therefore arthrography was more useful in diagnosing meniscal lesions as compared with clincal symptoms (69%). 3. In cases of ligamentous lesions arthrography was not significant-ly helfpful, in contrast clinical signs afforded important clues. 4. We encountered 1 case of false positive and 1 case of false negative.
