Arthrography

Arthrography is a method of examining joints that provides a visual image of their internal structure and condition. This method is widely used in medicine to diagnose various joint diseases.

Arthrography is performed using special injections that contain a dye that allows visualization of the internal structures of the joint. After the injection, a needle is inserted into the joint, through which the dye enters the joint cavity. A series of x-rays are then taken to provide an image of the joint.

Advantages of arthrography:

– High diagnostic accuracy – arthrography allows you to obtain a detailed image of the internal structure of the joint, which allows you to accurately determine its condition and identify even small changes.
– Possibility of diagnosis in the early stages of the disease – arthrography can help identify joint diseases at an early stage, when symptoms have not yet appeared.
– Soft tissue imaging – arthrography helps visualize the soft tissue around the joint, which can be useful in determining the extent of damage.
– Low invasiveness – the arthrography procedure does not require surgery, which makes it less traumatic for the patient.

However, like any other research method, arthrography has its limitations and contraindications. For example, it may be contraindicated if you are allergic to the dye or if you have severe heart or lung disease. Arthrography is also not recommended for patients with bleeding disorders or infections in the joint area.

Arthrography is a type of radiography used in traumatology and orthopedics. An arthrogram is used to diagnose violations of the integrity of joint surfaces and cartilage tissue; the anterior periarticular parts of the joint are examined.

Arthrography allows you to assess the condition of the articular cartilage and the severity of arthrosis. Information about the presence of cartilage damage and the degree of swelling is valuable. In case of a fracture of the patella, synov
