Arthrography of the knee: a comparative study of the accuracy of single and double contrast techniques

CJ Tegtmeyer, FC McCue 3d, SM Higgins and DW Ball

Single and double contrast arthrographic techniques were compared in 951 patinets with suspected meniscal injuries. Exploratory surgery of the knee was performed in 384 of these patients and good clinical follow-up was obtained in 135 patients. In the latter two groups of patients, the single contrast technique was 97% accurate in assessing the medial meniscus and 96% accurate in assessing the lateral meniscus. Double contrast arthrography was 97% accurate in assessing the medial meniscus and 93% accurate in assessing the lateral meniscus. Numerical differences in the results from the two techniques were not statistically significant. Therefore both techniques can be considered equally effective diagnostically.
