Arthrography in the Diagnosis of Ligament Injuries and Classification of Ankle Injuries

Abstract

Arthrography was assessed in 300 cases of ankle injury to determine its diagnostic information yield and its aid in classifying ankle injuries. No complications occurred as a result of the procedure. In 59 cases, information gained from the procedure was verified at surgery. Arthrography was considered to give valuable information in 85% of the cases of ligament ruptures.
