Abstract:
Recently we performed arthrography in 10 cases of ankle injuries and obtained abnormal findings roentgenographically suspected to be ligamentous injury in only 8 cases. In two cases surgical exploration was done. Although two arthrographys is not completely reliable and sufficiently specific to justify the use of this technique in elucidating injuries to the lateral ligament complex, it has value in the diagnosis of diastasis (hidden sprains of the anterior or posterior tibio-fibular ligament), in distinction between old and recent lesions and in diagnosing some sprains of the deltoid and lateral ligaments of the ankle.
