Double contrast knee arthrography in the evaluation of osteochondritis dissecans.

Double contrast knee arthrography is an invaluable adjunct in the evaluation of patients with osteochondritis dissecans. The cartilage overlying the osteochondritic defect can be evaluated and unsuspected meniscal pathology accurately diagnosed. In our series, there were three unsuspected medial meniscal tears, diagnosed by arthrography and confirmed at surgery. The location of the osteochondritic defect was atypical in all four of our female patients.

Hypotonic examination of the colon with glucagon.

The authors report their experience with glucagon in the barium enema examination. Two milligrams of glucagon given intramuscularly was found to be safe and effective in overcoming functional spasm, permitting more detailed evaluation of organic narrowing. The relatively infrequent side effects and few contraindications seen with glucagon make it the drug of choice when reduction in intestinal tone is indicated.

Lymphatic visualization during hip arthrography.

Lymphatic visualization at arthrography has been reported previously in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The authors describe this phenomenon in 4 patients undergoing arthrography of the hip following prosthetic surgery, only one of whom had a history of rheumatoid arthritis. It is suggested that lymphatic visualization is not a reliable indicator of any specific type of arthritis, but rather an ancillary sign of inflammation, and that it may occur whenever lymphatic hyperplasia or increased synovial membrane permeability is present.
