Arthrography.

Abstract

Arthrography is being performed more often, probably due to its recognition by radiologists and orthopedists as a useful diagnostic aid. Many recent advances in technique have helped to increase diagnostic accuracy and it has earned wider acceptance. The fundamentals of arthrography are fairly well known and covered in the literature. This monograph attempts to bring together practical points considered to be relevant to the arthrographer. The subjects covered for each joint are self-explanatory; the local anatomy, the technique involved and interpretation of the results are discussed from the purely medical and technical point of view and films are provided as a technical guide.

[Ankle prostheses. Mid-term results after Thompson-Richards and STAR prostheses].

Thirty-seven patients with 20 cemented Thompson-Richards prostheses and 19 cementless S.T.A.R. prostheses (2 bilateral cases) were followed up after 1-12 years. Rheumatoid arthritis was the main diagnosis in both populations, with females dominating. The investigation was based on the Kofoed ankle score. At follow-up the total scoring improved to 86.9 pts. in S.T.A.R. and to 77.7 pts. in T.R.P. replacement. The radiological examination showed a high rate of radiolucency for the tibial component (53.3%) in cemented T.R.P.; subsidence of talar component was seen in 3 cases with T.R.P. In cementless S.T.A.R. prothesis only 3 cases showed small radiolucent lines of the flat tibial component. Talar subsidence was not seen at all. In T.R.P. we had two revisions due to prothesis loosening and one maleollar fracture, giving a cumulative estimated survival rate of 87% at 12 years. In the S.T.A.R. prosthesis group two revisions had to be performed because of one meniscal breakage and correction of meniscal height. The estimated survival rate at 6 years was 94.3%.

High-resolution US of non-traumatic recurrent dislocation of the peroneal tendons: a case report.

We report the case of a young girl with recurrent sharp pain in the outer aspect of the ankle. She had no previous trauma. High-resolution US (HRUS) showed a complete intermittent dislocation of the peroneal tendons. Post-traumatic chronic peroneal instability is quite common, whereas complete dislocation is rare. HRUS is an important adjunct to clinical examination and radiographic evaluation of patients with musculoskeletal disorders of the foot and ankle [1]. This paper reports its value in non-traumatic recurrent dislocation of the peroneal tendons.
