C) Wrist Arthrography
Primary indication: trauma, persistent pain or limitation of motion.
Injection of contrast: ( 1.5 to 4 ml )
Position: PA, lateral and both obliques.
D) Hip Arthrography
* is performed most often on children to evaluate congenital hip dislocation befoe treatment.
In adults: primary use of hip arthrography is to detect a loose hip prosthesis
or to confirm the presence of infection.
* The cement used to fasten hip prosthesis had a barium sulfate added to
make the determination of the cement.
* Adition of barium sulfate to cement is an advantage in confirming proper seating of the prosthesis. Because both the cement and prosthesis produce the same approximate radiographic density.
