- Slides: 103
1 ARTHROGRAMS RT 255 Radiography of a joint space or it’s surrounding structures with injection of contrast media
2 ARTHROGRAMS –Injected into JOINT SPACES “DOUBLE CONTRAST” –IODINE (positive contrast) • WATER soluble – (Ionic or Non-Ionic) –AIR (negaitve contrast)
3 Arthrography is concerned with synovial joints MOSTLY REPLACED BY MRI – non invasive, good detail of soft tissue structures CONTRAINDICATIONS TO MRI: • CLAUSTROPHOBIC • PT SIZE • Foreign Body (metal) • COST / INSURANCE REIMBURSEMENT
4 Anatomy of a Synovial Joint • Synovial membrane – Menisci, fat pads, and intra-articular disks • Ligaments
5 INDICATIONS FOR EXAM • This procedure is used to obtain diagnostic information regarding the joints and surrounding soft tissues or cartilage. • ligament, meniscus (cartilage), bursa Usually done for the knee • shoulder, hip, wrist, TMJ
6 Indications and Contraindications for Arthrography • Indications: – – – – Suspected injury of meniscus (tears) Suspected capsular damage Rupture of articular ligaments Cartilaginous defects Arthritic deformities (specifically TMJ) Congenital luxation ( dislocation) of hip Extent of damage from trauma • Contraindications: – Hypersensitivity to iodine
7 Clinical Symptoms • Pain • Swelling • Limited range of motion • Recurrent instability (such as ankle)
8 Contrast media • Contrast INJECTED into joint space – capsular space – bursa (30 – 100 ml may be needed) • CONTRAST – water based only – iodinated (ionic or nonionic) • Negative , positive or both (Double Contrast) • Negative – room air, CO 2 • Possible hazard of air is an air embolism • Water-soluble contrast agents – easily absorbed
9 Contrast Media keep bottle in room until end of study have several syringes available
10 PROCEDURE – PREP • Patient Prep – (none prior to exam) – Pt comfort (gown, empty bladder) • get history • check allergies • SKIN PREP – may need to shave area of injection • betadine scrub – circular motions
11 Sterile Procedure GLOVES GOWN (? )
12 Sterile tray “arthrogram tray” Aseptic technique for skin cleansing – (betadine – check for allergy) • Local anesthetic • (usually on tray, put may have to draw up – sterile procedure) • do not contaminate tray
13 Aseptic Technique betadine scrub

15 ARTHROGRAM TRAY
16 ARTHROGRAM TRAY
17 SUPPLIES Needles used – • length and gauge depends on part being examined • DR may aspirate joint prior to injection of contrast media • (have large syringes available) • Sterile gauze, towels, ace bandages
18 Needles • Smaller gauge has a larger number • Larger gauge has a smaller number • Length and gauge of needle is usually part of protocol – DR’s preference – Part being examined
19
20 Supplies Needed
21
22
23 Aspiration • Dr’s may aspirate fluids before injecting contrast media – If there is a joint effusion especially • Fluid is sent to lab in specimen vials

28 Fluid from aspiration. Sent to lab
29 KNEE ARTHOGRAM Most common problem : • Pain and Swelling, – Limited ROM (range of motion) • athletic injuries • Knee support to stress knee • Contrast Injected – then part is stressed or moved to work contrast into joint spaces –
30
31 RADIOGRAPHY • SCOUT FILMS • AP • LATERAL • Other • (CHECK WITH Radiologist)
32 CONTRAST INJECTION
33
34 KNEE ARTHROGRAM (MOST COMMON) Air and contrast material injected into the joint reveal the outlines of the joint space including the supra patellar pouch
35 FILMING - KNEE Filming done under fluoroscopy (Knee spot films may be done 9 on 1) Knee stressed to see medial and lateral meniscus • DOUBLE CONTRAST KNEE – FILMS TAKEN WITH HORIZONTAL BEAM = • contrast moves down – air moves up – shows good delineation of tissues
36 For Cruciate ligaments patient may sit on end of table • Then a cross table lateral with knee flexed 90 degrees – taken
37
38 8 on 1 spot filming
39 Knee Arthrogram • Place PT prone – Place PT in frame or stress device to open JT space – Sometimes support is placed under distal femur and small sandbag on ankle to widen JT space • Part is manipulated to disperse contrast and often multiple spot films are taken under fluoroscopy
40 Knee stressed to see medial and lateral meniscus
41 Knee Arthrogram • Overheads are done – AP, lateral, 20 degree right and left oblique – Sometimes Interconyloid fossa projections are required • Single contrast study for a torn meniscus may fail to demonstrate the tear • Usually single contrast studies are used to demonstrate loose particles of the JT • Post procedure – PT may feel tightness – This should go away in 1 -2 days – Can be treated with analgesics
42 Meniscus Tears • Symptoms may include: • "Popping" sound at the time of the injury • Pain • Tightness • Swelling within the knee, often called "water on the knee" • Locking up, catching, or giving way of the knee • Tenderness in the joint
43 Knee Arthrogram double contrast study • smaller amounts of contrast can be used – Decreases discomfort to PT – Provides are more accurate study – Demonstrates menisci the best – Positive contrast coats menisci – Air rises
44 Knee Arthrogram: • Apply same principles Scout films: often AP, Lateral and oblique – Check with DEPT protocol • Anesthetic injected • Contrast is injected (double contrast study) • PT placed semiprone • Knee is manually stressed while spot films are taken (medial & lateral meniscus)
45 Horizontal Knee Radiographs Spot Films Medial Meniscus AP LAT
46 For Cruciate Ligaments • Double Contrast study • PT’ s sits with knee flexed 90 degrees over the side of the table • Firm pillow placed under knee so that forward pressure can be applied • PT holds IR with grid • Closely collimate • Tightly overexposed lateral projection is made
47 CT Knee Arthrography • PT gets a regular arthrogram in radiology • Then is taken to CT for imaging • Can be single or double contrast (water soluble iodine) – Usually double
48 • Gadolinium contrast is used • Contraindications include metal in body, claustrophobia, & PT size MRI Knee Arthrography
49 Ace Bandages Wrap joint after contrast injection
50 MEDIAL MENISCUS
51
52 MRI
53 BAKERS CYST a collection of synovial fluid which has escaped from the knee joint or a bursa formed a new synovial-lined sac in the popliteal space seen in degenerative or other joint diseases
54
55 HIP ARTHROGRAM • Children - to check for congenital hip dislocation – before and after treatment • Adults – to check position of hip prosthesis - subtraction gives better images • Note: cement in the joint and contrast have the same density – see pg 567 Merrill’s
56
57 C-ARM FOR NEEDLE LOC
58 Hip Arthrogram • Common puncture site – ¾ “ distal to the inguinal crease – ¾” lateral to the palpated femoral pulse • Spinal needle is used due to how deep the hip joint is into the body.

71 SHOULDER ARTHROGRAM • Done for evaluation of partial or complete tears of the ROTATOR CUFF • Persistent Pain, Weakness and “Frozen Shoulder” • May do single or double contrast - 10 -12 ml of contrast
72 Shoulder Arthrogram • The usual objection site is approx ½ inch inferior & lateral to the coracoid process • Usually spinal needle is used because the joint capsule is usually deep • Scout films: AP (internal & external), 30 degree oblique, axillary, tangential – See Chapter 5 for PT and part positioning AP scout
73 SCOUT FILMS • AP – – INTERNAL & EXTERNAL ROTATION • GRASHEY (OBL FOR FOSSA) • AXILLARY (THUMB UP) FOR GROOVE • TRANSTHORACIC or Y -VIEW
74 Shoulder Arthrogram • Indications: – Partial or complete tears of rotator cuff – Tears of glenoid labrum – Persistent pain or weakness – Frozen shoulder • Single or double contrast can be used – Single 10 -12 ml – Double 3 -4 positive contrast and 10 -12 of air
75 Normal Shoulder Arthrograms Single Contrast Double Contrast
76 Shoulder Single and Double contrast Single contrast
77
78 Rotator Cuff Tear
79 Shoulder Arthrogram • After double contrast shoulder arthrogram CT may be used in some patients – In 5 mm intervals through shoulder joint • CT scans have shown to be more sensitive and reliable in diagnosis Small chip on anterior surface on glenoid cavity

91 Wrist Arthrogram • Indications: trauma, persistent pain, limited ROM. • Contrast is injected through the dorsal wrist at the articulation of the radius, scaphoid and lunate – 1. 5 -4 ml water soluble iodinated contrast • After injection the wrist is carefully moved to spread contrast • Under fluoro or tape recording the wrist is rotated for exact area of leakage • AP, LAT and both obliques often taken (check DEPT protocols
92 WRIST ARTHROGRAM • Trauma, persistent pain, limited rom • Wrist gently manipulated after contrast media injection • 1. 5 – 4 ml of contrast injected

96 Wrist Arthrogram
97 Wrist Arthrogram Rheumatoid Arthritis
98 OTHER JOINT SPACES • ANKLE • TMJ (USUALLY DONE IN CT)
99
100 TMJ Arthrogram • CT and MRI have largely replaced TMJ arthrography because they are noninvasive • Useful in diagnosing – Abnormalities of the articular disk • Indications: pain, clicking sound, lock jaw when chewing sticky candy – Starburst – Taffy
