| pubmed-article:1132188 | pubmed:abstractText | Arthrography is a proven and well-established diagnostic aid in the evaluation and treatment of lesions in several joints; it provides useful information in the treatment of shoulder and wrist lesions. The procedure can be used whenever the cause of shoulder pain is in doubt. Arthrography of the shoulder can aid in the diagnosis of a variety of lesions: rotator cuff tear, subluxation of the shoulder, recurrent dislocation, subluxation and tear of the biceps tendon, the frozen shoulder, anterior capsular derangements, and combinations of these abnormalities. Arthrography has occasional, but definite use in the wrist, particularly in recurrent ganglion, painful ganglion on the flexor aspect of the wrist, and in the evaluation of the post-traumatic wrist with unexplained pain. | lld:pubmed |
