FERNANDEZ VITORTES, RAÚL et al. Knee arthrography with double contrast: Diagnostic value in the meniscus injuries. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 1997, vol.11, n.1-2, pp. 91-98. ISSN 1561-3100.

Simple knee radiographies were made first with anteroposterior, lateral and axial views. After that, it was performed the arthrocentesis for injecting the fluid contrasts, and then the fluoroscopic examination and X-ray taking at different degrees of rotation of the knee. Finally, their medical histories were reviewed and it was established the clinicoradiological and surgical relationship that was adequate in 88.8 % of the cases, which showed the diagnostic value of the study.
