Arthrographic Studies on the Ankle Joint

During the last few years roentgenologic investigations on injuries in the joints have been supplemented to an ever-increasin extent by means of contrast injections in the joint.The studies on t fl e roentgen anatomy and roentgen pathology of the knee joint, made in Sweden by LAGERGREN, JUNGHAGEN, PALMER, and LINDBLOM, are already wellknown.Arthrographic studies of the shoulder joint have also been made by LINDBLOM, PETTERSSON, and A x ~N .Such good results have been obtained through the use of this method of examination, from a diagnostic point of view, that we have begun using it during the last few months on ankle injuries also.The method was first tried by JONSSON and PALMER on a few cases a t the Military Hospital at Stockholm.
