title: Arthrography in the diagnosis of ligament injuries and classification of ankle injuries.
abstract: Arthrography was assessed in 300 cases of ankle injury to determine its diagnostic information yield and its aid in classifying ankle injuries. No complications occurred as a result of the procedure. In 59 cases, information gained from the procedure was verified at surgery. Arthrography was considered to give valuable information in 85% of the cases of ligament ruptures.
