Ankle tenography. A therapeutic imaging modality.
Ankle tenography is an easily learned technique for the treatment of tenosynovitis. This article describes the procedure in detail and discusses the indications and contraindications for tenography. The anatomy of the ankle tendons is briefly reviewed. This article familiarizes radiologists with this minimally-invasive therapeutic modality so that they can offer it as an option for their referring physicians, who often have few other choices when it comes to managing patients with chronic ankle pain.
