Abstract
Positive contrast arthrography was evaluated as a diagnostic aid in ca nine cranial cruciate ligament disease. It did not appear to be useful in predicting joint pathology. With arthrography, both menisci could be visualized and evaluated for abnormalities. Joint effusion and pres ence of osteophytes evaluated on survey radiographs was better than ar thrography in evaluating joint pathology.
