Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: AIM: Hip arthrography usually requires the injection of iodine based dyes which can cause complications. We wanted to determine the accuracy of using air for hip arthrography. METHOD: A prospective study was undertaken including all adults who had a hip arthrogram. We initially did an air arthrogram and subsequently injected iohexol to see if we were still in the joint. RESULTS: Forty injections were done. Mean age 32 years. There was a 100% success rate with obtaining a positive air arthrogram. CONCLUSION: Air arthrogram of the hip offers a safe, cost free and accurate alternative to iodine based arthrograms.
