Article Synopsis
- The study examines knee arthrography as a potential diagnostic tool for open knee injuries, comparing its effectiveness to the gold standard of CT scans, which have downsides like cost and radiation exposure.
- Conducted with 43 patients, the study found that CT scans diagnosed open knee injuries in 11.6% of cases, while knee arthrography showed high sensitivity (83.3%) and specificity (96.5%).
- The results suggest that knee arthrography could be a safer and more cost-effective alternative to CT scanning for diagnosing open knee injuries, especially when considering the risks of radiation.
