Zusammenfassung: | Fifty consecutive limited arthrograms in acute knee injuries are reported with operative findings in 27 knees. The arthrograms
were completely accurate regarding cruciate and medial collat eral ligament integrity in 82% of all of the cases. Improvements
in technique and recognition of superimposed anatomical struc tures led to fewer errors in interpretation as the series pro
