| In January 1992, arthrography was done of the left knee, which showed according to Dr. Bernard Parent no sign of any tearing of the meniscus. |
|
| Electromyography, arthrography, shoulder arthroscopy or MRI tests may be required. |
|
| Most patients undergo arthrography because it has been recommended by their orthopaedic surgeon or primary care physician, also called the referring physician. |
|
| No special preparation is necessary before arthrography. |
|
| Arthrography is particularly effective for detecting tears or lesions of the structures and ligaments of the joints, especially the knee, wrist and elbow, as well as rotator cuff tears or damage from a shoulder dislocation. |
