Evaluation of popliteal cysts and painful calves with ultrasonography: comparison with arthrography.
Grey-scale ultrasonography will detect reliably the presence of clinically significant popliteal cysts, fluid collections which do not fill by arthrography, and will frequently demonstrate ruptured cysts and the soft tissue changes resulting from a recent leak. Forty-eight knees, in 25 patients with popliteal and/or calf pain were examined by ultrasonography followed by arthrography. Popliteal ...

The correct diagnosis of ruptured popliteal cyst was later established by arthrography and phlebography. Attention is drawn to the unreliability of the radiofibrinogen uptake test in the presence...

متن کاملSome observations on venous pressure estimations in the lower limb.
In this paper we report an investigation of venous pressures during exercise in ambulant patients. The investigation was undertaken because we wished to assess more accurately the abnormal venous mechanisms in patients complaining of swollen, painful or ulcerated legs. Phlebography, upon which great reliance has formerly been placed, has two limitations. Firstly, it yields only a knowledge of a...
