Sonographic diagnosis of an arterioarticular fistula following knee arthrocentesis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An arterioarticular fistula is an unusual complication of knee arthrocentesis. We describe the sonographic findings immediately following a failed clinical attempt at knee arthrocentesis that resulted in an arterioarticular fistula. Spectral Doppler analysis confirmed the jet of blood into the hemarthrosis. Knowledge of anatomy and application of standard technique is necessary to minimize the complications of arthrocentesis.

Does ultrasound guidance improve the outcomes of arthrocentesis and corticosteroid injection of the knee?
OBJECTIVE The present randomized controlled trial compared arthrocentesis of the effusive knee followed by corticosteroid injection performed by the conventional anatomic landmark palpation-guided technique to the same procedure performed with ultrasound (US) needle guidance. METHODS Sixty-four palpably effusive knees were randomized to (i) palpation-guided arthrocentesis with a conventional ...

Arthroscopic knee surgery to perform partial meniscectomy and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is frequent and effective, although a possible complication is postoperative intra-articular bleeding. When this complication occurs, in addition to the associated pain, the patient usually requires an arthrocentesis to avoid loss of joint mobility. Sometimes this problem ends up associ...
متن کاملThe acutely swollen knee. Part two--management of traumatic pathology.
The acutely swollen knee is a common presentation of knee pathology in the emergency department and the primary care setting, whether on board ship, in a Regimental Aid Post, or in a Medical Centre. The swollen knee has both traumatic and atraumatic (systemic) causes, all of which can be accurately diagnosed with an understanding of the underlying injury patterns and patho-anatomy. In Part 2 of...
متن کاملSonographic Diagnosis of Arterioportal Fistula
AIM We aimed to identify and describe characteristic and diagnostic ultrasonographic features of arterioportal fistula cases. PATIENTS In this case series we describe 3 patients with arterioportal fistula. By depending on shared sonographic features of these patients we describe a "sonographic pattern" for the sonographic diagnosis of arterioportal fistula. CONCLUSION In summary; both of th...
متن کاملDiagnosis and treatment of postarthroscopic synovial knee fistulae: a report of four cases and review of the literature.
Development of synovial knee fistulae following arthroscopic knee surgery is a rare but under-reported complication. The diagnosis and treatment of this complication is described in a series of four patients. Synovial knee fistula formation is a benign complication and in the majority of patients it can be treated conservatively with immobilization until healing occurs. The presence of infectio...
