Extravasation of Intraarticular Fluid Injection Following Canine Elbow Arthroscopy: A Cadaveric Study.

ABSTRACT: To investigate extravasation of contrast media injected intraarticularly, either immediately following elbow arthroscopy or after arthrocentesis using computed tomographic (CT) imaging at different time points.Cadaveric dog model.A total of 16 elbows of eight canine cadavers (median age 10.2 years, 5.6 to 16.8 years; median weight 35.0 kg, 26.0 to 42.0 kg) were randomly assigned to the arthroscopy group with the contralateral elbow as control. Right after elbow arthroscopy, both elbows were injected with 2.5 mL contrast fluid. Elbow CT scans were obtained at seven time points. To detect a possible loss of contrast medium from the joint, both the total volume and intensity of the contrast fluid were measured intra- and extraarticularly using rendering software. To compare volume and intensi
