It is used primarily in the evaluation of menisci, cruciate ligaments, articular cartilage, and loose body within a joint. Fluoroscopic allows general view of the medial, lateral, and patellofemoral ligaments of the joint, overall cartilage thickness, focal defects, imbibition (absorption} of contrast material into the articular cartilage (a sign of cartilage fibrillation - splaying and ...
