ABSTRACT:
Plain tendonography is not very common choice for diagnosis tendon defects however; using contrast agent in last few decades to raise the ability of identifying the abnormalities of the tendon was increased. The aim of this study was to compare two techniques, the plain and negative tendonography on identifying the defects of the injured tendon in rabbit model.
Tendon injury was induced in ten adult rabbits by external trauma then a radiological examination of the injured tendon was examined at 0,14, 28, 42 and 56 days after inducing injury using two techniques, a plain and negative tendonography.
The results showed that the abnormalities of the tendon and adjacent structure recognized in both of the two groups in early stage after injury however, the changes were significantly clearer in negative tendonography in comparison to the plain tendonography.
