Abstract
Sonography was used in the preoperative evaluation of the hip joint in 14 patients with juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA). The joint capsule distension found at sonography and the intracapsular pressure were increased in patients with severe synovitis revealed at arthroscopy. Sonography and intracapsular pressure-recording can be recommended for assessments of synovitis of the hip joint in JCA.Entities:
