Now that we know what the approach
0:04
going to be, let's show you what
0:08
as we do the arthrogram. I'm going
0:13
Here is an image.
0:15
It looks kind of funky, I know, but trust
0:20
This is after the contrast
0:23
All that's black is liquid.
0:24
Now, what did it look like
0:28
And we're going to bring that down.
0:29
And here it is right here.
0:31
This is that posterior elbow joint.
0:33
Let me just bring in both
0:36
Let me go like this and let
0:42
I'm going to zoom this up
0:45
So this little divot, this area,
0:50
corresponds to this area
0:56
So the needle is going
1:00
and we're going to hit this
1:03
When we do that, this is going
1:07
This is the fat pad.
1:08
And you can see that fat pad elevating as
1:14
which corresponds to the space
1:19
So here is a little video.
1:23
At this point, I'm approaching
1:26
And you can actually see
1:29
So let's run the video.
1:31
You can see it coming in,
1:32
coming in.
1:33
And it's parked right here.
1:36
You can see little dot right there.
1:38
I'm going to go back and forth.
1:40
Convince yourself that
1:42
And right there, we're in the joint space.
1:45
At this point, we're
1:49
And here I am injecting fluid.
1:50
What I like to do is put
1:54
When you do that,
1:58
some flow artifact, which is
2:01
So let's see what that looks like.
2:03
You see that? As I inject a contrast...
2:05
Inject contrast, you see what's
2:08
It's getting elevated from the under
2:10
surface because fluid is
2:14
And we can actually see a little bit
2:15
of motion of that motion in the vascular...
2:19
but it's actually just
2:22
And that's how we do an elbow arthrogram
