Elbow arthrogram
Posterolateral approach or direct posterior approach
•Direct posterior into olecranon fossa recommended in young children to prevent scuffing of articular cartilage Inject NS first to confirm smooth injection
•Then inject contrast
•Bring through range of motion
•If pinning is needed, arthrogram aids visualization of pin starting points on capitellum
•Aids assessment of quality of reduction by seeing anterior humeral line intersecting capitellum
