Abstract

Arthrography is considered a safe procedure with rare reactions to intra-articular contrast administration. Although the use of intra-articular contrast carries a small risk of reaction, no prior serious complications had been encountered in our experience with arthrography. We report a patient’s prolonged reaction to contrast media after an arthrogram of the hip. Literature review demonstrated no prior report of contrast media reactions to hip arthrography. Therefore, we decided to review the literature and report our case.
