“…Yun et al 11 reported the suction-bubble technique, in which the movement of air bubbles can be visualized in the attached tubing. Straw et al 12 reported a method based on adduction signs. According to their method, saline is injected into the hip with the patient in the frog-leg position: if the needle is correctly placed, then, when the joint is distended, the knee will rise (adduct) from the operating table.…”

Arthrography is useful method to evaluate obstruct factors and the congruity of the femoral head for developmental dysplasia of the hip. We usually use an air injection to ascertain whether the needle is accurately insert intraarticularly, because leakage of the contrast medium may make it difficult to identify intraarticular structure in the hip joint. We report the experience the case that suspected air embolism by air injection in the arthrogram. An air injection for arthrography must be avoided the case of infants. To confirm that a needle is correctly inserted intraarticularly, it is preferable to inject saline. Alternatively, it may be suitable to use sonography for confirming the position of the needle for arthrography.
