Ultrasound scanning techniques were used to examine the popliteal space in 102 knees. In 30 of 34 knees in which arthrograms were also obtained, the information obtained from both tests was the same. In two instances in which there were different results, the presence of palpable popliteal cysts was confirmed by ultrasound scans but not by arthrography, and in two other cases, small asymptomatic cysts were seen on arthrograms but not on ultrasound scans. In the 68 other knees, ultrasound scans were helpful in the differential diagnosis of popliteal cysts, popliteal artery aneurysms, thrombophlebitis, and a solid poplitieal mass. The results indicate that ultrasound scanning is a valuable, rapid, safe, accurate technique in evaluating patients with symptoms or findings related to the popliteal space.
采用超声扫描技术对102个膝关节的腘窝间隙进行检查。在同时进行关节造影的34个膝关节中，有30个膝关节两种检查结果一致。在2例结果不同的病例中，超声扫描证实存在可触及的腘窝囊肿，而关节造影未证实；在另外2例病例中，关节造影发现了小的无症状囊肿，而超声扫描未发现。在其他68个膝关节中，超声扫描有助于腘窝囊肿、腘动脉动脉瘤、血栓性静脉炎和腘窝实性肿块的鉴别诊断。结果表明，超声扫描是评估有腘窝间隙相关症状或体征患者的一种有价值、快速、安全且准确的技术。
