Contrast studies are also extremely useful for the assessment of joint and tendon sheath integrity following a '''traumatic incident'''. Contrast can either be injected into the penetrating wound tract to assess dispersal of the medium. Alternatively, contrast can be injected into a joint or tendon sheath in an area away from the puncture, and leakage through the wound can be assessed. | Contrast studies are also extremely useful for the assessment of joint and tendon sheath integrity following a '''traumatic incident'''.
