Feedback:
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used in viewing joints for diagnostic and treatment purposes. Surgeons use arthroscopy to diagnose and treat joint disorders. For example, foreign or loose objects (e.g., a piece of cartilage, a bone spur) can be removed. An arthrogram is an x-ray study of a joint (e.g., knee or shoulder). A bone scan is used to detect primary bone tumors, metastatic bone disease, osteomyelitis, osteoporosis, inflammation, bone or joint infections, and stress fractures. Arthrocentesis is aspiration of synovial fluid, blood, or pus from a joint cavity.
