Abstract
Diagnostic needle arthroscopy performed in office is a safe and cost-effective method for accurate evaluation of intra-articular pathology, improving clinical decision making. This minimally invasive approach is an effective alternative to traditional diagnostic techniques of diagnostic surgical arthroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Needle arthroscopy is considered low-risk, with an extremely low complication rate when performed with appropriate technique and indications. The purpose of this article is to describe an approach to an in-office diagnostic procedure using a needle arthroscopy system.
