[Synergistic joint diagnosis].
Many methods are useful in the diagnosis of diseases of the joints. Noninvasive methods deserve preference; invasive techniques such as arthrography and arthroscopy are second choice, after noninvasive methods have been applied. The synergic combination of the two last-named methods has proved successful. Arthrography, performed before arthroscopy in the operation theatre, supplements arthroscopy findings and extends the diagnostic value of the arthroscopic findings, in a similar manner as the combination of computed tomography and arthrography.
