Summary
Diagnostic arthroscopy should be considered as a refinement of clinical diagnosis with regard to specific joint tissue abnormalities, such as synovitis and adhesion formation, and their severity. This method is also advised prior to scheduled surgery, to record intra-articular findings and relate them to clinical signs and symptoms. In the future, diagnostic arthroscopy could be valuable in the detection of early pathologic changes of articular cartilage, especially when combined with chemical joint fluid analysis.
