Arthrometry is a diagnostic test used to measure the stability of a joint, particularly the knee joint, following ACL reconstruction surgery. This test measures the range of motion and degree of instability in the knee, providing valuable information about the success of the surgical repair. A bone scan is used to detect abnormalities in bone tissue, while arthroscopy is a surgical procedure used to visualize the inside of a joint. A bone marrow biopsy is used to diagnose blood disorders or cancers.
