Principles of Orthopedics INVESTIGATIONS Dr. Mohammed M. Zamzam Associate Professor & Consultant Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon
3
Laboratory Blood CBC & ESR Biochemistry Serology Hormonal Essay Blood Culture Urine Chemistry Culture
4
Laboratory Joint Aspiration The procedure is often of a great help in diagnosis of many effusions producing arthropathies Diagnose or exclude septic arthritis Used routinely in haemoarthrosis A large-bore needle is used if the fluid is too viscous The aspirate undergoes microscopic, chemical, and gram stain examinations and culture & sensitivity test
6
Electro-diagnosis Detect de-enervation and its degree Observe re-enervation before clinical signs Assess the progress of a lesion Localize the lesion
7
Electro-diagnosis Elctromyography Poliomyelitis Muscle dystrophies Myelopathic diseases It can provide useful information alongside clinical examination and muscle biopsy
8
Electro-diagnosis Nerve Conduction Study Acute compression neuropathy Chronic compression or entrapment neuropathy Peripheral neuropathies Traumatic nerve lesions It is useful in differentiating between diseases of the axons and of the anterior horn cells. It determines the level of interruption of a peripheral nerve lesion.

12
Histopathology Soft Tissues Tumors Chronic arthritis (synovium) Myopathies (muscles) Neuropathies (nerve)
13
Histopathology Needle aspiration Endoscopic biopsy Open biopsy Frozen section Excisional biopsy

Osteochondroma
15
Arthroscopy Internal visual examination of joints Confirm clinical and radiological diagnosis Extension of the surgeon’s hand Therapeutic procedures Easy record of intra-articular lesions
16
Arthroscopy Knee Loose bodies Synovial membrane Articular surfaces Medial & lateral menisci Cruciate ligaments Infrapatellar fat pad
17
Arthroscopy Shoulder Biceps tendon Rotator cuff Articular surfaces Glenoid labrum Capsular ligaments
18
Arthroscopy (rare sites) Elbow Osteochondritis Dissecans Synovial biopsy Loose bodies Hip Unexplained pain Loose bodies Synovial biopsy CDH
19
Arthroscopy (rare sites) Ankle Difficult due to tight structures Osteochondral lesions Wrist Still being developed Wrist pain syndrome
