Retrograde Synovial Biopsy of the Knee Joint Using a Novel Biopsy Forceps
Synovial biopsies of the knee joint are commonly performed arthroscopically with the patient under full or regional anesthesia. To overcome the effort, costs, and potential risks of surgery, we developed an office-based technique for retrograde synovial biopsy using a designated novel biopsy forceps...
