Synovial fluid and what it may contain - cartilaginous and sometimes bony wear particles, as well as soft tissue fragments - can be studied using this method . The latter is often taken to diagnose the pathological state of arthritic joints, and to monitor the progression of the disease. Synovial volumes ranging from 3 to over 20 mL can be collected from a patient (with an average of 15 mL). For a healthy joint, the volume is generally 1 mL or less. Several authors have shown that ferrographic analysis of synovium can be more effective than conventional arthroscopy, which...
