Your bones, cartilage, ligaments, muscles, and tendons can all be damaged by disease and injury. To diagnose your condition, your doctor will take a thorough medical history, perform a physical examination, and order imaging studies usually X-rays. For some conditions, an additional imaging study such as a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan or a computerized tomography (CT) scan may also be needed. After making a diagnosis, your doctor will determine the most appropriate treatment choice for your condition. Although the inside of nearly all joints can be viewed with an arthroscope, six joints are most frequently examined with this instrument. These are the knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle, hip and wrist. As advances are made in fiberoptic technology and new techniques are developed by orthopedic surgeons, other joints may be treated more frequently in the future.
