Laboratory tests required for orthopaedic reasons

What tests are carried out?

Diagnostics always begins with a thorough physical examination by a doctor. This often enables a reliable diagnosis to be made. However, in certain cases, additional tests may be required:

  • Laboratory tests of the blood
  • General inflammation values: To clarify systemic inflammation.
  • Specific inflammation markers: Examination for rheumatoid factors or bacterial antibodies.
  • Genetic tests: Detection of genetic predispositions, e.g. the HLA-B27 gene in certain forms of arthritis.
  • Tumour markers: To clarify a suspected tumour.
  • Joint puncture: In the case of unclear or purulent joint effusions, fluid is removed from the affected joint and examined in the laboratory.

These comprehensive examinations are used to make an accurate diagnosis and enable targeted treatment.
