Test puncture

Test puncture is one of the methods for diagnosing diseases of the musculoskeletal system and osteoarticular system. In most cases, this method is used as an additional diagnostic to determine an accurate diagnosis, but it can also be used as an independent research method. The test puncture is performed as part of an ultrasound procedure (ultrasound examination).

The purpose of a test puncture is to obtain a sample of soft tissue for further analysis through additional research in the laboratory or microscopy. To achieve this goal, the doctor performs a test puncture using a catheter needle. The needle penetrates the soft tissue and takes a sample of biological material for subsequent analysis.

The main advantages of trial puncture are speed, painlessness and non-invasiveness. The procedure is performed using a local anesthetic, so the patient does not experience any discomfort during the procedure. Also, due to the small size of the needle, the risk of damage to the skin and soft tissues is minimized, which makes the test puncture even safer.

The main disadvantage of test puncture is the risk of soft tissue infection. This is especially true when working with blood and other infectious media. Therefore, the puncture must take place strictly in sterile conditions under the strict supervision of medical personnel. It is important to note that this procedure should only be performed by a qualified physician-scientist who has the appropriate skills and experience.
