Ultrasound ofjoints
Ultrasound of the joints is a diagnostic method that is often used in rheumatology because it is painless and does not involve harmful radiation. In children, it is used to examine the soft tissues, tendons and muscles surrounding the joint, as well as the cartilage and bone structures inside the joint, all for the purpose of showing inflammatory joint changes.

Puncture ofthe joint
Joint puncture is the procedure of removing joint fluid from the space around the joint with the help of needles and syringes. It is performed under local anesthesia, and can be performed in:
diagnostic purposes, when the punctured fluid is sent for cytological and microbiological analysis and
therapeutic purposes when the evacuation of joint fluid leads to the reduction of joint swelling, which reduces pain and enables better joint mobility, while at the same time a long-acting preparation is installed in the joint corticosteroids, which further reduce inflammation
