Arthrometry is used after surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament injury to confirm stability. Bone scans are used to identify bone disease. Arthroscopy is used to diagnose and repair specific disorders of the knee. A bone marrow biopsy is used to examine the bone marrow for abnormal tissue growth.

A residual volume of greater than 100 mL is abnormal. The other volumes would be considered within normal limits.
