The answer is False: Arthrotomy is an incision into a joint, but it is not specifically for the purpose of removing accumulated fluid.

Explanation:

  • Arthrotomy refers to a surgical procedure that involves making an incision into a joint. This procedure is typically performed to gain access to the joint for various reasons, such as to repair or remove damaged tissue, to perform a biopsy, or to treat joint infections.
  • The removal of accumulated fluid from a joint is more accurately described by the term "arthrocentesis" or "joint aspiration," which involves using a needle to puncture the joint and withdraw fluid.

In summary, while both arthrotomy and arthrocentesis involve accessing a joint, they serve different purposes, and the statement in the question is incorrect.
