Arthrocentesis is the surgical puncture of a joint space to remove synovial fluid.Basically put a needle in the joint, and then aspirate the fluid.

What does No fluid in spinal cord during lumbar puncture indicate?

I doubt there would be NO fluid in the spinal cord, but very often physicians cannot tap the spinal cord to obtain fluid, sometimes, they just cannot get in. In cases like this, they will often send the person to radiology for a CT assisted lumbar puncture There is a condition called dry tap, that is when no fluid drained out while lumbar puncture is performed. Fluid thickening due to inflammatory process (called arachnoiditis) may be one of its causes (because it thickens, it cannot pass the syringe)
