Arthrocentesis

Arthroscopy (A) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure where a small incision is made and a specialized camera is used to view the inside of a joint. This is not the same as using two needles to flush out the joint.

Arthroplasty (C) is a type of joint replacement surgery and does not involve using needles to flush out a joint.

Osteotomy (D) is a surgical procedure where a bone is cut and reshaped, and it does not involve the use of needles to flush out a joint.

Therefore, of the given options, the most appropriate answer is B Arthrocentesis, which is a procedure where fluid is aspirated or injected into a joint using two needles. This is commonly used to diagnose and treat joint conditions such as arthritis or infection.
