RADIOSYNOVIORTHESIS IN THERAPY FOR INFLAMMATORY JOINT DISORDERS [PDF]
Radiosynoviorthesis (RSO), also known as radiosynovectomy, is an approved method of treatment for inflammatory joint disorders that is commonly used both in the industrialized American and European countries as well as in the developing Asian and African

The EANM guideline for radiosynoviorthesis. [PDF]
AbstractPurposeRadiosynoviorthesis (RSO) using the intraarticular application of beta-particle emitting radiocolloids has for decades been used for the local treatment of inflammatory joint diseases. The injected radiopharmaceuticals are phagocytized by the superficial macrophages of the synovial membrane, resulting in sclerosis and fibrosis of the ...

[Radiosynoviorthesis of the thumb's carpometacarpal joint]. [PDF]
Radiosynoviorthesis (RSO) is an established therapeutic method for the local treatment of pain in aseptic joint inflammation (e.g. arthritis, activated osteoarthritis, synovitis). RSO can be used for the treatment of synovial membrane inflammation of the finger joints such as the thumb's carpometacarpal joint.

Dosimetry in Radiosynoviorthesis [PDF]
Although there are several radionuclides suitable for radiosynoviorthesis (RSO), not all of them can irradiate deeper synovium. Yttrium-90 (Y) is the beta radionuclide with more penetration range; therefore, it is predominantly used to treat knees. The aim of this paper is to highlight several dosimetry concepts to compare Y and Sm, also discussing the

Radiosynoviorthesis for arthritis
The use of beta-(beta) emitting radionuclides for radiosynoviorthesis (RSO) has been a well established therapy for inflammed joints for more than 40 years. Radionuclides are often applied to patients with rheumatoid arthritis as local therapy. The choice of the radionuclide is empirical. The evaluation of the therapeutic success is mainly based on the

Arthroscopic synovectomy and radiosynoviorthesis: a treatment option for recurrent arthritis symptoms in patients with pachydermoperiostosis [PDF]
Pachydermoperiostosis as the primary form of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy is a rare hereditary disorder with a number of characteristic findings, e.g. periosteal hypertrophy, digital clubbing and pachydermia.

Objectives : Hypertrophic and exudative synovitis of the knee is one of the earliest symptoms in rheumatic diseases. In the case of pharmacotherapy failure, other methods which directly remove the inflamed synovial membrane are used – synovectomies ...

Radiosynoviorthesis in the Treatment of Disabling Arthritis [PDF]
Chronic synovial inflammation leads to pannus formation and destruction of the articular cartilage. Synovitis results in proliferation of articular mucosa, destroys cartilage, penetrates bone, tears ligaments and tendons and results in joint destruction. Recurring hemarthrosis in hemophilia responds poorly to available therapy. Synovectomy is indicated

Radiosynoviorthesis in children with haemophilia
SummaryRecurrent bleeding into joints represents the clinical hallmark of haemophilia and, if not adequately treated, it may cause chronic synovitis and degenerative arthropathy. The first treatment option of recurrent haemarthroses and/or chronic synovitis is represented by synoviorthesis, both chemical and radioisotopic, with a success rate of ...
