Synovectomy of the Knee

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1971
Summary In properly selected patients synovectomy is highly effective in relieving pain, preserving function, and eliminating effusion. The ideal paient is one with a thick boggy synovium and a chronic effusion (in one or both knees) that is refractory to medical management of four to six months.

Radiation synovectomy revisited

European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, 1993
Radiation synovectomy is a potential weapon in the therapeutic armamentarium of nuclear medicine. It is an attractive alternative to surgical or chemical synovectomy for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. In this article the clinical results obtained with radiation synovectomy from the 1950s through 1992 are summarized and reviewed.

Semiarthroscopic synovectomy of the hip

International Orthopaedics, 1988
A new surgical procedure, semiarthroscopic synovectomy of the hip is described. The operation enables a radical synovectomy to be performed without the risk of necrosis of the femoral head from temporary luxation. The early results have been encouraging and the method appears to offer a low-risk alternative to conventional radical synovectomy.
