[Synovectomy of the knee joint in rheumatoid arthritis].
Excision of the diseased synovial membrane from the knee in rheumatoid arthritis was first established as a valuable procedure by Swett in 1923. Eleven of the twelve knees which he described showed a good result when reviewed up to two years later, and he stressed the importance of limiting the operation to patients with no joint destruction. Boon-Itt (1930) reported improvement in two-thirds o...

The wrist is the most commonly involved region of the upper extremity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Because the wrist joint becomes involved early during the disease course and its involvement rapidly progresses, and because the disabilities associated with progressive RA are significant, early and adequate treatment must be introduced to prevent disease progression.

Synovectomy of the knee results in a satisfactory degree of pain relief in rheumatoid arthritis. 52 synovectomies were performed in 40 patients. The mean length of follow-up was 7.8 years. We found satisfactory results in 88.4% of the cases and unsatisfactory results in 11.6%. We could see that this procedure is indicated in those cases that have a well preserved articular architecture, while i...

We analysed the results of arthroscopic synovectomy of the wrist in 18 patients (19 wrists) with rheumatoid arthritis who had not responded to conservative treatment. The patients' symptoms were assessed using visual analogue scales for pain and satisfaction. Standard posteroanterior radiographs which were taken pre-operatively and at final follow-up were analysed using a modified Larsen scorin...
متن کاملPathology of the knee joint in rheumatoid arthritis. A contribution to the understanding of synovectomy.
Present concepts of the articular pathology in rheumatoid arthritis suggest that removal of bone and cartilage commences by a direct extension of blood vessels and connective tissue cells from a chronically inflamed synovial membrane. Yet little or nothing is known of the initial events at a morphological level (Ball 1968). Because the articular cartilage is the important tissue in joint functi...
