Failed Radiation Synovectomy in Diseased Knee Joint with Missed Tuberculous Synovitis
The authors in this case report highlight the poor outcome of radiation synovectomy (RSV) for repeated knee joint effusion in a patient with histopathologically proven nonspecific arthritis. There was partial response initially following RSV but later follow-up showed recurrence in joint effusion with limited and painful mobility of the knee joint. Subsequent surgical synovectomy and histopatho...
متن کاملArthroscopic synovectomy in rheumatoid and psoriatic knee joint synovitis: long-term outcome.
A long-term prospective study was performed to evaluate the safety and long-term outcome of surgical arthroscopy (AS) for persistent rheumatoid (RA) and psoriatic (PsA) knee joint synovitis (KJS). Local signs of joint inflammation (tenderness, swelling, "ballottement') and range of motion (ROM) were scored and the sum, taken as a global outcome measure, was recorded in 17 RA and 18 PsA knees, b...
متن کاملDouble blind glucocorticoid controlled trial of samarium-153 particulate hydroxyapatite radiation synovectomy for chronic knee synovitis.
BACKGROUND Samarium-153 particulate hydroxyapatite (Sm-153 PHYP) is a relatively new radiation synovectomy agent developed for the treatment of chronic synovitis. Although it has been shown that the levels of unwanted extra-articular radiation are lower after intra-articular injection of Sm-153 PHYP than yttrium-90 colloid, its clinical efficacy has not been rigorously studied. OBJECTIVES To ...
متن کاملTuberculous synovitis of the elbow joint.
Tuberculous synovitis in the elbow joint is extremely rare in developed countries. We describe a 68-year-old man who had had a gradually enlarging mass over the volar side of the left proximal forearm near the elbow joint for 4 months. Plain roentgenograms of the diseased elbow showed early osteoarthritic change. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed diffuse synovitis with a large 8 x 8 cm extra-...
متن کامل[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...
