Radioactivity studies on 2 synovial specimens after radiation synovectomy with yttrium-90 silicate.
Synovial membranes surgically removed from the knees of 2 patients who had received radioactive yttrium-90 silicate have been examined. Autoradiographs showed that in both cases the activity was unevenly distributed over the synovium. One of the specimens, removed 7 weeks after administration of the isotope, was found to contain a slight degree of radioactivity, attributable in part to a long-l...
متن کاملLong term follow up of radiosynovectomy with yttrium-90 silicate in haemophilic haemarthrosis.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the long term effect of radiation synovectomy with yttrium-90 silicate in haemophiliac patients with recurrent haemarthrosis. METHODS The bleeding frequency and the mobility of the joint were recorded in 16 joints of 14 patients 1 year before radiosynovectomy and during follow up, which ranged from 3 to 6 years.

متن کاملEfficacy and safety of radiation synovectomy with Yttrium-90: a retrospective long-term analysis of 164 applications in 82 patients.
In this long term retrospective study of radiation synovectomy with Yttrium-90 (Y90), we evaluated the results of 164 applications in 82 patients with RA, OA with synovitis, ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis. Radiation synovectomy with Y90 has an overall success rate of approximately 50% and is therefore an effective alternative to surgical synovectomy in chronic synovitis which fa...
متن کاملPersistent cutaneous ulcers after Yttrium-90 synovectomy, an unusual complication: two case reports and a review of the literature.
Development of persistent deep cutaneous ulceration is a rare and serious complication of radiosynovectomy, an extended procedure used in the treatment of chronic synovitis. Cutaneous radiation necrosis is a rare complication of synovectomy, probably as a result of radiocolloid para-articular injection. This rare phenomenon should be suspected when an ulcer adjacent to an articulation appears s...
متن کاملYttrium-90 radiation synovectomy in knee osteoarthritis: a prospective assessment at 6 and 12 months.
OBJECTIVE To assess the outcome of yttrium-90 radiation synovectomy at 6 and 12 months in patients with knee osteoarthritis unresponsive to systematic or local medical treatment. METHODS Consecutive patients with osteoarthritic knee pain resistant to conventional therapy and submitted to intraarticular yttrium-90 treatment because of synovial inflammation, as demonstrated by early-phase bone ...
