Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can cause persistent joint inflammation.
  • Synovectomy is a surgical option for managing RA joint symptoms.

Observation:

  • Eighty-six knee synovectomies were performed on 64 RA patients over seven years.
  • Patients included stages I (8), II (26), III (24), and IV (8) of RA.

Findings:

  • Synovectomy significantly reduced pain and swelling in RA patients.
  • Satisfactory results were observed in 72.9% of all patients, with 87.2% in early RA stages (I and II).

Implications:

  • Synovectomy is a viable treatment for RA patients with persistent joint swelling unresponsive to medication.
  • Careful patient selection and timing are essential for maximizing the benefits of synovectomy in RA management.
