Background:

Radiochemical synovectomy is an established treatment for persistent monoarticular synovitis unresponsive to conventional therapies.
It serves as a less invasive alternative to surgical synovectomy.

Discussion:

Controversies regarding safety, agent selection, and administration logistics are addressed.
Recent clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of radiochemical synovectomy are reviewed.

Key Insights:

The procedure demonstrates safety and efficacy in appropriately selected patient populations.
It provides a valuable therapeutic option for refractory synovitis.

Outlook:

Further research may refine agent selection and administration protocols.

Wider adoption could be facilitated by addressing current controversies and demonstrating long-term outcomes.
