Abstrakt: In properly selected patients synovectomy is highly effective in relieving pain, preserving function, and eliminating effusion. The ideal paient is one with a thick boggy synovium and a chronic effusion (in one or both knees) that is refractory to medical management of four to six months. We prefer a medial parapatellar approach, with removal of at least 85 per cent of the synovium.
