Popis: | Arthroscopic synovectomy can be useful for management of inflammatory conditions, but total synovectomy is difficult using current techniques. Traditional open synovectomy requires dislocation of the femoral head from the acctabulum, with the inherent risk of avascular necrosis and prolonged rehabilitation period. The purpose of this report of two cases is to describe the indication of arthroscopic surgery for the treatment of the synovial chondromatosis of the hip joint. |
