APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Synovectomy refers to the destruction or surgical removal of the membrane (synovium) that lines a joint. As the largest articulation and the one most frequently affected by chronic inflammation, the knee is the joint most often selected for synovectomy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Synovectomy treats inflammatory arthritis such as RA, psoriatic arthritis, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis. (It’s also used to treat joint damage resulting from the blood clotting disorder hemophilia.) You may need this surgery if other treatments don’t help your pain and other arthritis symptoms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Risks of synovectomy include the risks of surgery and using anesthesia and a slight risk of infection and bleeding inside the joint. You may also lose some range of motion of the joint. Or the inflammation in the joint may come back.
