Detailed explanation-1: -Inflammation of joint tissue called synovium is called synovitis. This condition may develop as the result of repetitive joint movement, an injury, infection, or arthritis. Synovitis may cause joint pain, tenderness, swelling, stiffness, and other symptoms. Another term for synovium is synovial membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is synovitis? Synovitis (or synovial inflammation) is when the synovium of a joint becomes inflamed (swollen). The synovium, which is also sometimes called the stratum synoviale or synovial stratum, is connective tissue that lines the inside of the joint capsule.

Detailed explanation-3: -The primary cause of inflammation of the synovium is related to an overactive immune system. In these situations, your immune system attacks your healthy synovium. This causes excessive growth of the synovium. The membrane becomes inflamed and produces additional synovial fluid.

Detailed explanation-4: -Rheumatologic diseases in particular such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus can mistakenly attack the synovium leading to inflammation.
