Arthroscopic synovectomy for rheumatoid arthritis was carried out on a total of 96 knees. The period of follow-up observation varied from 2 to 4 years. The technique was without major complication. There were statistically significant decreases in pain and synovitis over the 4-year follow-up time. The range of movement was maintained. Arthroscopic synovectomy was at least a valuable palliative procedure for uncontrolled synovitis of the knee.
对总共96个膝关节进行了类风湿性关节炎的关节镜下滑膜切除术。随访观察期为2至4年。该技术无重大并发症。在4年的随访期内,疼痛和滑膜炎有统计学意义的减轻。活动范围得以维持。关节镜下滑膜切除术对于膝关节无法控制的滑膜炎至少是一种有价值的姑息性手术。
