A controlled multicenter evaluation of synovectomy in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis followed 59 patients for 3 years. Finger joints and knees were studied. After 1 year synovectomized joints were better than controls in several features. After 3 years these differences had disappeared in the fingers, but swelling remained less in synovectomized knees. Recurrences were as frequent in synovectomized as in control finger joints, but were slightly less frequent in synovectomized than in control knees. Radiologic bony erosions in fingers and knees of both groups progressed equally during the 3 years.
一项关于滑膜切除术治疗类风湿关节炎的对照多中心评估对59例患者进行了3年的随访研究。研究对象为手指关节和膝关节。1年后，接受滑膜切除的关节在几个方面优于对照组。3年后，手指关节的这些差异消失，但滑膜切除的膝关节肿胀程度仍较轻。滑膜切除的手指关节复发频率与对照组相同，但滑膜切除的膝关节复发频率略低于对照组。两组手指和膝关节的放射学骨侵蚀在3年中进展相同。
