title: [Arthroscopic synovectomy of the shoulder and elbow joint].
abstract: We reviewed experiences and results of six shoulder and nine elbow joint synovectomies, performed in a time period between 1989 and 1990 by arthroscopic technique. The operation technique is pretentious an requires some expenditure. The postoperative course distinguishes itself by little pain and early increase of range of motion.
