[Evaluation of the results of synovectomy of the knee joint performed in the early period of the rheumatoid process].
The authors analyzed the results of 77 early knee synovectomies in 65 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, performed in 1976-1987. Special attention was paid to pain, exudate, range of motion, flexion contracture, instability, ability to walk, and radiological changes in the Larsen's scale. The patient's subjective evaluation and the surgeon's intraoperative evaluation were also taken into account. The results were excellent --32.5 per cent, good 46.8 per cent, fair 6.5 per cent, and poor 14.2 per cent.
