title: [Local and systemic parameters in the synovial milieu].
abstract: Our own results as well as recent data from the literature confirm the already long known fact, that synovial fluid analysis allows only in very few diseases as for example a crystal synovitis a definite diagnosis in the individual case. In the majority of the patients this technique permits only to differentiate between inflammatory and non-inflammatory joint disease as well as an estimation of the local inflammatory activity of joint. The simultaneous histologic examination of synovial membrane according to our experience seems to bring no major additional information which exceeds the information given by each technique alone.
