[Clinical value of histomorphologic studies of joint capsules].
The clinical significance of the histomorphological evaluation of synovial tissue from 389 patients with joint diseases was studied. From these data we conclude: (1) the histomorphological diagnosis in joint diseases is rarely of decisive value (6.2%); (2) in 23.1% of cases the histomorphological diagnosis is judged to be of clinical assistance; (3) the histomorphological grading of the inflammatory reaction in the joint under study corresponds in approximately two out of three cases to the clinical judgement.
