title: [Orthopedic surgery in patients with rheumatoid arthritis].
abstract: Studying their subject the authors have been found that among the orthopedic surgical interventions the most frequently applied procedure were the alloarthroplasty and the synovectomy. Half of the operations are performed on the hand and the knee. Because of the polyarticular and multilocular characteristic of the disease very often more than one operations are necessary in case of rheumatoid patients. In case of sequence operations attention is called constant communication with rheumatologist and individual assessment of each case.
