title: Procedure for rehabilitation of the knee following synovectomy in patients with rheumatoid arthritis at the Poznań Rheumatological Center in Srema.
abstract: At the Poznań Rheumatology Center in Srema synovectomy of the knee joint is one of the treatment methods applied in cases where "rheumatoid granules" occur in the knee, or in recurrent exudative infections. One of the essential elements of therapy is to begin post-operative rehabilitation with active exercises as soon as 48 hours after surgery. This method is used to eliminate adhesions in the operating field and achieve a full range of movement in the joint without the need to apply painful and injurious redressing of the joint. The procedure used with the patient after surgery and the choice of kinesitherapeutic methods is the result of many years of experience. Post-operative procedures are concluded within 2-3 weeks when the range of movement achieved in the joint is greater than or equal to pre-operative.
