title: Efficacy of radiosynoviorthesis and its impact on chosen inflammatory markers.
abstract: Radiosynoviorthesis is used for the local treatment of recurrent joint effusions and leads to synovium necrosis after radionuclide administration. This procedure provides opportunity to full recovery of normal synovium function after local corticosteroids and systemic modifying drugs failure.
