Article Title:The history of synoviorthesis in haemophilia

Abstract:
The history of synoviorthesis and recent studies have shown that it is a safe procedure and that the results are similar to those seen following open surgical and arthroscopic synovectomy. If the safety of this procedure is definitively proven in long-term studies it will become the procedure of choice for treatment of recurrent haemarthroses and synovitis. That is, until the time when the haematologists and geneticists eliminate the need for orthopaedic intervention in the care of persons with haemophilia.
