How Arthroscopic Synovectomy is performed
This procedure is often performed arthroscopically, and partial or total synovectomy can be selected according to the lesion, and samples can be taken for pathology. Usually, an arthroscope and instruments such as shavers/radiofrequency are inserted through small incisions to clean the hyperplastic synovium, irrigate the joint, stop bleeding, and suture the entry points under direct vision or image guidance. Postoperative monitoring includes bleeding, swelling, and joint movement. The goal is to reduce pain and effusion and provide conditions for diagnosis and rehabilitation. The above is general health information and not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
