  • Title: [Early synovectomy in the treatment of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis].
    Author: Lovász G, Bellyei A.
    Journal: Magy Traumatol Orthop Helyreallito Seb; 1992; 35(1):1-6. PubMed ID: 1348552.
    Abstract:
    Authors report on the results of 15 synovectomies of the knee for iligoarticular juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. The operation was performed in every case in the early stage before the development of the radiological destruction. Excellent and good results were obtained in 11 cases; in 4 cases the operation was unsuccessful. It is stated that there is good chance to prevent destruction of the knee with juvenile rheumatic arthritis with an early synocvectomy. The operation is suggested after 6 years of age. The key of the good result is the early intensive mobilization of the joint.
