    Abstract:
    Five hundred and eight cases of early synovectomy of the knee in rheumatoid arthritis are reported from nine clinics in a retrospective multi-center follow-up study. Observation time covers at least ten years in each case. Sixty-five per cent of the cases are reported as being subjectively and objectively good. The mean roentgenological grade, according to Larsen, was 1.7 preoperatively and 2.7 at follow-up.
