Synovectomy of the ankle joint

Abstract: Between 1970 and 1979, 123 synovectomies of the ankle joint were performed on 99 patients. Sixty two of these patients (81 ankles) were followed up for an average period of four years. Using Steinbrocker's classification 10 ankles had Stage I disease, 34 had Stage II, 33 had Stage III and 4 had Stage IV. In more than 80% of the joints pain and swelling significantly decreased after operation, with improvement in the range of motion and of the gait pattern. However the procedure did not change the walking dista… Show more

“…1 Mohing in 1989 reported on the outcomes of open synovectomy for rheumatoid ankles and found that it is beneficial in more than 80%. 76 Anders et al also reported on open ankle synovectomy, by saying of the 81.5% assessed, they found the results of the synovectomy as good or very good. 77 Although there was a significant gain in the Kofoed ankle score because of pain reduction and gain of mobility, a decline of function was detected.…”

“…In der Langzeitstudie von Akagi et al [ [1] zeigen ebenfalls, dass im 15-jährigen Verlauf kein Patient über starke, den Alltag beeinträchtigende Schmerzen klagte. Studien mit kürzeren Nachuntersuchungszeiträumen von 2,5-4 Jahren zeigen, dass eine Schmerzreduktion um bis zu 80% erreicht werden kann [8,13,21]. Tillmann [24] erreicht ebenso wie Gschwend [7] bei etwa 75% der Synovektomien am OSG Schmerzfreiheit und in allen übrigen Fäl-len Schmerzlinderung.…”

“…Akagi et al [1] fanden nach 15 Jahren 5 von 20 OSG mit einem Bewegungsumfang von maximal 10° für die Flexion/Extension hochgradig limitiert. Im Gegensatz dazu werden in kurz-und mittelfristigen Studien positive Effekte der Synovektomie auf die Mobilität gefunden [8,13,21].…”
