Synovectomy of the metatarsophalangeal joints in rheumatoid arthritis. 1987

P Raunio, and H Laine
Rheumatism Foundation Hospital, Orthopedic Dept, Heinola, Finland.

Synovectomy of II-V mtp-joints was performed on 33 feet in 28 patients. The average follow-up time was 15 months. The results were evaluated with respect to pain, radiographic changes, and the patients' own estimate. Radiographic appearances were compared with the unoperated joints in the other foot. The radiographic changes were also correlated with changes in the general activity of the disease.
