[Extended elbow synovectomy in primary chronic polyarthritis. Long-term results]. 1979

N Böhler, and R Czurda, and W Schwägerl, and M Endler

In 50--70% of the rheumatoid patients arthritis of the elbow joint can be found. Early results after surgical treatment are very successful. The late results after 29 synovectomies, partly with resection of the head of the radius and neurolysis of the ulnar nerve, are presented. The follow-up time averages 6 years. We found a good relief of pain and a moderate, but persisting gain of movement. The importance of an early operation and a consequent physical therapy is pointed out.
