Synovectomy as treatment for purulent joint infection. 1984

H Tscherne, and G Giebel, and G Muhr, and C Howell

Conventional treatment of pyogenic knee joint infections leads to unsatisfactory results. Through early synovectomy, before cartilage damage and osteoarthritis appear, the infected focus can be "excised." Functional after-treatment avoids cartilage atrophy, wound adhesions, and muscle weakness. The excellent results after 26 knee joint infections confirm this.
