Description: Arthroscopic synovectomy is still widely practised although there is a lack of rigorous evidence by controlled trials. However, recent studies including a sizeable case series lend further support to its efficacy at a chemical level (immunohistological analyses) and at a functional level (Lysholm scores and Insall scores).
