Abstract
- Radiosynoviorthesis (RSO) is a proven important instrument for local treatment of chronic inflammatory joint diseases in the context of medical and orthopaedic efforts. The term radiosynoviorthesis was created by Delbarre et al. 1968, meaning the restoration (orthesis) of the synovium by means of radionuclides. By local administration of radioactive agents an attempt is made to influence the synovial process favourably as an alternative to surgical synovectomy. In the Anglo-American literature the term"radiosynovectomy" or"radiation synovectomy" came into use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
