Abstract

When systemical and local conservative treatment fails in the case of rheumatoid affection of the ankle joint, synovectomy should be the first consideration and option. The functional results of a timely and technically correct synovectomy cannot be equalized by any reconstructive surgery, neither by arthrodesis nor by endoprosthetic replacement. Even late synovectomies (LED-grade 2–3) may render acceptable results, preserving any possibility of retreat in case of failure: this is important especially for young patients (33).
