Abstract

Arthroscopy may be appropriately indicated for primary synovial disorders and sepsis in the hip. It is most commonly performed for synovial chondromatosis and pigmented villonodular synovitis. Synovectomy may also be performed in conjunction with crystalline deposition disorders. Rarely is synovectomy performed for inflammatory arthritides, such as rheumatoid disease, mostly because of the efficacy of pharmacological management. Thorough synovectomy requires arthroscopy of the central and peripheral compartments. This chapter details the technique of synovectomy and its role for primary synovial disorders and sepsis including illustrative examples and results.
