Abstract:
:Synovectomy of 20 wrist joints in 15 patients with juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA) was performed and results were evaluated 3 (0.5-5) years after surgery. The surgical procedure consisted of synovectomy of the radiocarpal joint, around the ulnar head and in all intercarpal joints. Resection of the ulnar head was not performed. Results at follow-up showed that four wrist joints had been re-operated by arthrodesis because of persistent pain. In one case a spontaneous ankylosis had developed. These cases were not included in the re-examination. Of the remaining 15 cases, 12 were improved and 7 of these were totally pain-free. At follow-up, clinical examination revealed a mean improved grip strength (0.2 kp/cm2) and a mean decreased range of motion (10 degrees of flexion and extension, 16 degrees of pronation, supination unchanged). All wrist joints showed some radiographic changes preoperatively and at follow-up about half showed some further deterioration. This study indicates that the results of wrist synovectomy in patients with juvenile chronic arthritis do not differ significantly from results of wrist synovectomy in adult arthritic patients.
