Synovitis
Synovitis is inflammation of the joint lining. The synovium creates the fluid in the joint that helps to lubricate it. The synovium typically becomes inflamed “-itis” because of the damage in the joint or because of an underlying rheumatological problem. At the time of arthroscopy, this synovium may be removed with a shaver and/or with electrocautery.
