Abstract
Radiosynoviorthesis (RSO) is an important interventional tool, which has proven (reference) effective for the local treatment of chronic inflammatory joint diseases. The term radiosynoviorthesis was created by Delbarre (Delbarre et al. 1968), meaning the restoration (orthesis) of the synovium, with the use of radionuclides. Through local application of radioactive agents, an attempt is made to influence the synovial process favourably as an alternative to surgical synovectomy.
