Summary

A new surgical procedure, semiarthros-copic synovectomy of the hip is described. The operation enables a radical synovectomy to be performed without the risk of necrosis of the femoral head from temporary luxation. The early results have been encouraging and the method appears to offer a low-risk alternative to conventional radical synovectomy.

Résumé

Présentation d'une nouvelle technique chirurgicale, la synovectomie semi-arthroscopique de la hanche. Cette opération permet de réaliser une synovectomie totale sans encourir le risque de nécrose de la tête fémorale du fait d'une luxation temporaire de la hanche. Les premiers résultats sont encourageants et cette méthode semble apporter une alternative moins dangereuse à la synovectomie totale réalisée selon la technique habituelle.
