Treatment efficacy was evaluated by comparing pre- and post-operative Lysholm knee scores (LKS), night pain, resting pain, activity pain and effusions using visual analogue scales (VAS). Patient satisfaction was assessed using the visual analogue patient satisfaction scale (VAPSS).<b><i> Results:<\/i><\/b> The mean age of the study participants was 41.5 \u00b1 5.2 years (range 14-76), and the mean follow-up period was 33.6 \u00b1 3.2 months (range 17-78). Before treatment, the mean LKS was 41.4 \u00b1 3.4 in group 1, 39.6 \u00b1 3.3 in group 2 and 37.1 \u00b1 4.6 in group 3. After treatment, the corresponding mean LKS were 77.7 \u00b1 2.1, 81.6 \u00b1 2.8 and 91.3 \u00b1 2.7 in groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively; the increase was statistically significant (p < 0.05). The VAS scores before and after treatment decreased significantly (p < 0.05). The mean VAPSS score, a measure of patient satisfaction, was 5.1 \u00b1 1.7, 5.8 \u00b1 1.5 and 7.4 \u00b1 1.8 in groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively, and the difference between groups 1 and 2 was not statistically significant, while that between group 3 and the other two groups was significant (p < 0.05). <b><i>Conclusion:<\/i><\/b> This study showed that the three methods used in individuals with chronic non-specific recurrent synovitis were effective; however, arthroscopic synovectomy in combination with radioactive synovectomy was more effective than the other methods and superior in terms of patient satisfaction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000365635","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,9]],"date-time":"2014-09-09T07:51:33Z","timestamp":1410249093000},"page":"551-555","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Comparison of Arthroscopic, Radioactive and Combined Synovectomy in the Treatment of Chronic Non-Specific Knee Synovitis"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Ibrahim","family":"Karaman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ahmet","family":"Guney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fatih","family":"Dogar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ibrahim Halil","family":"Kafadar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Okkes","family":"Bilal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mithat","family":"Oner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mustafa","family":"Kula","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,8,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000351566"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12149-008-0167-7"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00296-006-0283-4"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MNM.0b013e32832b52b9"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/rheumatology\/41.10.1113"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2516.2005.01175.x"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006231-200102000-00017"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/BPB.0b013e32809256f2"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749-8063(00)90050-1"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00264-001-0309-1"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00266717"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00296-012-2540-z"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006231-200207000-00013"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00402-013-1853-z"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/PL00003490"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00296-003-0295-2"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2010.06.003"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.G.00441"},{"key":"ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2516.2009.02167.x"}],"container-title":["Medical Principles and Practice"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/365635","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/365635","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/365635","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T18:00:56Z","timestamp":1745431256000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000365635"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014]]},"references-count":19,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,1]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,4]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000365635","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1011-7571","1423-0151"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"1011-7571"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1423-0151"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014]]}}}
