| Abstract | [Introduction]So-called persistent synovial effusion of the knee due to rheumatoid arthritis, chronic synovitis, etc. is generally treated by intra-articular injection of adrenal cortical hormone, synovectomy, etc. There are, however, occasional cases which do not respond to any ambitious course of treatment by such methods. In 1963, Makin et al. successfully treated persistent synovial effusion of the knee by intra-articular injection of a colloidal suspension of 198Au(particle size approximately 60μ). The authors have been interested in this method of treatment for several years, but had discontinued studies temporarily due to the difficulty in obtaining large colloidal 198Au particles of 60μ average size. Recently, through the efforts of Daiichi Radioisotope Co. Ltd., it was possible to import some of this material and to do studies on 15 knee joints of 14 Patients with persistent synovial effusion of the knee Several findings of interest were obtained and are reported. |
