A member asked:
What is wrong with my knee if the doctor says i need a synovectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Synovium : Synovium is a soft tissue structure, it is part of the anatomy of the knee. A synovectomy means the doctor plans on removing this lining or a piece of it likely because it is no longer functioing properly, and it is damaged.
