AB  - This  procedure  attempts  to  eliminate  inflammation  at  a  joint  by  surgically  removing  as  much  of  the  synovium  as  possible.  The  procedure  has  been  performed  most  commonly  in  patients  with  rheumatoid  arthritis  who,  despite  medical  therapy,  have  persistent  pannus  of  inflamed  synovium  (usually  around  a  wrist  or  a  knee).  Patients  with  degenerative  diseases  do  not  have  marked  synovial  inflammation  and  are  not  candidates  for  this  procedure.
