WHAT IS SYNOVITIS

Synovitis is inflammation of the tissues that line a joint. It is commonly associated with diseases such as arthritis or gout but may also result from overuse or trauma. The most common symptoms of synovitis may include swelling, redness, warmth, and pain with joint motion. An evaluation by our team of foot and ankle surgeons will help confirm the diagnosis and would help rule out other possible concerns, such as fractures or infections. Our foot surgeon may sample fluid from the joint to analyze for inflammatory cells or order x-rays or other advanced imaging tests to better evaluate the affected joint.

The treatment for synovitis includes ice, rest, immobilization, and oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen. It might also include steroid injections into the joint. Surgery may be indicated in longstanding cases. Metroplex Foot and Ankle Center can be reached at 817-595-1310 to learn more.
