RESUMO
Background: In patients with hemophilia, radionuclide synoviorthesis, or the intra-articular injection of a radionuclide to decrease the synovial hypertrophy tissue, aims to decrease or avoid hemarthrosis. Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of radionuclide synoviorthesis in hemophilia. Material and Methods: Observational retrospective study of the evolution of 107 male patients aged 3 to 54 years who were subjected to radionuclide synoviorthesis between 2007 and 2015. Results: Of 164 treated joints, in 65% treatment was successful, (defined as zero to two hemarthroses and absence of synovitis during the follow up period), in 17% it was partially successful (defined as two or less hemarthroses, but persistence of the synovitis) and failed in 18% of the procedures. No important complications were recorded. Conclusions: Radionuclide synoviorthesis has an overall 82% success rate, is minimally invasive, can be used at any age and is inexpensive We recommend its implementation in Chilean hemophilia treatment centers.

Resumen: La sinovitis vellonodular pigmentada (SVP) es una neoplasia benigna con proliferación sinovial y depósito de hemosiderina, se caracteriza por comprometer grandes articulaciones, en especial la rodilla. En la actualidad se describen dos variantes clínicas, la forma difusa (SVPD) y la localizada (SVPL). La sinovectomía artroscópica y sinovectomía por radiación conforman el tratamiento que ha demostrado mejores resultados funcionales. La resonancia magnética nuclear es un método adecuado para establecer el diagnóstico de la SVPL.
Abstract: The pigmented vellonodular sinovitis (PVNS) is benign neoplasm with synovial proliferation and hemosiderin deposit, characterized by large compromising joints, especially the knee. At present, two variants of clinics, the diffuse form (PVNSD) and the localized (PVNSL) are described. Arthroscopic synovectomy and radiosynoviorthesis (RSO) is the treatment that has shown the best functional results. Nuclear magnetic resonance is an appropriate method for conducting the diagnosis of PVNSL.
