Radiosynoviorthesis (RSO) is a minimally invasive therapeutic procedure for managing joint inflammation, particularly synovitis associated with osteoarthritis. Radiosynoviorthesis involves the intra-articular injection of radioactive isotopes to specifically treat the inflamed synovial membrane.
In medicine, a joint injection (intra-articular injection) is a procedure used in the treatment of inflammatory joint conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, gout, tendinitis, bursitis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, [2] and occasionally osteoarthritis.
The surgical procedure can be performed arthroscopically [1] or by opening the joint to remove the synovial tissue surrounding the joint that has become inflamed and swollen.

The surgery can be performed through an open or arthroscopic procedure. A regimen of physical therapy following surgery is prescribed and most patients experience full recovery within 8 to 10 weeks post-surgery. [1] The procedure was created by, and named for, orthopedic surgeon Eugene Bishop Mumford in 1941. [2] [3]
