<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Synovitis of the knee can be very difficult to treat especially when the diagnosis remains elusive. Synovitis occurs because of various causes. We assess the patients presenting to our hospital with synovitis of the knee, who underwent arthroscopic synovial biopsy and partial arthroscopic synovectomy and did a review of literature.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> This retrospective study included 25 patients with chronic synovitis of the knee presenting to our institution between July 2012 to January 2016. Inclusion criteria were patients presenting with persistent swelling of the knee; not responding to conservative measures. We excluded patients who had recurrent synovitis, patients who had septic arthritis. All patients underwent Arthroscopic synovial Biopsy and partial synovectomy. Preoperative and postoperative VAS score was calculated.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> In n=6 patients the histopathological diagnosis was Tuberculosis, which improved with Anti tuberculous drug treatment. In n=1 patient the diagnosis was lipoma arborescens, in n=1 patient the diagnosis was plant thorn synovitis, in n=3 patient the diagnosis was Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis; all 5 patients improved with synovectomy and NSAIDS. In n=14 patients the biopsy report came as chronic non-specific synovitis, 8 of these patients did well with arthroscopic synovectomy while the other 6 had a recurrence. The average VAS score improved from 8.8- pre surgery to 4.7 post surgery.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Arthroscopic synovial biopsy and synovectomy gives good results in patients with chronic synovitis of the knee. It may be recommended as a treatment for chronic synovitis of the knee, which is not responding to conservative measures of treatment.</p>

Background: Physical fitness is an important component in the development of youth alpine ski racers. To write systematically planned and age-appropriate fitness programs athletes need to be physically tested at regular intervals at an early age. Although well-developed hamstring muscle strength is important for alpine ski racing performance and the prevention of serious knee injuries, it has not been well investigated, especially in youth athletes. Accordingly, the first aim of the present study was to assess the test-retest reliability of the maximum bilateral eccentric (MBEHS) and unilateral isometric (MUIHS) hamstring tests. The second aim of the present study was to assess whether the results of these two methods correlate and if it is possible to commit to one of the two methods to provide an economic test procedure. Methods: The first study included 26 (14 females/12 males) youth alpine ski racers aged between 12 and 13 years. All athletes performed two MBEHS and two MUIHS tests, 7 days apart. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC 3,1) and their 95% confidence intervals based on a consistency two-way mixed model were used to estimate the reliability of the two different test modalities. The second study included 61 (27 females/34 males) youth alpine ski racers aged between 10 and 13 years. All athletes performed one MBEHS and one MUIHS test. Bland-Altman plots and the 95% limits of agreement as well as correlations by Pearson (r) between the different test modalities were assessed. Results: In study 1 “poor” to “moderate” (MBEHS right leg 0.79 (0.58–0.90); left leg 0.83 (0.66–0.92); MUIHS right leg 0.78 (0.56–0.89); left leg 0.66 (0.37–0.83)) ICC values and 95% confident intervals were obtained. Standard error of measurement (SEM) between trails was between 18.3 and 25.1 N. Smallest detectable difference (SDD) was between 50.8 and 69.5 N. In study 2 mean differences between MBEHS and MUIHS was around 20 N with higher values for MBEHS. Significant moderate-to-strong correlations were found between the test modalities (r = 0.74–0.84, p <0.001). Conclusions: The MBEHS test has higher ICC values, lower CV values, higher SEM values and lower SDD values than the MUIHS test. All this suggests that the MBEHS test is more suitable than the MUIHS test to determine the maximum hamstring force in young alpine ski racers.
