Specialty Definition: Synovium

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The synovium is a thin, weak layer which lines the joint space. It controls the environment within the joint.

It can become irritated and thickened in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. When this happens, the synovium can become more of a problem for the joint, and sometimes must be removed.
