Hand synovectomy takes away inflamed joint lining (synovium) from finger or wrist joints, or from about tendons, most commonly in rheumatoid arthritis that medicines have not controlled.

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) says that medicines come first in rheumatoid arthritis, normally disease-modifying drugs managed by a rheumatologist.

Synovectomy may help in the early stages when disease is limited to the joint lining, although it can come back and is required less commonly now that newer medicines are available.

Inflamed tissue about tendons can weaken them, and the AAOS describes tenosynovectomy as a way to prevent tendon ruptures, noting that tendon repair or transfer can work very well in the hand.

Recovery starts with a splint and hand therapy, and people remain under their rheumatology team afterwards.

Flying home: aviation guidance sets no single wait for bone and joint operations, but leg surgery makes clots on long flights more likely, so ask how to prevent them; UK Civil Aviation Authority medical guidance suggests 24 to 48 hours after a plaster cast.

A Gurgaon quote for hand synovectomy is normally made up of these items:

• Tests before the operation: X-rays, other scans and an anaesthetic check.
• Theatre and anaesthetic: charged mainly by operating time.

• Rehabilitation: physiotherapy on the ward and once you leave.
• Area: joints or tendons treated.
• Anaesthesia: general or arm block.
