The aim of total knee arthroplasty is to achieve best patient functional outcomes, improve patient pain score and satisfaction. Synovial proliferation is a common finding in arthritic knees. Surgeons can't decide if synovectomy is a crucial step in the operation. Studies didn't prove the clear benefits of synovectomy. We are aiming to perform a randomized clinical trial trying to reach the best evidence in that matter.
