Rest
Getting adequate rest is important as it helps the affected joint heal properly. It would help to avoid strenuous activities, like contact sports. You should also avoid putting excess weight on the affected hip.
If your synovitis persists for a long period, your doctor may recommend surgery. Surgical procedures that help treat synovitis include:
- An arthroscopic synovectomy involves removing the inflamed part of the synovial membrane, reducing further bleeding and joint destruction.
- A radionuclide synovectomy is performed by injecting a radioactive substance into the joint. The low-level radiation melts away the inflamed synovium.
