Overview

Synovitis is the medical term for inflammation of a synovial membrane, which line those joints which possess cavities, namely synovial joints. The condition is usually painful, particularly when the joint is moved. The joint usually swells due to fluid collection.

Synovitis is present in several forms of arthritis as well as lupus, gout, and other conditions. The long term presence of synovitis can result in degeneration of the joint.
