Changes in synovial fluid and clinical variables after arthroscopic partial synovectomy of the middle carpal joint were studied in 12 normal horses. A 7 mm motorized synovial resector was inserted into each middle carpal joint; one middle carpal joint of each horse was randomly selected to have arthroscopic synovectomy (treated) and the opposite joint was lavaged (control). Lameness examinations and synovial fluid analyses were performed before operation and at 8, 14, 21, and 28 days after operation. Lameness variables did not differ between treated and control legs. Middle carpal and carpometacarpal joint circumference measurements were increased for 4 weeks. Synovial fluid specific gravity, pH, total protein, albumin concentration, and alpha-1-, beta- and gamma-globulin concentrations, at 8 and 14 days were significantly higher than before operation in both treated and control middle carpal joints. No significant differences were found between treated and control middle carpal joints at any time for color, clarity, pH, mucin clot formation, total protein, albumin, and globulin fractions. Arthroscopic partial synovectomy and lavage did not cause significant lameness and resulted in a synovitis indistinguishable from synovitis related to arthroscopic lavage alone.
