Abstract
Immune, inflammatory and degenerative arthritides, including rheumatoid arthritis, hemophiliac arthropathy and osteoarthritis, can be treated using a systemic or intra-articular radiosynovectomy technique in which the radionuclide is high specific activity tin-117m. Tin-117m can either be bound to a colloid typically used in an intra-articular radiosynovectomy (RSV), or can be tin-117m annexin for RSV and systemic administration.
