HISTOLOGICAL SYNOVIAL CHANGES IN LOWER EXTREMITIES AFTER AMPUTATION

We analysed samples of synovial tissue obtained from joints of lower extremities after amputation because of gangrene secondary to vascular disease. We tried to assess the degree of pathomorphological changes. The samples consisted of synovial tissue from 40 patients after amputation of lower extremities. The rnaterial was fixed in 40% formaline, embedded in paraffin blocks and sections were stained with HE and Mallory trichrome methods and examined by light microscope. These samples were divided in five groups according to the degree of proliferation of lining cells, reactive formation of synovial villi, increased vascularisation, and presence of inflammatory cells. We have observed the significant pathomorphological changes of synovial tissues in 20 patients. In our material there were no direct correlation between observed degree of synovial pathomorphological changes and the degree of vascular diseases and gangrene in the patients we analyzed.
