<unk>  is indicated in following conditions: * Inflammatory arthritis: rheumatoid arthritis, hemophilia, chondromatosis * Synovial tumors: pigmented villonodular synovitis * Septic arthritis * Joint stiffness<unk>  is to be performed before cartilage damage has occurred. Conditions, where<unk>  can provide some relief, are listed below. Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) PVNS (Pigmented villonodular synovitis): is a joint problem that usually affects the shoulder, hip or knee. It can also affect the elbow, ankle, and hand or foot. In pigmented villonodular synovitis, the synovial joint lining becomes swollen and grows. It may harm the bone around the joint. The lining also makes extra fluid that can cause swelling and make movement difficult and painful. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) Rheumatoid arthritis is a (chronic) long-term disease that causes pain, stiffness, swelling, decreases the range of motion of many joints. It affects any joint in the body commonly hands, knees, wrists, shoulder, elbow, hips, feet. In rheumatoid arthritis (RA) the synovial membrane becomes inflamed, it can become edematous and thicken with inflammatory exudates. Moreover, similar conditions can also be seen in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis.<unk>  for RA has become relatively rare because nowadays patients suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis have access to disease modifying drugs called biologics that are effective in containing the inflammation that damages the synovial tissue. In cases when the patient undergoes a rapid deterioration of joints, physicians lean towards a total knee replacement as the last recourse option. Still, in select cases where the patient is resistant to biologics as well as have higher risk factors for a TKR,<unk>  can still be looked into to provide some relief ranging anywhere from a one-year to three-year period. A study that analyzed patients who underwent Osmic Acid<unk>  found that approximately 28% patients were in disease remission for their knee joint for over three years duration.
