ABSTRACT:
An aggregate suspension containing holmium-166 hydroxide and a carrier (such as a particulate ferric hydroxide) is injected into a patient's anesthetized joint (such as a knee joint or hip joint) for the treatment of inflamed synovial tissues such as present in arthritis, especially rheumatoid arthritis. The aggregate suspension is in a range of particle sizes from 1 to 40 microns. The holmium-166-containing suspension treats the synovial tissues, whereby radiation synovectomy takes place.
