Radionuclide synovectomy (RSV) is a form of minimally invasive treatment of
persistent joint inflammation. The procedure has a high safety profile and the
occurrence of serious adverse events, such as full-thickness skin radiation
necrosis, is rare. Less severe radiation events, while more common, are usually
benign and self-limiting. We present two cases of low-grade beta burns that
developed after RSV, despite proper injection technique. The potential long-term
risk of such exposure is also discussed, with reference to historical radiation
incidents. While low-grade beta burns after RSV usually pose little danger to the
patient, any clinician involved in radionuclide treatment of arthritis should be
aware of their existence and management.
