We sought to study the effect of synovectomy on the surface morphology of articular cartilages of the rabbit knee using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Fifteen rabbits were surgically synovectomised and allowed to regenerate their synovia during time intervals ranging from 3 to 44 wk. Cartilage specimens were shaved from 5 distinct articular sectors of synovectomised, contralateral and sham-operated knees and prepared for SEM using tannic acid. Applying structural reinforcement by tannic acid was found to secure the in vivo surface morphology of the cartilages and thus production of surface irregularities during preparation was excluded. The surface morphology of cartilages both from the synovectomised and contralateral joints was found to differ from that of intact healthy rabbits. A 'chaotic' nature of the altered cartilaginous morphology persisted as late as 44 wk postsynovectomy. Cartilages from sham-operated joints did not differ detectably from normal cartilages.
