Overview

Surgical intervention is not recommended for the management of reactive arthritis. However, young adults who develop a chronic course may benefit from arthroscopic synovectomy. Patients with severe reactive arthritis with involvement of heart and vitreous chamber may require valve replacement surgery and vitrectomy respectively.
