Abstract
ALTHOUGH the clearance rates of several small molecular weight substances from the joint cavity have been monitored1–4, the mechanisms involved have received less attention. Whereas there is some evidence to support the relationship between the clearance rate of the inert lipid soluble gas, xenon-133, and local tissue perfusion1, the assumptions involved in relating the clearance rates of ionized radioisotopes and blood flow are not certain. The clearance rates of radioactive sodium and potassium have been noted to be faster than that of radioactive iodine4.
