## 해설

Synovitis is inflammation of the synovial membrane, which lines joints and tendon sheaths. This condition causes joint pain, swelling, and reduced range of motion. It can occur in various conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and trauma. The inflamed synovium produces excess synovial fluid, leading to joint effusion and further symptoms.
