Abstract
|
|
|
|
Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare proliferative disease involving the synovial membranes. Complete excision with a total synovectomy is important for diffuse type PVNS because of its high recurrence rate. In the ankle, complete excision of diffuse type PVNS is difficult due to the anatomical structure of the ankle joint. This paper reports the author’s experience of surgical treatment with combined open and arthroscopic synovectomy. In this manner, it is expected that the complications of the open procedure and the recurrence rate of arthroscopic procedure can be reduced.
