- •
Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) can arise in the knee following TKA.
- •
Diffuse PVNS in the setting of TKA can be treated with complete synovectomy.
- •
Treated patients can obtain durable pain relief.
- •
By histology, PVNS can be distinguished from general synovitis with hemarthrosis.
- •
This distinction is critical as it guides treatment.
