Open or Arthroscopic Synovectomy Is the Preferred Management Option in Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis of the Hip Joint Without Evidence of Degeneration: A Systematic Review of 20 Studies.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To provide an up-to-date systematic review on the treatment options for pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) of the hip and provide a grade of recommendation using standardized systems.

Methods

A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and The Cochrane Library from the date of inception of each database through December 4, 2021, was performed. Studies that described the outcomes of treatment of hip PVNS were identified. These outcomes were discussed and synthesized by three reviewers, and a grade of recommendation was assigned.

Results

Twenty studies were identified. Seven studies described arthroscopic synovectomy, eight studies described open synovectomy, nine studies described arthroplasty, and one study described osmic acid synoviorthesis.
