ABSTRACT

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a benign, of unknown etiology, proliferate disease of synovial membrane. The most frequent observed areas are the joints of knee, hip, shoulder and ankle. The wrist is an unusual anatomical region regarding the PVNS and only few related subjects have been reported in the literature. Even that PVNS is generally progressing benign, rarely it may progress destructively. We have the belief that in the treatment of PVNS of wrist the large tenosynovectomy and when necessary the bone debridement are singly sufficient for the treatment.

Keywords:

Pigmented villonodular synovitis, wrist, surgical treatment.
