Abstract

Introduction

Early synovectomy is considered as the main treatment of pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) of the hip in young patients with preserved cartilage. The purpose of the study is to evaluate outcomes of arthroscopic management for PVNS of the hip.

Methods

Patients who underwent primary hip arthroscopy for the treatment of histology-confirmed PVNS by the senior author between January 2012 and December 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. We excluded patients who had less than 1-year follow-up or had undergone primary surgeries with other surgeons and then received revision hip arthroscopic procedures by the senior author. The recurrence of PVNS and postoperative condition of affected hip were assessed by follow-up magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Patient-reported outcomes of modified Harris hip score (mHHS) and 12-item International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12) were collected at latest follow-up.

Results

Nine patients (2 males, 7 females) with a mean age of 24.3 ± 11.2 years (range 14–44 years) were included in this study. Localized PVNS was observed in four patients, and diffuse PVNS was observed in five patients. No patient presented with advanced osteochondral destruction. Five patients received single adjuvant radiosynoviorthesis. No patient had evidence of recurrence based on follow-up MRI. Patient-reported outcomes were obtained in eight patients at mean 55.8 ± 26.1 months (range 24–84 months) after the index surgery. The mean mHHS was 94.6 ± 4.9 (range 84.7–100) and the mean iHOT-12 was 93.3 ± 20.2 (range 50–120). No patient needed secondary surgery during the follow-up period.

Conclusion

Arthroscopic subtotal synovectomy can offer favorable short to mid-term outcomes in the treatment of hip PVNS in case of no advanced osteochondral damage at presentation.
