Diffuse-type Tenosynovial Giant-Cell Tumour (d-TGCT) of large joints is a rare, locally aggressive, soft tissue tumour affecting predominantly the knee. Previously classified as Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis (PVNS), this monoarticular disease arises from the synovial lining and is more common in younger adults. Given the diffuse and aggressive nature of this tumour, local control is often difficult and recurrence rates are high. Current literature is comprised primarily of small, and a few larger but heterogeneous, observational studies. Both arthroscopic and open

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a
rare proliferative process of the synovium which most commonly affects
the knee and occurs in either a localised (LPVNS) or a diffuse form
(DPVNS). The effect of different methods of surgical synovectomy
and adjuvant radiotherapy on the rate of recurrence is unclear.
We conducted a systematic review and identified 35 observational
studies in English which reported the use of surgical synovectomy
to treat PVNS of the knee. A meta-analysis included 630 patients, 137 (21.8%) of whom had
a recurrence after
Ultrasound screening has shown that the shoulder joint is almost always involved in rheumatoid arthritis. But only few of rheumatoid patients suffering from omarthritis are in considerable pain. Loss of strength and mobility is often compensated by the adjacent joints. Low patients demands, as pain and swelling can be treated often temporarely successfully by corticoid injections and the need of a wide exposure of the shoulder joint when performing an open

Synovitis of the smaller hand joints leads to soft-tissue and bony affections. Radiologically Larsen/Dale/Eek (LDE) distinguish 6 stages of increasing destruction. Tendon ruptures, swan-neck and buttonhole deformities may occur. In early stages, when the ligament- and capsule structures require no balancing therapy, arthroscopic

Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) frequently affects the finger joints. Persistent synovitis is believed to cause not only bone destruction but also various deformities of the hands. For this reason,
