A member asked:
I have an open knee surgery in january i have pvns. any thing you recommend and what do i expect ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Option for surgery : An option is to have it done arthroscopic vs open. Recurrence is similar between the two. Both with cause swelling after due to the fact is is a synovial process. Real question will be if the cartilage has been affected by the PVNS. Good luck.
