Pigmented villonodular synovitis. Pedal manifestations.
Although pigmented villonodular synovitis is a benign process, the potential of osseous destruction makes it a difficult case to manage. The treatment of pigmented villonodular synovitis often necessitates multiple surgical procedures with prolonged periods of nonweightbearing. Recalcitrant pain is often a sequela, secondary to nerve impingement.
