Evidence now exists suggesting a neoplastic origin for pigmented villonodular synovitis, including a thorough description of the translocations involved. Arthroscopic excision for localized pigmented villonodular synovitis allows for both minimal recurrence and morbidity when compared with open excision; however, open excision still plays an important role in treating posterior compartment nodules. The optimal surgical treatment for diffuse pigmented villonodular synovitis is still a matter for debate, with combined anterior arthroscopic and open posterior excision being considered the preferred method. Radiation therapy has re-emerged as an additional treatment method for pigmented villonodular synovitis; however, the potential for serious toxicity makes it a questionable option, especially for such a benign condition. Small molecule and monoclonal antibody targeted therapies are being investigated as novel treatment methods for pigmented villonodular synovitis, with promising results.

Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 August 2016.
All research outputs
#6,958,403
of 22,881,154 outputs
Outputs from JBJS Reviews
#199
of 428 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#117,975
of 363,105 outputs
Outputs of similar age from JBJS Reviews
#11
of 16 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,881,154 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 69th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 428 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 363,105 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 67% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 16 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
