Recently there was a question asked if you can have radiation treatment after a TKR? My orthopedic oncologist said that you can have radiation treatment after a TKR. She said generally they would do it to control symptoms vs controlling the disease because their isn't as much of a natural joint that the pvns can harm. The other question posted was “ how can pvns return after a TKR?” During a TKR they don't take out the entire joint capsule (synovial tissue) because you still need it so your joint will function. There is still a possibility that PVNS could be in the remaining tissues but the chances are reduced.
I am not a physician and the above is in no way to be taken as medical advise. This is my interpretation of what I have been told by my physicians and from what I have read. Always consult with a professional for case specific accurate information.
