Our search encompassed five databases, namely PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Library. Statistical analysis was conducted on the extracted data by using the R ver. 4.4.0 software. This study included English\u2010language observational studies (case series and cohort studies) published up to 31 March 2024, focusing on in vivo human subjects with at least 2 years of follow\u2010up. Studies with less than 2 years of follow\u2010up, non\u2010arthroscopic treatment methods or addressing PVNS in structures other than the knee were excluded.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We identified 24 articles, comprising 7 case series and 17 cohort studies, based on title, abstract, and quality assessments. Approximately 16% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 10.4%\u201324.75%) of knees that underwent arthroscopic surgery were found to be at risk of recurrence. In line with our expectations, sub\u2010group analysis comparing recurrence rates among different subtypes of PVNS found that the diffuse subtype exhibited a higher recurrence rate of 19.4% (95% CI: 10.01%\u201334.15%), compared to the local subtype, which had a recurrence rate of 9.5% (95% CI: 4.47%\u201319.01%). Based on the meta\u2010regression analysis, no significant association was found between the recurrence rate and the publication year or patient mean age. However, there was a noticeable rise in the recurrence rate with a longer follow\u2010up period, indicating a probable correlation between extended follow\u2010up and increased recurrence rates.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our findings suggest that arthroscopic surgery for PVNS, particularly for the diffuse subtype, results in a higher recurrence rate compared to the localized subtype. However, the inherent challenges in achieving complete resection through arthroscopy, particularly in cases with extensive disease involvement, may contribute to the observed recurrence rates.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Level of Evidence<\/jats:title><jats:p>Level III systematic review and
