Synovial chondromatosis (osteochondromatosis) is a rare lesion originating from the synovial membrane. It develops as a result of metaplasia of the tendon sheath or synovial membrane of the bursa in the joint and causes the formation of chondral or osteochondral foci in the synovium. These cartilaginous lesions can cause secondary degenerative changes as free bodies within the joint. Between the ages of 30 and 50, the knee joint is less commonly seen in the hip, ankle, shoulder and elbow joints. Clinically, joint pain and progressive limitation of motion, effusion and recurrent locking in some cases are seen. In this case, we aimed to present SC radiologic (CBCT and MR) and clinical findings in TME of a 53 years old female patient who applied to our clinic for synovial chondromatosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
