“…The treatment of choice involves the excision of loose bodies and an extensive synovectomy regardless of whether the synovial osteochondroma is intra-or extra-articular (19,20). In the present case, mass excision with extensive synovectomy was performed due to the large size of the mass and the irritation to the hip joint.…”

Abstract. Extra-articular synovial osteochondromatosis is a rare disease. The present study describes the case of a 46-year-old female who suffered from extra-articular synovial osteochondromatosis of the left proximal thigh with limited hip movement. The patient underwent a total tumor resection and recovered well. The tumor was 15x14x5 cm³ in size and located in the muscle gap. After a 3-month follow-up, the patient's left hip motion was improved and a computed tomography scan demonstrated no evidence of recurrence. However, the long-term efficacy of this procedure requires continuous observation of the patient. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of a giant extra-articular synovial osteochondromatosis of the proximal thigh muscle gap.

Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon, benign neoplastic nodular cartilaginous lesion of the synovium that can lead to lose bodies and arthritic degeneration if left untreated. We report the case of 2 patients with primary Synovial chondromatosis of the ankle with 139 and 12 loose bodies, respectively, who were treated arthroscopically. Both patients had successful outcomes without recurrence or malignancy, after excision of the lesions. We have reported the highest number of loose bodies (i.e. 139) in the ankle extracted arthroscopically. To conclude, Synovial chondromatosis, although benign, needs detailed investigations to rule out secondary causes and timely intervention to prevent further consequences. Arthroscopic treatment provides easy access and allows early return to activities. Level of clinical evidence: 4- Case Report.

“…2,16 Histologic examination of the synovium is important not only to confirm the diagnosis but also to detect any malignant transformation to low-grade chondrosarcoma. 2,17,18 The same surgical aim and operative principle may also be applied to tenosynovial chondromatosis, although it is not known whether or not this condition will lead to tendon degeneration or tear if left untreated. 6 In previous reports, open synovectomy and removal of loose bodies were performed through a posteromedial ankle incision and only focused on the posterior ankle and tarsal tunnel region.…”

Endoscopic Loose Body Removal From Zone 2 Flexor Hallucis Longus Tendon Sheath

Tenosynovial chondromatosis can occur in the flexor hallucis longus tendon sheath. Complete synovectomy and removal of the loose bodies comprise the treatment of choice. An open procedure requires extensive soft-tissue dissection because the flexor hallucis longus tendon is a deep structure except at the hallux. A tendoscopy approach to synovectomy and removal of loose bodies has the advantage of minimally invasive surgery. This technical note outlines pearls and pitfalls and provides a step-by-step guide to performing this procedure.
