“…The exact etiology of synovial chondromatosis remains unclear, but this primary form can originate from synovium or tenosynovium [4,18,20]. The tenosynovial form may be caused by trauma, in contrast to "intra-articular" chondromatosis, which has no such association [8,12,22].…”

“…These two entities are distinct from the more common secondary synovial chondromatosis, which occurs with the implantation of cartilage fragments into the tissue as a result of degenerative disease (osteoarthritis), neuropathic arthropathy, or trauma [1,20,26].…”

“…The nomenclature has evolved with time to include chondromatosis of the joint capsule, diffuse enchondroma of the joint capsule, joint chondroma, synovial osteochondromatosis, and synovial chondromatosis [8,9,16,18,20]. Primary synovial chondromatosis most commonly occurs in young and middle-aged adults and is rarely found in children (youngest patient reported was 14 years old) [12,19].…”

“…Synovial chondromatosis (SC) is a benign proliferative metaplasia of joint synovium into cartilaginous tissue. [1][2][3][4][5] It arises within the synovium of tendon sheaths, bursa, or joints. 6,7 The typical clinical presentation is pain and decreased ROM with joint swelling or effusion.…”

Synovial chondromatosis (SC) is a benign proliferative metaplasia of joint synovium into cartilaginous tissue. The relative scarcity of presentation in the wrist or hands contributes to the difficulties in accurately diagnosing and obtaining the necessary treatment for SC. We present a 43-year-old man with a 10-month history of stiffness and decreased range of motion of his right first metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint. On examination, a firm mass was palpated surrounding his MCP joint. X-rays showed only a joint effusion. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an effusion, high signal intensity joint distension, and small erosions. Surgical exploration and complete synovectomy with excision of loose bodies was performed. The pathological diagnosis, based on the clinical examination as well as MRI, was consistent with that of tenosynovial chondromatosis. This case illustrates surgical exploration and pathological investigations may be necessary for SC diagnosis. The literature was reviewed for greater understanding of SC's presentation, diagnosis, and treatment.

“…Synovial osteochondromatosis can be classified as primary when the cartilaginous tissue originates directly from the metaplasia of the synovial tissue or the bursa; or as secondary synovial osteochondromatosis when free bodies originate directly from the hyaline cartilage and are deposited in the joint space or in the tendon sheath, due to degenerative diseases, trauma or neuropathic arthropathy. 6 …”

Synovial osteochondromatosis is a benign proliferative disorder with metaplasia of the synovial membrane that affects the fibroblasts of the synovial joints, tendons and bursae. In literature, there are few descriptions of synovial osteochondromatosis of the elbow. The objective of this article was to report a case of synovial osteochondromatosis of the elbow in a patient aged 32, basketball athlete, in which surgical treatment was chosen because of the pain and functional limitation and stage of disease with multiple loose bodies. Patient 32, male, presented with pain and limitation of motion of the elbow. The range of passive motion was 100° of flexion and 30° extension. The range of active motion was 40–90°. Magnetic resonance observed many loose bodies mainly in the posterior compartment in the olecranon fossa plus some chondral lesions in the capitellum. The arthroscopic treatment was chosen with two anteriors portals (medial and lateral) and two posterior portals (standard posterior and posterolateral) for easing loose bodies and osteoplasty of the olecranon fossa. The visual analog scale pain was 9–3 and its arc of active motion was 110° to −20° of flexion and extension. On a scale of performance from Mayo Clinic patients was 65 points preoperatively to 90 postoperatively with 9 months follow-up and the patient was satisfied with the treatment outcome. Arthroscopic treatment of synovial osteochondromatosis of the elbow is an effective and safe therapeutic management with low morbidity and early return to activities.
