Rationale:Pain in the hip joint is a common symptom in children. The common diseases leading to pain in the hip joint in children include transient synovitis of the hip, septic arthritis of the hip, and Legg–Calve–Perthes disease.Patient concerns:A 7-year-old boy was admitted due to pain in the right hip joint and limping for more than 1 month.Diagnosis:Synovial chondromatosis.Interventions:The patient underwent a hip open surgery, all the loose bodies in articular capsule were removed.Outcomes:At the 6-month follow-up, pain and limping disappeared, and the range of activity of the hip joint was restored to a normal level.Conclusions:Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon disease which can cause pain of hip joint in children.Lessons:When the pediatric orthopedic surgeon treats the children suffered with hip pain the surgeon should be aware of this rare disease.

“…A search of peer-reviewed literature revealed only two cases of synovial chondromatosis in female children. 13 , 14 In those two reports, the number of loose bodies was less than three, and the size of them was quite large, which could be easily recognized on the preoperative MRI and arthroscopic examinations. Furthermore, the masses were located in relatively common locations, and thus they could be easily removed on the arthroscopy.…”

Synovial chondromatosis commonly occurs in the anterior compartment of the knee joint, predominantly in middle-aged men. It is relatively unusual in female children and is rarely encountered in the synovium beneath the meniscus. The present report describes a rare case of synovial chondromatosis that developed in the synovium just inferior to both menisci of the right knee in a 10-year-old girl. At this unusual age and location, there is a greater probability of missed diagnosis, due to the lack of definite informative incidence, and difficulty in finding the lesions during arthroscopic examinations. In the present case, multiple loose bodies were hidden by the meniscus, and thus, there were no structural abnormalities in the initial arthroscopic views before probing the meniscus. After careful inspection, we found numerous cartilaginous loose bodies and removed them as much as possible with arthroscopy.
