“…If the joint pain and swelling are not relieved by conservative treatments, and when the patient presents with a decreased range of motion or locking joints, surgical or arthroscopic removal of loose bodies with or without a synovectomy is usually performed (Table ) . In a few reported cases of SC with inflammatory arthritis (Table ), invasive treatment was mostly given when a single joint was involved.…”

“…2 The rarest location for synovial chondromatosis to occur is the hand, accounting for only 2% of all cases. 3 Patients typically complain of an insidiously progressive constellation of pain and swelling at the involved joint, progressive stiffness limiting range of motion (ROM), crepitus, palpable nodules, and effusions. 3 Radiographic imaging (anteroposterior and lateral views) may reveal stippling calcifications in the soft tissue and joint space.…”

Primary synovial chondromatosis is a rare, benign proliferative disease of the joint synovium, tenosynovium, or bursal lining, in which cartilage metaplasia leads to the development of multiple intra-articular and periarticular loose osteocartilaginous bodies. This disease usually involves larger joints (knee, hip, elbow, and shoulder), but it has also rarely been reported in the hand. Patients with this disease complain of pain, swelling, nodules, and decreased range of motion of the affected joint. Due to its nonspecific symptoms and low prevalence, this disease often goes misdiagnosed, leading to delays in patient treatment. In the literature to date, there are only a few reports of primary synovial chondromatosis. In this case report, we present a patient with a rare case of primary synovial chondromatosis localized to right small finger distal interphalangeal joint.

“…SC affects the large joints, mostly the knee, followed by the hip, elbow, wrist, ankle, shoulder, and interphalangeal joint. 2 – 6 SC can also develop in some extra-articular bursae such as the subacromial and olecranon bursae. 7 , 8 Subacromial SC may result in rotator cuff tears (RCTs).…”

Staged arthroscopic procedure for treating simultaneous shoulder and elbow synovial chondromatosis: A case report and literature review

It is extremely rare for ipsilateral shoulder and elbow synovial chondromatosis to occur simultaneously. We report a very rare case of simultaneous shoulder and elbow synovial chondromatosis in a 53-year-old woman who was treated through staged surgeries. Shoulder arthroscopic synovectomy, debridement, biceps tenodesis, and subacromial decompression were conducted first, followed by elbow arthroscopy 2 months later. Post surgery, there was no recurrence either clinically or radiologically at 2 years follow-up. Despite some loss of the range of motion of the shoulder and muscle strength, the elbow functions recovered fully, and the patient was extremely satisfied with the clinical outcome. We recommend a staged arthroscopic procedure consisting of a thorough synovectomy and joint debridement for this condition.
