“…From the relatively small number of reported cases we can conclude that, although there have been cases in the ankle, elbow and the hip joint (3,9), they are mostly seen in the knee joint (4,6,8). The location is para-articular and intracapsular, mostly infrapatellar or medial to the patella.…”

“…Para-articular and intracapsular chondromas are rare benign tumors mostly seen in the vicinity of the large joints. They were often named capsular osteoma, osteochondroma or chondroma depending on the proportion of bone and cartilage (8). According to Jaffe, there is only one single lesion in question regardless of the ossification, and in 1958 he classified all these terms under one entity: intracapsular and para-articular chondroma (5).…”

“…The diagnosis of these benign tumors is made with clinical and radiological correlation with the pathological features (8,9). Although rarely seen, they should be considered in the differential diagnosis of soft tissue masses around the joints: hematoma, bursitis, periosteal chondroma, synovial sarcoma, and synovial chondrosarcoma.…”

Introduction: Intracapsular and Para-articular chondroma is a rare variant of the extraskeletal chondromas. It arises from the capsule and/or the para-articular connective tissue of the large joints (mostly the knee) and is a result of cartilaginous metaplasia. In the course of time these tumors ossify and this is where their second name comes from: Para-articular osteochondromas. Case reports: We report six new cases of para-articular chondroma of the knee. On physical examination there was slow-growing solid mass in the knee and moderate pain. The radiological findings and CT scan show soft-tissue mass with variable amount of ossification, and on histological examination the presence of mature hyaline and connective cartilage was confirmed in all of the cases. Conclusion: The diagnosis of these benign tumors is made with correlation of clinical, radiological and histological features. Treatment of choice is surgical excision.

Introduction: Although more than 100 operative procedures have been described for the treatment of patellar instability, there is no single universally successful procedure. For the most patients with lateral patellar instability medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reefing is recommended. When we perform MPFL reefing we are not aware of the quality and strength of the MPFL tissue. In the presence of recurrent patellar instability, the quality and strength of MPFL tissue is often compromised and it disturbs patellar stability after MPFL reefing. Biomedicine development, recognizing the ligament healing process show us that autologous blood products, particularly PRP can enhance healing in soft tissue injuries. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the potential effect of Plasma preparation rich in growth factors on patellar stability after MPFL reefing. Material and methods: Plasma preparation rich in growth factors was produced from a unit of autologous whole blood using Arthrex ACP double syringe system.Platelet gel was prepared by adding bovine thrombin and 10% solution of calcium chloride.The platelet gel was applied locally into the place where suturing of the MPFL was performed. In this prospective, randomized and double blind study12 patients were included:6 patients in the PG group who received platelet gel and 6 patients in the control group who were not treated with platelet gel. Patellar stability was evaluated before surgery and 3 months after surgery with Axial stress radiographs. Results: The calculated 3 month improvement was 12.67 ± 2.51 in the control group and 17.33 ± 1.52 in the PG group, (p = 0.064). Although there was greater improvement in patellar stability in PG group comparing to the control group, the difference was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). The main reason for this was probably the small number of patients included in the study. Conclusion: Results showed that growth factors from the plasma preparation rich in growth factors have positive effect on patellar stability after MPFL reefing.We believe that they stimulate and accelerate physiological healing and reparative tissue processes in ligament healing. More studies should be made, including more patients, if we want to get more relevant results.
