1/65. Chondromatosis of the ankle joint (Reichel syndrome).A case of chondromatosis of the upper ankle joint in childhood is described. It is a monoarticular disease with a good prognosis, frequently without known prior trauma or inflammation, although often free fragments of cartilage are seen in the joint cavities. It originates from the synovium of the joint, and is known in the literature as Reichel syndrome.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = chondromatosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/65. Synovial chondromatosis of the subcoracoid bursa.Synovial chondromatosis, is the chondroid metaplasia of the synovial membrane. Large joints such as the knee and hip are most commonly involved. Extraarticular involvement is rarely described. Synovial chondromatosis may be associated with impingement syndrome of the shoulder. We report a case of synovial chondromatosis of the subcoracoid bursa, which resulted in impingement symptoms.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 7keywords = chondromatosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/65. Synovial osteochondromatosis of the sternoclavicular joint.A 9-year-old boy with a rare localisation of synovial osteochondromatosis at the left sternoclavicular joint is presented. Synovial osteochondromatosis at this site and at this age has not been previously reported. joint loose bodies were removed surgically and partial synovectomy was performed. Follow-up showed no evidence of recurrence over a period of 8 years.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = chondromatosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/65. arthroscopy of the elbow for synovial chondromatosis.Two cases of arthroscopic removal of multiple loose bodies are presented. Successful results were achieved, and patients had 4-year follow-up. Both cases involved classic manifestations of synovial chondromatosis. Associated degenerative changes were present in one case; histologic examination could not confirm synovial origin of the disease. arthroscopy for removal of symptomatic loose bodies is an excellent choice as exemplified by these two cases. Care should be taken to review histologic findings, which may help in understanding the natural history of this type of process.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = chondromatosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |

7/65. Synovial chondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint: varying presentation in 4 cases.Synovial chondromatosis is a rare condition in which cartilage is formed in the synovial membrane of a joint. The manifestations of this benign neoplastic process can mimic many common temporomandibular joint and parotid diseases. Four cases of synovial chondromatosis are presented. In each case, atypical presentation, coexisting joint disease, or both caused diagnostic confusion. The histories and physical examinations were initially consistent with more common joint diseases in each case. Imaging provided some insight into diagnosis and was a definitive indication for surgical treatment. Treatment by subtotal synovectomy and by removal of chondromatous nodules were undertaken in each case. No patient in our series has had recurrence of disease or symptoms after surgical treatment.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = chondromatosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/65. Synovial chondromatosis of the glenohumeral joint: a rare condition.The case of a 22-year-old man with synovial chondromatosis (SC) of the shoulder joint is described. A literature review confirmed that SC of the glenohumeral joint is very rare and that the etiology of the disease is still unknown. The diagnosis is often delayed, and the preferred form of management remains controversial. We consider magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) a valuable tool in detecting SC at an early phase and estimating the intrasynovial extent of the disease. Shoulder arthroscopy today represents an elegant treatment option for removing the chondromas and performing a partial synovectomy. It might, however, be insufficent in cases of involvement of the bicipital tendon sheath and other recesses of the joint.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = chondromatosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/65. Synovial osteochondromatosis complicating pilon fracture of the tibia.A case of previously undiagnosed synovial osteochondromatosis complicating a tibial pilon fracture is presented. The entrapment of osteochondral bodies within the fracture margin prevented complete reduction of the fracture and necessitated surgical intervention.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = chondromatosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/65. Distinguishing multiple rice body formation in chronic subacromial-subdeltoid bursitis from synovial chondromatosis.Multiple rice body formation is a complication of chronic bursitis. Although it resembles synovial chondromatosis clinically and on imaging, the literature suggests that analysis of radiographic and MR appearances should allow discrimination. We report the imaging findings in a 41-year-old man presenting with rice body formation in chronic subacromial-subdeltoid bursitis. We found that the signal intensity of the rice bodies is helpful in making the diagnosis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = chondromatosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
