CASE PRESENTATION: A rare case of bilateral synovial chondromatosis of the ankle is reviewed. A 26 year-old male presented with chronic bilateral ankle pain.[mendeley.com]
Pain is increased with weight bearing and may also be present at rest. In the secondary form, a history of osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, or rheumatoid arthritis may be present. Joint effusion may increase with increased activity.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This was the one failure reported by Coolican and Dandy 1 in which the patient presented with a range of movement from 45 to 90 of flexion.[online.boneandjoint.org.uk]

It usually occurs within the rotator cuff tendons of the shoulder, and causes pain and inflammation. This condition occurs more often in females and diabetics. The supraspinatus tendon is most often involved.[medium.com]
Treatment [ edit ] Asymptomatic patients do not require therapy. Symptomatic patients should undergo arthroscopic or surgical removal of intra-articular bodies.[en.wikipedia.org]
After three arthroscopic synovectomies and removal of loose bodies, an arthrotomy and an open synovectomy, the patient still complained of severepain and stiffness.[online.boneandjoint.org.uk]

In experienced hands, US is also useful for the diagnosis. [1] In the disease, the thin flexible membrane of the synovium gradually forms blisters which calcify and enlarge.[en.wikipedia.org]
Common signs/symptoms include jointswelling (fluid in the joint), joint pain, difficulty with joint movement and a creaking or popping sensation during movement. Sometimes the nodules can be felt under the skin close to the joint.[nicklauschildrens.org]
This usually is coupled with complaints of jointswelling. It most frequently is monoarticular in the primary form and may be multi-articular in the secondary form. Occasionally the patient will experience locking or catching in the joint.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Additional radiographic findings include jointeffusion and degenerative changes such as joint space narrowing, subchondral sclerosis, and osteophyte formation.[en.wikipedia.org]
Jointeffusion may increase with increased activity. With increased jointeffusions, pain can also increase. Evaluation Radiographic findings enable differentiation of primary from secondary types.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In the secondary form, a history of osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, or rheumatoid arthritis may be present. Joint effusion may increase with increased activity. With increased joint effusions, pain can also increase.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Differential diagnosis [ edit ] Trauma-related: Fracture with avulsed fragment Fragmentation of meniscus with calcification Degenerative joint disease related: Degenerative joint disease with detached spur Synovial proliferation: Pigmented villonodular[en.wikipedia.org]
A manipulation under anaesthetic was performed which resulted in a fracture of the femur. When this had united, the patient was left with 20 of movement in the knee and an arthrodesis was offered.[online.boneandjoint.org.uk]

Symptoms such as joint stiffness and aching are the result of osteoarthritis that sets in after years of persistent joint irritation. Note: Possibility of paralyzation if left too long.[en.wikipedia.org]
There are 3 defined stages to this disease: early: no loose bodies but active synovial disease; transitional: active synovial disease, and loose bodies; late: loose bodies but no synovial disease; In the early stages of the disease it is often confused[en.wikipedia.org]
They may pass from the main joint cavity into a neighboring synovialcyst. For this reason, a mass may not be appreciated within the actual joint space itself.[en.wikipedia.org]
You can help by adding to it. ( August 2017 ) Treatment [ edit ] Treatment is frequently by means of removal of the loose bodies and of a partial or full synovectomy (removal of the synovium) Full synovectomy is a moderately major operation and involves[en.wikipedia.org]

Synovial Chondromatosis is benign, noncancerous, and usually only requires symptomatic treatment unless the condition is painful. If it is painful, removal of all loose bodies is required, using an open or arthroscopic technique.[medium.com]

3 all of whom complained primarily of pain and swelling, and loss of extension was noted in five of 18 knees by Coolican and Dandy. 1 In their case of recurrence and in ours, the stiffness was severe and was the primary complaint, suggesting a poor prognosis[online.boneandjoint.org.uk]
Prognosis There is rarely reoccurrence of primary synovial chondromatosis after surgical management with the removal of the loose bodies and partial synovectomy. Reoccurrence has been reported in a case involving the temporal mandibular joint.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In these cases, the lesions are found to be in bursal tissue and/or in tenosynovial tissue in proximity to an involved joint. [1] [2] [3] [4] Etiology The etiology of the primary form has not been determined.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiology Men are reported to be affected with synovial chondromatosis up to four times more commonly than women. The knee is most common joint affected.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
