Synovial chondromatosis (SC) is a rare benign disorder characterized by the presence of metaplastic cartilage nodules originating from the synovial lining of joints, bursa, and tendon sheaths. The treatment option is usually open surgery for excision of loose bodies and synovectomy, while on literature review only few cases with arthroscopic management are reported. We present a 28-year-old male patient who was evaluated for pain, swelling, and limited range of motion of the right ankle joint. Both physical examination and radiographic investigations were suggestive of primary SC of the ankle joint and arthroscopic surgery was performed. Removal of loose bodies and synovectomy were successfully performed. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis. SC of the ankle is a rare disorder, and its treatment strategies depend on patient complaint, age, and the stage of the disease. Open or arthroscopic surgery can be performed. This case report suggests that arthroscopic management can provide successful outcome in such cases.

Arthroscopic Management

Synovial Chondromatosis is a rare and it is a benign condition characterized by multiple cartilaginous nodules in synovial facet spaces. Synovial Chondromatosis affects most commonly the knee joint. This is a case report of a 30-year-old male patient presented with pain and swelling over the left knee joint. On evaluation MRI shows loose bodies, for which he underwent, arthroscopic exploration. Viscous fluid and loose bodies were identified and showed synovial hyperemia. Synovial debridement was done and loose bodies were removed and sent to histopathological examination. The result signify that arthroscopy is efficient method both in diagnostic as well as therapeutic management of synovial chondromatosis.
