Synovial chondromatosis of the ankle joint and elbow in two cases

Abstract

Two male patients, aged 44 and 88 years, presented with complaints of restricted joint movement, a growing swelling, and pain in the elbow and ankle joints, respectively. Radiographs showed cartilaginous nodules in the affected joints and minimal chondral damage. Magnetic resonance findings were consistent with synovial chondromatosis. Both patients underwent removal of loose bodies by open arthrotomy and partial synovectomy. Histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis. No recurrences were detected within a follow-up period of at least a year.
