Radioulnar Joint

Primary synovial chondromatosis is a proliferation of cartilaginous bodies within the synovial membrane, tendon sheath or bursa. It is a rare orthopaedic entity especially when it occurs in the distal radioulnar joint. We report a 27-year-old man with recurrent synovial chondromatosis, nine years after his first operation. Although rare, synovial chondromatosis must be considered in the differential diagnosis in a patient with pain and swelling of the distal radioulnar joint. From our literature review, we report a 17% (5/30) recurrence rate for synovial chondromatosis involving the wrist joint which has not been documented in the medical literature previously.

Introduction: Synovial chondromatosis is a rare benign entity with the presence of cartilaginous or osseous loose bodies in the synovium. It commonly involves the larger joints such as the knee, hip, ankle and rarely the shoulder joint manifesting with pain, swelling, and restriction of movements. The treatment of choice is surgical intervention in symptomatic patients using either the open or the arthroscopic approach. Case Report: Here, we report a rare case of synovial chondromatosis affecting the right shoulder joint in a 23-year-old male with a 5-year disease duration who presented with progressive pain and restriction in movements which were impacting his routine activities. The loose bodies were removed using the arthroscopic approach combined with a partial synovectomy, and intra-articular methylprednisolone post procedure. The patient showed an excellent recovery in joint mobility within 4 weeks post-operatively, and there were no clinical signs of recurrence during a 6-month follow-up period. Conclusion: We believe that arthroscopic surgery is effective in the treatment of patients with synovial chondromatosis with advantages such as good visualization, lesser morbidity, and early return of functional activities. Keywords: Synovial chondromatosis, loose bodies, arthroscopy.

Functional Examination

Objectives: Primary synovial chondromatosis (PSC) is a rare benign neoplasm that affects diarthrodial joints. The reported cases of PSC in the literature are mostly localized in the knee, followed by the hip, elbow, wrist and shoulder. We report the surgical treatment of a rare case of PSC localized in the long biceps tendon sheath. Methods: A 66-year-old woman presented severe pain in her left shoulder without any traumatic event. The pain was rated on Visual analog scale (VAS) as 4 to 7. At the physical examination, a palpable mass was found medial to the bicipital groove of the left shoulder. Functional examination of the left shoulder revealed painful limitation at 150 abduction, at 130 forward elevation and at 40 external rotation. Constant Murley Score was measured as 65. A magnetic resonance image (MRI) revealed the presence of 2x2x1.8 cm lesion within the biceps tendon sheath, rotator cuff tear and a bone cyst in the great tubercule. The treatment of choice was the open surgical treatment with excision of the lesion, curettage and spongious allografting of the bony cyst and repair of the rotator cuff with two suture anchors. The histological examination was consistent with PSC without any malignant transformation. The shoulder was immobilized postoperatively for 2 days in a sling. Immediate passive ROM exercises were started at third day for 6 weeks. Results: At the 6 week follow-up, the patient achieved full symmetric restoration of motion. She had returned to full activity. Visual analog scale was rated 0 to 1 and Constant Murley Score was measured as 92. Functional examination of the left shoulder reveled 170 of abduction, at 160 forward elevation and at 40 external rotation. At 1-year follow-up, clinical findings were unremarkable, with no sign of recurrence. Conclusion: PSC is a benign, idiopathic lesion of the synovial membranes of the diarthrodial joints. PSC is observed rarely in extra-articular shoulder involvement. Although the diagnosis of PSC is often clear with the results of radiological and intraoperative findings, it needs to be verified histologically. Surgical treatment is preferred to avoid the risk of malignant transformation, possible damage to the neighboring anatomical structures and functional disability as seen in our patient.

Open Surgical Procedure

Synovial chondromatosis is rare condition, a benign proliferation of the synovial membrane, with the possibility of forming large masses that produce cartilaginous bodies, that can either  remain attached to the synovium or can detach and float in the joint, producing mechanical damage to the joint surfaces. The cartilaginous bodies can, in time, transform, ossifying and later developing bone marrow or, in very rare cases, it may suffer malignant transformation to chondrosarcoma. We present a case of a 28 years old male, with synovial chondromatosis of the left shoulder, comprising of two large synovial masses, one extended into the axillary recess and long head of biceps tendon sheath and another large mass expanded towards the anterior thoracic wall and subclavian space. We treated the case in two stages, first by open surgical procedure with resection of the synovial mass, and secondary through the arthroscopic approach, with excision of the loose bodies and synovectomy by cauterization.
