Abstract

We report here a rare presentation of a primary synovial osteochondromatosis of the elbow. Clinical presentation and radiological findings were suggestive of synovial osteochondromatosis. Arthroscopic synovectomy, debridement, excisional biopsy and loose body removal was performed and histopathological examination of the tissue sample is consistent with the diagnosis of synovial osteochondromatosis. This article highlights the surgical technique in managing synovial chondromatosis to achieve better functional outcome
