Summary:[...]Synovial chondromatosis, although benign, needs detailed investigations to rule out secondary causes and timely Intervention to prevent further consequences. First described by Leannac in 1813, Synovial chondromatosis is relatively rare, usually monoarticular consisting of proliferation of cartilaginous and multiple nodular cartilaginous bodies. Radiographic imaging studies showed multiple loose body calcifications (Fig 1). Since there was no history of prior, direct ankle trauma or systemic inflammatory disease, primary synovial chondromatosis was strongly suspected. According to them, practitioners should havea high index of suspicion for Synovial chondromatosis when patients complain of joint stiffness and radiographs show multiple loose bodies in and around a synovial joint.
