Abstract


Synovial osteochondromatosis is a disease of the synovium characterized by multiple cartilaginous bodies formation. Being characteristically monarticular it commonly involves the knee joint. Despite frequent mention of elbow involvement in various texts and articles, we wish to review the clinical, radiologic, and histologic features by presenting a case in an elderly male. By correct preoperative diagnosis and complete excision, full range of motion can be achieved in an relatively unforgivable elbow joint even with a delayed presentation.
Keywords: Loose bodies, Elbow, Synovial
