Abstract: | We have used arthroscopy in the treatment of synovial chondromatosis of the hip joint. Two patients complained of pain of
the hip joint that was aggravated by weight bearing. On admission, range of motion of the affected hip joints was slightly
restricted. At hip arthroscopy, osteochondral loose bodies were removed from the joint and partial synovectomy was performed.
Histologic examination revealed synovial chondromatosis. Pain relief was obtained in both patients postoperatively. |
