ABSTRACT
Synovial chondromatosis (also called synovial osteochondromatosis) is a rare, benign condition that involves the synovium, which is the thin layer of tissue that lines joints. Although this type of tumor does not spread to other parts of the body, it can cause severe damage to the joint and lead to osteoarthritis. Early treatment is important to relieve painful symptoms and prevent further damage. We remove loose bodies and synovium through Arthroscope- Assisted Synovectomy and removal of Loose Bodies. This procedure is safe, have minimal blood loss and surgical dissection was minimal.
Key words: Synovial chondromatosis, Arthroscope- Assisted Synovectomy and removal of Loose Bodies, safe procedure.
