Abstract

Synovial osteochondromatosis (SOC) is one of the benign conditions which gives rise to intra or extra articular osteochondral loose bodies. Though the exact aetiology is not known, SOC may be an outcome of trauma, avascular necrosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteochondritis dessicans. Usually the disease is monoarticular affecting the knee joint. Treatment of choice of SOC is surgical excision with open or arthroscopic approach. Overall prognosis is good but recurrence is inevitable if removal is incomplete.
