OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical manifestations, use of diagnostic imaging techniques and outcome of patients with synovial chondromatosis in our health area.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: POVISA Hospital provides health services to a population of 127,000 inhabitants. The clinical histories of all the patients in this area who were histologically diagnosed with synovial chondromatosis between January 1992 and December 2003 were reviewed.
RESULTS: There were 38 cases of joint chondromatosis, all monoarticular, and one case of extra-articular chondromatosis in 20 men and 19 women aged 56.5±12.7 years (mean±SD) at diagnosis (range: 16-79 years). The main joint affected was the knee (15; 39.5%), followed by the hip (8; 21%) and the temporomandibular joint and elbow, both of these in three patients (7.9%). Previous arthropathy was recorded in 18 patients (18/38, 47.4%). Symptom duration prior to diagnosis was 25.4±34 months. The most frequent clinical manifestations were joint pain (100%), restricted movement (77%) and swelling (57%). Plain radiographs were carried out in all patients and suggested the diagnosis in 20 (51.3%). Magnetic resonance imaging findings led to a diagnosis in 12 out of 15 patients in whom this procedure was required (80%). In all patients loose bodies were removed and synovectomy was performed by arthroscopic procedures in six. In 16 patients (42%) total joint replacement was required. The mean postoperative follow-up was 23.7±5.3 months. No cases of chondrosarcoma were identified and the recurrence rate was low (7.9%).
CONCLUSIONS: In our setting, almost half (47.4%) of the cases of synovial chondromatosis occurred in a previously damaged joint: the correct diagnosis was delayed by more than 2 years and total arthroplasty was required in 42% of the patients.
